Grnd-Based Opnl Surv Sys -Exped (GBOSS-E)

Abstract

Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (Expeditionary) (G-BOSS(E)) will replace the interim Persistent Surveillance System-Ground (PSS-G) Increment 1 towers with improved persistent surveillance capabilities and will provide network integration and better mobility utilizing modular configurations. G-BOSS(E) will replace obsolete, quick reaction capability (QRC) surveillance and force protections systems utilizing modular configurations: Light (man-transportable) for extra small base camps or small outpost/company, Medium (mid sensor height) for small to medium size base, and Heavy (high level sensor height) for large contingency base camps. G-BOSS(E) will operate in a stand-alone mode or as part of an integrated network utilizing government owned software, be easily operated and maintained, and be rugged enough to support employment in expeditionary operations worldwide. FY 2017 Base Funding in the amount of $5.032 million supports the system level Critical Design Review (CDR), development and integration for both medium and heavy variants, and the production of the Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) assets (production representative articles) for both the Heavy and Medium variants. The RDTE will support the completion of the Technical Data Package (TDP) and Product Support Analysis and Package for all system configurations, as well as the Developmental Testing (DT)/early Operational Assessment (OA) for a single system variant.
