Scanning Infra-Red (IR) Sensor for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Detection and Tracking (SISUDT)
Abstract
Previously funded as an enabling technology within the JCTD program. SISUDT responds to a Joint Urgent Operational Need request to detect, track, identify and evaluate threats by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at forward operating bases (FOB). Partners involved in SISUDT include U.S. Central Command, U.S. Navy, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Labs (MIT-LL). The SISUDT Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) is managed by the U.S. Central Command’s Technology Tiger Team to develop a multi-sensor C-UAS to detect, track, and identify UAS in the vicinity of a forward operating base (FOB). Conducted a six month assessment at a FOB in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. At the end of the assessment, SISUDT transitioned to U.S. Forces Afghanistan for continued operations.
