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

Abstract

Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System - Expeditionary (GBOSS-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. GBOSS-E will replace obsolete, quick reaction capability (QRC) surveillance and force protections systems utilizing modular configurations: Light variant (man transportable/detachable) for extra small base camps or small outpost/company, Medium variant (mid sensor height) for small to medium size base, and Heavy variant (high level sensor height) for large contingency base camps. GBOSS-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 2020 Base Funding in the amount of $3.847 million supports the continued development efforts for GBOSS-E to include the Technical Data Package (TDP) and Product Support Analysis for all system configurations. This funding also supports acquisition of Engineering Development Models. In addition, funding supports Developmental Testing, Limited User Testing (LUT) and program management activities.
