Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command has received the first two Kestrel wide-area persistent surveillance systems from Logos Technologies.
The Kestrel system is an aerostat-based, 360-degree, motion-imagery system continuously covering an expansive area consistent with airborne platforms.
The systems are being added as payloads to the Persistent Threat Detection System and Persistent Ground Surveillance System aerostats.
Logos said Kestrel features multiple viewer windows, watch-box trigger alerts, digital zoom and sensor cross-cueing to track and locate activities of interest, thus increasing forward operating base protection and ISR support to forward deployed units.
"It is deeply satisfying to provide the power of Kestrel's persistent surveillance solution to our war fighters," said Logos Program Manager David Luber. "This is going to explosively expand the soldier's situational awareness of the activity surrounding the FOB."
The Kestrel 360-degree sensor and companion ground processing station have been integrated with the PTDS aerostat command center and will be deployed to theater in late summer.
Logos Technologies is developing EO/IR Kestrel systems, which will be delivered to NAVAIR in the fall.
