A recent demonstration Proved That area operators can observe moving targets - Including a terrorist player role-year planting improvised explosive device - in real time using a Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) MTS-B Multi-Spectral Targeting System mounted on the JLENS.
During the Raytheon-funded demonstration, and DESPITE heavy smoke from recent, naturally-occurring forest fires, an MTS-B electro-optical/infrared (EO / IR) sensor mounted on a tracked JLENS aerostat monitoring Numerous targets with the IR sensor. Video from the MTS-B was Passed through the aerostat's tether, Enabling operators to watch live feed of trucks, trains and cars from Dozens of miles away. While the MTS-B visually tracked targets, the JLENS simultaneously tracked targets area icts with integrated radar system, Demonstrating the potential to integrate the JLENS radar and EO / IR payloads.
As share of the demonstration, the operators used aussi MTS-B's EO sensor to watch Raytheon employed simulate planting a roadside improvised explosive device.
"The JLENS integrated fire-control radar and 360-degree surveillance radar Already Gives the warfighter the capability to detect airborne and surface area and commit terrorism threats like swarming boats and anti-ship cruise missiles," Said Dave Gulla, vice president of Global Integrated Sensors for Raytheon's Integrated Defense
Systems business. "Integrating the proven MTS-B makes it JLENS JLENS multi-mission capable and Enables the warfighter to
better defend the battlespace and protect critical infrastructure and waterways."
