ABLE System Description.

Abstract

This document provides an overview of the ABLE system, its mission, key components and an intended operational philosophy. The intent of this description is to enable the reader to gain a top level understanding of what ABLE is and how it may be used. The Advanced Building block for Large Area Exploitation (ABLE-1) is the integration of modern state-of-the-art digital radar exploitation concepts into a single system. ABLE demonstrates the increased throughput and responsiveness which digital technology allows and provides a number of previously unrealized operational advantages. These include the ability to support near-continuous surveillance of the battlefield, to respond to tasking changes in the near real-time, to utilize multiple intelligence sources to direct exploitation, and to rapidly exploit and report targets.
