Airborne Weapons Surveillance System (AWSS)
Abstract
AWSS will demonstrate a capability to detect enemy artillery, rocket, and mortar fires, classify those fires, and relay locations of enemy firing units to coalition counter-fire systems. AWSS will use advanced staring non-imaging infra-red wide field-of-view detectors, together with electro-optic video, aboard unmanned air vehicles. The efficiencies of the AWSS system will be the detections of artillery fires at ranges of up to 20 kilometers; the location accuracy of hostile firing units; and the transmission time of hostile fires and hostile firing locations to coalition counter fire units, in efficient machine readable formats. Technical demonstrations will be conducted in Korea using Republic of Korea unmanned air vehicles.
