Autonomous Wide Area Surveillance Sensor on small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project tests a video detection and ranging sensor on a small Group 1 UAS optimized for Maritime Wide-Area Surveillance in support of Naval and Marine Forces in the Littoral Battlespace. This technology autonomously detects small objects on the sea surface over very wide areas, during day and night, and in conditions up to Sea State 6. If successful, this technology will transition to the Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical UAS Program Office (PMA-263) for follow-on procurement and fielding.
