Sagittarius Individual Targeting Assistor

 

System Concept and Application Operational and Performance Capabilities - SummaryOn-weapon system tracks and receives support data from C3, Nomad Eyes units planted remotely by warfighters or from weapons-mounted units providing geo, weather, and ballistics data. Modeler integrates with GIS and creates dynamic heads-up display of multiple views (images and text/graphic data) that are deemed relevant for specific warfighter operatives in the field.1280x1024 will be the norm but visibility considerations dictate having switch capability to choose downgrade to 800x600 for some conditions. Graphic indicators show best-fit/choice and alternates by [option] color or size or pattern used. Variation is key to handle different scenarios and background display overlays.Open interface allows accommodating several current off-the-shelf data acquisition streams and future Nomad Eyes units can be optical, chemical, bio or rad sensors reporting in to C3 center or to the weapon unit by secure wireless link.Command unit or individual warfighter selects dynamic display sets of interest and view data on weapon-mounted or [optional] head-mounted displays.

Technical Approach:TETRAD d developed an earlier working field-testable prototype for this in 1999/2000 under a DARPA project. We will converge that technology architecture with new reqs and new h/w and s/w. Our emphasis is on the fault-tolerance and practical use in a rugged warfighter environment and the human-machine interface for intelligent lookahead capability in the system, employing state-of-art GPS, GIS, and WiMax type comms. System will snap in/out from weapons, adjustable positioning, and simple non-disruptive controls. Key is to assist, not burden, the warfighter.

Key point: Multi-modal display is conceptually similar to digital camera focus interfaces, allowing access to detailed quantitative info or targeting graphics that indicate “best shot” positioning and Go/No-Go indicators.

Team includes highly experienced combat personnel (Col. P. Wharton, USA, SOCOM, project lead mentor) and other experienced special ops military and intel bkgnd personnel (Viet Nam, N. Ireland, Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan) who have worked with TETRAD P.I. and tech team on earlier related projects.

The technical approach is led by the operational learned experience from over 38 yrs. by US/NATO/RU experts in ops on five continents.
