U.S. Air Force Sets Fall Debut for Gorgon Stare Camera System

摘要

Gorgon Stare, the wide-area camera system the U.S. Air Force says will revolutionize the way troops receive imagery, won't arrive in Afghanistan until the fall.rnThe first versions of the 500-kilogram sensor were scheduled to be flown aboard MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles starting this summer. However, problems arose in testing, said Lt. Gen. David Deptula, Air Force deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
