Close Access Target Reconnaissance (CATR)

Abstract

CATR is a kit of electronic devices that collect, send back, and acquire data to provide near real time feedback in order to validate, follow, locate, or track a target (i.e., tagging, tracking, and locating (TTL)). CATR will use electronic audio and/or video recorders to obtain information which is used to validate movement and identify targets. In addition, CATR allows for threat monitoring that can be integrated into existing operational tools, help to paint a clearer picture of the battlefield, pinpoint possible target locations, and identify and exploit enemy movements and patterns. FY 2016 base development dollars in the amount of $1.656 million is for the preparation for post-Milestone C/Fielding decision and a Limited User Test (LUT).
