Next-Generation Sensors/ASI

Abstract

The Next Generation Sensors (NGS) project is developing, demonstrating, and maturing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor suites in a platform agnostic environment. Designated as a Middle Tier Acquisition, Section 804 effort, these sensor suites will include open architectures to further enable platform mobility and tech refresh as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to enable assisted target detection and identification. Efforts include but are not limited to, Triple Raven multi-GEOINT High Altitude Advanced Technology Demonstration, multi-INT Common Open Architecture Reconnaissance Program Standard (MI-COARPS), Assisted Target Recognition for ISR (ATRI), and radar open architecture development in support of ASARS-2B/2C. NGS program efforts are set by capabilities gaps within the Challenging Targets Initial Capabilities Document and as approved by the Capabilities Decision Memorandum (Signed Jan 2019). These requirements have been further verified, modeled, and developed through the Airborne Sensors for ISR (ASI) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and the Triple Raven ATD, which was approved by the Advanced Technology Council (ATC) in FY19. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver technology and sensor capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
