Highly Automated Swarm of Affordable ISR Long Endurance UAVs for force protection
The project “Highly Automated Swarm of Affordable ISR Long Endurance UAVs for force protection” (ALTISS) will be based on innovative solutions for communication and flight management, enhanced image processing algorithms for light UAV and automated event detection, and enhanced SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) sensors to detect and localise radio emitters and merge info with image processing to improve the identification of targets. It is an innovative solution that will improve force protection while decreasing collateral damages and logistic footprint.
Goal
The objective is to increase air observation coverage capacity through an affordable permanent detection of crossing events on a linear surface 10 km x 500 km wide when the others rare and expensive air observation assets are unavailable, either dedicated to more critical mission or too expensive to be acquired by governments.
