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 pilotage sensors, high-resolution heads-up displays, sensor fusion, and aided target recognition (AiTR) capabilities for Army vertical lift aircraft, utility helicopters and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in day/night, obscured, smoke, adverse weather and other degraded visual environment. 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 cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602211A (Aviation Technology) and PE 0603003A (Aviation Advanced Technology). Work in this Project is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC) /Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Fort Belvoir, VA.
