Leidos eyes networked sensors to detect and attack high-value targets

摘要

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio - U.S. military researchers are working with Leidos Inc. in Reston, Va., on a secretive networked sensors and signal-processing project to speed the detection and targeting of enemy high-priority targets. Officials of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, have announced a $3 million contract to Leidos for the Military Tactical Means (MTM) project. Details and specifications of the MTM project are classified, but it seeks to design advanced sensing and auto- mated signal processing of remotely sensed data for detection, classification, and geolocation of adversary military equipment on the battlefield.
