Full Spectrum Targeting

Abstract

This effort will mature and demonstrate key targeting sensor system and automation (i.e. Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML)) technologies essential to enable the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and Future Unmanned Aircraft System (FUAS) modernization priorities. Effort will leverage advancements in laser, infrared imaging focal plane arrays, and multi/hyperspectral system technologies to develop a stabilized, turreted payload that can actively and/or passively image in multiple spectral bands simultaneously providing robust targeting and situational awareness capabilities for the prevailing battlefield conditions. Effort will demonstrate the ability of multi/hyperspectral sensing to autonomously identify tactical threats and reduce cognitive workloads through sensor fusion and automated spectral selection.
