Close Access Target Reconnaissance (CATR)

Abstract

CATR is a kit of electronic devices that acquires, collects, and transmits data to provide near real time feedback in order to validate, follow, locate, or track a target (.e., tagging, tracking, and locating (TTL)). Using electronic audio and/or video recorders, information obtained will validate movement and identify targets. In addition, threat monitoring 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. CATR has been fielded since 2005 as a Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) program. FY 2018 Base development dollars - There is no funding in FY 2018.
