QinetiQ Works With U.S. Army on New Long-Range Sensor System
New system aims to improve target detection and support Army modernization goals
QinetiQ US is helping the U.S. Army develop a new sensor system called the Future Advanced Long-range Common Optical/Netted-fires Sensor (FALCONS).
This system will replace the Army’s current Long-Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) and is designed to detect and identify targets from farther distances, even in bad weather.
The FALCONS system will help the Army find targets beyond the range of enemy weapons, improving battlefield awareness as part of the Army’s modernization plans for 2030 and beyond.
The new system will use artificial intelligence (AI) and could include semi-autonomous features to reduce the work soldiers need to do while improving accuracy in finding and identifying targets. QinetiQ US will also focus on making sure the system works smoothly with other battlefield technologies.
