Airborne Video SurveillanceNew Tactical UAV Missions

• MOUT - Military Operations in Urban Terrain

  • Theater sensors limited by masking
  • Precision location critical
  • Dispersed lines of sight common
  • Multiple human & vehicular activities

• Force Protection/Countermine

  • Protect fixed assets from enemy intrusion
  • Long duration (boring) activity
  • Example: protect airfield perimeter from enemy
    mine laying operations
  • Activity recognition and tracking crucial

• Precision Targeting

  • Evolution: 80m => 50m => 20m
  • Minimize collateral damage, especially in
    built up areas
  • Sensor only solutions becoming very expensive

New UAV missions challenge today’s sensor & processor technology
