The first planned deployment will involve the MQ-1C Gray Eagle UAV, but the system is adaptable to other manned and unmanned aerial platforms.

Land-based electronic warfare systems and small systems for smaller platforms such as UAVs are becoming popular.

A British forward air controller used FireStorm to guide an F-35 during a ground test and a live flight.

The detector was demonstrated with an ultra-high resolution 1280×1024 thermal camera.

Systems currently available for chemical weapons detection are typically large and costly, according to DARPA.

The one-year task order calls for ESN to coordinate the installation of systems on aircraft carriers and L-class ships.

The study attributes the surge to LIDAR expanding into new fields such as driver assistance systems.

DRS will supply equipment for the Navy’s technology insertion hardware program (TIH), which provides upgrades for combat control and sonar systems.

The five year IDIQ is for the Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits program.

The prototype controller is designed to process information from the multiple sensors and self-defense systems that protect ground vehicles from threats.
