Research abstract
OKSI will develop and demonstrate the ARMGDN-I seeker that will integrate with APKWS guidance kit and appropriate warheads for cUAS applications. The ARMGDN-I seeker will leverage an EO/IR sensor combined with state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to automatically detect, track, and provide terminal guidance against various UAS threats. Under this program, we will demonstrate these capabilities at range sites where we will integrate with existing launch platforms, the APKWS system, and selected warhead(s) to prove out this capability to TRL 6.
