Persistent surveillance with UAV-mounted infrared sensors is goal of DARPA ARGUS-IR program

摘要

Scientists at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., are asking industry to develop staring infrared sensors able to provide long-term persistent surveillance from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).rnThe program is called Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance-Infrared (ARGUS-IR; DARPA-BAA-10-02) for persistent wide-area, high-resolution infrared surveillance. The ARGUS-IR system will combine sensor and sensor-processing subsystems to produce high-resolution video streams.
