Enhanced Optics for Long Range Targeting

Abstract

This effort will deliver advanced airborne optics and reconfigurable filtering devices to enable agile, multi-task sensors for compact, long-range targeting, enhanced survivability and lethality of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and Future Unmanned Aircraft System (FUAS). This effort will restore visual overmatch in any (day/night) environment through visual penetration of all obscurants (e.g. brownout, white out, engineered smokescreens) from a single sensor, as well as narrowband filtering for active imaging through obscurants while maintaining advanced target acquisition. Improved detection and identification and long range target acquisition capability will result from filtering out scattered light and enabling 3-dimensional ranging through environmental obscurants.
