Persistent Surveillance
Wide Aerial Persistent Surveillance for IED Detection and Homeland Security using Direct Geo-Referenced Airborne Imagery
ITT Space Systems Division and Geospatial Systems Inc. are currently developing an Electro-Optical Wide Area Persistent Surveillance System for Improvised Explosive Detection (IED), Homeland Security and Wide Area Event Surveillance. This is the first scalable Aerial Camera System with the capability to produce up to an 864 mega-pixel direct geo-referenced image in real-time. This system provides a very large Field of View to cover a large metropolitan size city in a single series of captures. Effective Ground Sampled Distance (GSD) is below 1-meter from above 15,000ft AGL. The system provides the ability for real-time tactical downloading with on board JPEG2000 hardware compression from the Air Platform and full on board storage for forensic analysis.
