Advanced Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI)
Abstract
The Advanced Wide Area Motion Imagery project developed and demonstrated a reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP), day/night WAMI capability that is compatible with multiple manned and unmanned platforms across the Department of Defense (DoD). The advanced WAMI project developed the overall system design in FY 2017 completing both the preliminary design review (PDR) and critical design review (CDR) milestones. Using FY 2017 funds, work continues in FY 2018 to complete the prototype unit and conduct flight testing on a surrogate platform for U.S. Southern Command. After successful testing, the sensor prototype will transition to U.S. Army Special Operations Command for integration with fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles.
