Subterranean OperationsNew Focus Area

Scope: Tunnels, cave complexes and underground voids represent an asymmetric threat as avenues of approach. Develop capabilities to detect, locate, surveil and disrupt subterranean operations in semi-permissive and non-permissive environments, allowing tactical forces to conduct operations. Develop novel methods to allow operators to exploit subterranean operations and illuminate hostile and/or criminal networks.

Program Areas
Detect/Characterize
Survey/Monitor
Exploit/Maneuver
Interdict
Neutralize/Destruct/Remediate
Prevent/Protect
Highlights

• TSWG-wide thrust

• International significance and knowledge base

• Focus beyond detection for operational relevance

FY 2010 Requirement
R2512
Ultra-High Resolution Surveillance System

• Wide-area video coverage

• 180 degree field-of-view

• Four pinpoint areas of interest chosen by the operator while maintaining panoramic display

• Target motion-detection and tracking options
