Wide-Area Infrared System for Persistent-Surveillance (WISP)
Abstract
The effort will enable night capable persistent day or night surveillance over large areas. WISP produces nearly a full hemisphere (100 x 360 degrees) infrared image every 1.5 seconds. Unlike still cameras using fish-eye lenses, WISP scans the field quickly to produce very high resolution and low noise data over the entire scene. Operating in the longwave infrared (LWIR) spectrum, WISP can operate day or night without loss of performance.
