RED CYCLOPS
Abstract
This project leveraged autonomy and artificial intelligence to develop and demonstrate a greatly reduced size, weight, and power imaging capability that is compatible with various platforms across the DoD. Development efforts focused on the system design, modeling, prototyping, and testing of various high-risk design aspects. Project work included design of an advanced autonomous sensor with artificial intelligence edge processing capabilities for situation monitoring. RED CYCLOPS was integrated into a field deployable package that uses an infrared imaging sensor for observation of subjects at long stand-off distances. To accommodate this sensor, the effort implements an optical observation system design, along with a customized pod to enable integration with various ruggedized platforms. In FY 2019, the project completed the development and build efforts leading to a field test. Following the successful test, RED CYCLOPS transitioned to a program of record. Additional details are classified.
