Congressional Adds
Abstract
COBRA conducts Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR/T). This system, which consists of two COBRA Airborne Payloads (CAPS) and one Post Mission Analysis (PMA) station, provides Coastal Mine Reconnaissance (CMR) capability. Block I is a multispectral sensor capable of daytime detection of surface-laid minefields and obstacles in the Beach Zone (BZ) and has on-board real-time processing. Block II capability adds an active illuminator sensor that enables nighttime detection of mines and obstacles in the BZ and the Surf Zone (SZ) (0-10 ft of water). COBRA consists of a modular payload architecture that is integrated onto the MQ-8 Fire Scout, other vessels of opportunity, and in its expeditionary configuration, from the shore. COBRA will serve in the CMR mission module for the SZ and BZ in the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package. FY20 Congressional increase of $2.894M to support acceleration of the COBRA program.
