Research abstract
The goal of this Phase II program is to produce a conceptual system design for passive EO and IR sensors, hosted by High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAVs such as GLOBAL HAWK, for the purpose of maritime ISR. An initial conceptual design would beproduced during the baseline program. Under the Phase II option, if funded, a refined conceptual design would be produced. The Phase II program would produce a system design concept crucial to the development of a new Naval capability. Potential commercialapplications include search and rescue as well as oil slick detection and source localization.
