Surveillance System Progress
- Effectively profiles and detects military targets on land
- Supports imagery intelligence (IMINT) and measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT)
- Converted to net-centric sensor system
- Integrates air, water and ground truthing sensors
- Wide area point-to-multipoint cellular network
- Common Observations Standards and compliant visualization clients (web and stand alone)
- Single database
- Supports cost effective commercial off-the-shelf equipment
- Benefits civilian and military to minimize taxpayer dollars
- Creates multiple commercial and educational opportunities (280 engineers trained on HSI Hardware/Software Analysis Tools)
- Measures depth and thickness of vegetation including algal species.
