INDIANAPOLIS, May 30 (UPI) -- Canada's army has viewed a new intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system designed for its Light Armored Vehicle-III upgrade program.
The Light Armored Vehicle Reconnaissance Surveillance System prototype by Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC was displayed in Ottawa.
"Raytheon believes that on-the-move reconnaissance and surveillance is a game changer for the Canadian army," said Rudolph Lewis, RTSC Depot Support Systems product line director.
"This, coupled with the ability to conduct on-board imagery exploitation and to receive auto-cueing information from unmanned aerial vehicles and unattended ground sensors, provides the Canadian army with unprecedented mission flexibility."
Raytheon said its LRSS, designed specifically to fit into Canada's LAVs, acts as a "smart node" in the overall Canadian Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance enterprise by working with sensors from unmanned aerial vehicles and unattended ground sensors. It does so through the use of LAV-III-mounted and dismounted tripods.
SRI Sarnoff has provided 3-D immersive situational awareness and Command, Control, Communication and Computers ISR technologies for the LRSS, Raytheon added.
