Airborne Reconnaissance Systems

Abstract

This project continues development of advanced tactical reconnaissance and surveillance sensor technologies and develops technology for the on-board fusion of multi-discipline intelligence sensors, i.e. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), and Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT). Hyperspectral, multi-spectral, interferometric synthetic aperture radar sensors, advanced target and image exploitation software will be developed. Additionally, efforts will be directed toward the development of advanced multi-mode Electroptic/Infrared (EO/IR), multi-mode MTI/SAR radar, foliage penetration radar, multi-spectral/hyperspectral imageries (MSI/HSI), MASINT on-board fusion and registration, and cueing of the EO/IR/SAR/HSI imaging sensor. The Hyperspectral Longwave Imager for the Tactical Environment (HyLITE) is the next generation airborne day/night hyperspectral reconnaissance sensor for the detection and identification of camouflaged and concealed targets in all terrain environments. Design improvements will be implemented and flight testing conducted to assess system performance.
