The technical objectives of this effort are to develop low cost sensor packages optimized for three types of unmanned platforms: UGVs, SUAVs and UGS. Additional goals are to develop robust communications to network these sensor systems throughout complex terrain, develop command and control software tools to incldue mission planning, monitoring, dynamic re-planning, sensor planning and management functions; and to demonstrate a system-of-systems capability when fusing information from these various unmanned sensor systems. These capabilities provide the battlefield commander organic unmanned sensor network assets to compelte his Battlespace Situational Awareness picture for targeting, direct and indirect-fire weapons, and threat avoidance. The networked sensors will provide remote monitoring of areas of interest out to approximately 10km not covered by higher echelon surveillance assets and without placing soldiers in harm's way, will increase unit areas of coverage and will provide near real time BSA and targeting data for early warning to speed decision making and reaction time.
