Airborne Video Surveillance
New trends in tactical UAVs emphasize the need for breakthroughs in aided surveillance and targeting technology:
- MOUT, Force Protection, Precision Targeting missions
- Keep UAV costs down/reduce loitering over target
- Lower echelons, no IA’s, real time operations
-
AVS technologies of MTS, AM and PVR will provide breakthrough capabilities, but require demonstration of high risk technologies prior to transition.
NVESD has teamed with DARPA to leverage our integration strengths and transition the technology to Army applications.
- Providing significant co-funding for AVS & companion ATD for new sensors
Actively working transition plans for TUAV and mini UAVs. Successful demonstrations required.
