Advanced Sensors for Precision
Abstract
This effort matures and demonstrates technologies that allow combat vehicle commanders and crewmen to detect more rapidly, identify and geo-locate threat targets to enable fire control for platform weaponry. The effort leverages advanced Infrared (IR) imaging technology, 3-Dimensional (3D) imaging sensor techniques, emerging multispectral laser technologies and precise far target location technology to increase target detection range, extended target and reduce target acquisition timelines. This effort supports the Army's Active Protection System (APS) program to mature and demonstrate APS technologies to reduce vehicle weight while reducing reliance on armor through the use of other means such as sensing, warning, hostile fire detection, and active countermeasures to achieve increased protection against current and emerging threats.
