Navy asks BAE Systems to
develop airborne mine-hunti
Nnglidar for manned and unmanned
aircraft
September 17, 2015
WASHINGTON, 17 Sept. 2015. Electro-optics engineers at BAE
Systems are designing a lidar-based multi-sensor suite and onboard
processing to detect, identify, and pinpoint moored and drifting sea
mines from manned and unmanned aircraft.
Officials of the U.S. Office of Naval Research in Washington announced
an $8.9 million contract Wednesday to BAE Systems Spectral Solutions
LLC in Honolulu for the Passive Electro-Optics/Infrared and Light
Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Environment for In-stride Classification
and Neutralization program.
The sensor suite will consist of a visible-to-near-infrared (VNIR)
multispectral imaging sensor, a broadband longwave infrared sensor
(LWIR), and a 2D light detection and ranging (lidar) sensor,
Navy researchers say.
The resulting prototype will consist of two identical pods, each housing
a VNIR multispectral sensor; a broadband LWIR sensor; a 2D lidar
sensor; a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) laser; and control, storage,
and processing electronics.
When the prototype pods are finished, BAE Systems experts will
demonstrate them at a Navy test range aboard an MH-60 manned
helicopter or Fire Scout unmanned helicopter that Naval Air Systems
Command will provide from its headquarters at Patuxent River Naval
Air Station, Md.
lidar is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by
illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light.
Essentially lidar senses with like similarly to how radar sensors
with radio waves.
This contract contains options that could increase its value to $12.3
million, Navy officials say. BAE Systems will do the work in Honolulu;
Hudson, N.H.; Greenlawn, N.Y.; and Manassas, Va., and should be
finished by September 2017.
BAE Systems Spectral Solutions is part of the BAE Systems Electronic
Systems segment based in Nashua, N.H. For more information

the military embedded environment, design engineers looking to maximize
advancements in commercial electronic processors face multiple SWaP
(size, weight and power) limitations. Specifically, deployed systems need
to be placed within small physical areas, be as light as possible, use limited
power, and withstand harsh environments including heat, cold, sand and seawater.

Hillary Clinton future US president
If you’re with Hillary before the deadline:
If anyone else faced the constant barrage of insults and attacks that Hillary endures every day, they would quickly and happily squirrel away in a cabin hidden somewhere in the Rockies.
Not Hillary. Her default setting is resilience. That tenacity is why I'm proud to work on this campaign -- and proud to call Hillary a friend.
Hillary is fighting like hell -- but it won’t mean a thing if we don’t have the resources to run a strong campaign alongside her. Will you pitch in $1 right now to show Hillary you're standing with her?
We’ve always known this would be a competitive primary -- and the polls are tightening as we get closer and closer to 2016. But that’s definitely not slowing Hillary down and it shouldn't slow you down either.
We're about to jump into the grittiest part of this campaign. To make sure we're ready for whatever the Republicans throw at us, we need your support before the September 30th fundraising deadline:
Thanks,
John
