Next-Generation Sensors
Abstract
The Next Generation Sensors (NGS) program seeks to change the paradigm of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor acquisitions to deliver mission critical technology more quickly and cost effectively. NGS is a platform-agnostic suite of sensors defined for the best flexibility and capability for an ever-changing scale of ISR missions. Designated as a Middle Tier Acquisition, Section 804 program of record, the power behind the NGS program is an open architectural system design that enables individual sensor upgrades and enhancements and mission-specific mode and algorithm application, establishing a path to on-board multimodal and multi-INT processing, sensor cross-cueing, and artificial intelligence application. NGS efforts include, but are not limited to: Triple Raven multi-GEOINT Advance Technology Demonstration (ATD), multi-INT Common Open Architecture Reconnaissance Programs Standard (MI-COARPS), Raging Parakeet JCTD, Assisted Target Recognition for ISR (ATRI). Additionally, with the creation and maturation of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), the multi-INT efforts will also be integrated and executed using the openIntONE product line under Sensor Integration category within ABMS. ABMS/openIntONE mission and funding is dedicated to integrating PoR capabilities into ABMS On Ramps, then those ABMS fused efforts will then be transitioned back to the PoR to sustain and field. Next Generation Sensors (NGS) PoR is specifically tied to the openIntONE product line and supporting its directives. NGS program efforts are set by capability 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.
