Research abstract
IJK Controls is proposing to deliver SkySpotter, a low-cost, high performance, stabilized imaging system capable of facial identification at long range and performance previously unavailable on small UAS platforms. The SkySpotter offers 10 microradian stabilization and a large aperture size for a modern visible detector. A large field of view camera provides situational awareness, target identification and tracking. All of this is available in a compact, rugged package for use in a tube-launched UAS.
