DOD, SERVICES PRESS AHEAD WITH CBRN SENSOR DEVELOPMENT FOR UAS

摘要

Officials from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Navy plan next year to field test an experimental sensor for unmanned aerial systems, designed to detect chemical, biological and nuclear threats at standoff ranges.rnField testing for the "Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Sensing Using UAS" program will be part of the second phase of development on the effort, DTRA program manager Alex Park said last week.rnThose live flight tests will be conducted next February and March, with the sensor platform likely mounted on board a "tactical UAV" platform, Park told Inside the Pentagon shortly after an Aug. 13 speech at the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International symposium in Washington.
