Airborne Video SurveillanceNew Tactical UAV Missions
MOUT - Military Operations in Urban Terrain
- Theater sensors limited by masking
- Precision location critical
- Dispersed lines of sight common
- Multiple human & vehicular activities
Force Protection/Countermine
- Protect fixed assets from enemy intrusion
- Long duration (boring) activity
- Example: protect airfield perimeter from enemy
mine laying operations
- Activity recognition and tracking crucial
Precision Targeting
- Evolution: 80m => 50m => 20m
- Minimize collateral damage, especially in
built up areas
- Sensor only solutions becoming very expensive
New UAV missions challenge today’s sensor & processor technology
