MEDUSA Sensor Integration

MEDUSA Sensor Integration

 

The MEDUSA program develops airborne equipment to collect MWIR reflectivity measurements using an active source, develop a user friendly database for modelers to access the MWIR reflectivity data, collect MWIR and associated measurements of natural, man-made, and calibration targets. This project is supported by the DARPA program.

 

Project Highlights

The MEDUSA program successfully completed tower testing this year that validated the basic feasibility of proactively detecting and  eolocating the tell-tale signature from an electro-optic tracking sensor of the surface-to-air missile system or the reticule itself.

 

Future Endeavors

Work beyond the tower system continues with the further development of key enabling component technologies such as large format IR focal 9 plane arrays which are needed to support operations from a variety of airborne platforms.
