Wide Focal Plane Array Camera (WFPAC)

Abstract

Program completed development, testing, integration and initial procurement of a WFPAC sensor for the RQ-7 Shadow Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in support of OEF - Afghanistan. The Office of Naval Research is leading the development and funding the low rate initial procurement. These funds support the test and integration efforts for the Marine Corps Shadow systems. The WFPAC sensor enhancement addresses the Marine Expeditionary Brigade's near-term organic persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance requirement in Afghanistan as well as providing an enduring capability in a reduced form factor tactical UAS sensor.
