Wide-area Infrared System for 360-degree Persistent Surveillance - Spiral-2 (WISP-2)
Abstract
The WISP-2 system uses passive infrared imagery to detect and track moving air and ground targets within the sensor’s range and field-of-view. WISP-2 was developed for Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (CUAS), but has broad applicability for use against other air and ground targets of interest. WISP-2 technology is enabled by infrared digital-pixel focal plane array (DFPA) and real-time processing algorithms and software. The advanced processing algorithms automatically adapt to the scene and detect the presence of moving objects in the surroundings. WISP 2.0 was successfully demonstrated and operationally fielded in the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility as a solution to a Joint Urgent Operational Need.
