High-Altitude Optical Reconnaissance Unit and Sensor (HORUS)
Abstract
HORUS is a prototype electro-optical/infrared system incorporating a modular open system architecture to provide an adaptable and evolvable capability. The HORUS prototype supports day or night operations providing multi-spectral, high-definition full motion video from extreme slant ranges. In FY 2021, fabrication of the two prototype HORUS units started. Work continues in FY 2022 using FY 2021 funds to complete prototype fabrication and testing prior to transitioning to U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for final evaluation and operational use.
