NIGHT VISION, ABN SYS

Abstract

This project matures and demonstrates intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and pilotage technologies in support of the Army's aviation and networked systems. This effort focuses on improved reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition and night pilotage sensors, high-resolution heads-up displays, sensor fusion, and aided target recognition (AiTR) capabilities for attack, scout, cargo, and utility helicopters and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). UAS payload efforts mature and demonstrate small, lightweight, modular, payloads (electro-optical/infrared, laser radar, designator) to support target detection, identification, location, tracking, and targeting of tactical targets for the Brigade Combat Team. The project supports Army science and technology efforts for the Air and Command Control and Communications portfolios. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM)/Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC) /Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Fort Belvoir, VA.
