MCKINNEY, Texas, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) and Logos Technologies are partnering to
provide advanced multi-intelligence, or multi-INT, sensor systems
to address challenging intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance, or ISR, requirements. Raytheon's
high-definition Multi-Spectral Targeting System, or MTS™, and
Logos' wide-area motion imagery, or WAMI, technology will be
integrated into a modular, lightweight sensor system suitable for a
wide range of platforms.
This new multi-INT sensor system will support multiple sensor
types, depending on customer size and weight requirements,
including WAMI, multispectral full-motion video or FMV,
hyperspectral imaging, light detection and ranging, and signals
intelligence. The new sensor system will allow military ISR
operators to use multi-sensor data to detect, recognize and
identify hard-to-find targets across wide areas and in near-real
time without extensive post-mission processing.
"Combining high-resolution FMV, wide-area motion ISR and other
sensor modalities delivers an unparalleled advantage in real-time
processing and data exploitation," said Fred Darlington, vice president of Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems at Raytheon's Space and
Airborne Systems.
First used by U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, WAMI technology was recently
deployed to help protect crowds at the 2016 Summer Olympics. "WAMI
provides the ability to monitor an entire city-sized area at once,"
said John Marion, president of Logos
Technologies. "You can track—from the air and in near-real
time—multiple suspects scattering in different directions and see
where they're going, who they meet up with and where they've
been."
Because multi-INT means more combined intelligence data, it
increases confidence of target detection and real-time, actionable
battlespace awareness. Multi-INT technology, built on an open,
scalable framework, can be deployed on existing platforms or
positioned for next-generation platforms.
