Key Details
Official Description
Small UAS (sUAS) pose a threat to both deployed U.S. forces and military bases. Traditional methods for detection, tracking and identification include acoustics, radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) cameras, which tend to be deployed from ground sites [1]. Airborne sensors can supplement these ground systems by providing forward-deployed surveillance and/or terrain relief. Current state-of-the-art (SoA) IRST sensors have been developed for use on large platforms (e.g., fighters, bombers, group...
