multispectral UAV sensor payloads mines PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Electro-optics experts at Arete Associates in Tucson, Ariz., are moving forward on a project to design multispectral UAV sensor payloads to help military unmanned helicopters detect and pinpoint mines and obstacles in beach surf zones to help keep Marines safe during amphibious attacks.
Officials of the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division in Panama City, Fla., announced an $8.5 million order to Arete last Thursday to build AN/DVS-1 Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA) block 1 subassemblies to support the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS mine-countermeasures mission.
