Research abstract
In this proposal we will address two areas where CAS can be greatly improved: friendly fire incidents and improved accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS) guided munitions. Our system (RF Enhancement Kit - REK) will enable access to never before attainable data: real-time, positional and trajectory data of an inbound bomb. REK will use this data for two purposes 1) to establish a safety zone around a given ground position, 2) to automatically correct bomb trajectory in bombs that have movable fins. Energid’s proposed system will revolutionize the effectiveness and efficiency of CAS by virtually ensuring Friendly Fire incidents are eliminated and GPS guided munitions hit closer to their intended target - elevating them from “near-precision†to “precision†status weapons.
