Advanced Aerospace Sensors Technology
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates aerospace sensor and processing technologies for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, target, and attack radar applications in both manned and unmanned platforms, including electro-optical sensors and electronic counter-countermeasures for radars. It provides aerospace platforms with the capability to precisely detect, track, and target both airborne (conventional and low radar cross-section) and ground-based, high-value, time-critical targets in adverse clutter and jamming environments. Project activities include developing multi-function radio-frequency systems including radar and electronic warfare technology. Desired warfighting capabilities include the ability to detect concealed targets in difficult background conditions.
