Gorgon StarePersistent Wide-Area Airborne Surveillance (WASS) System

Gorgon Stare (GS) is a one-of-a-kind Persistent Wide-Area Airborne Surveillance (WAAS)

System. A Multi-Mission/Multi-Mode Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)

platform with a unique Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) toolset providing wide-area (city-sized),

continuous stare coverage. Currently fielded on an unmanned aerial system, GS feeds

simultaneous reports to multiple individual independent taskings. Specifically tailored for ISR

operations in forward tactical areas, GS can provide a wide-area overwatch with ten (10)focused video feeds sent directly to individual users on the ground. The sensor is packaged in

a turret maximizing the overall ISR imaging capability in a networked imagery distribution

system. High resolution, real-time motion video of activities of interest are collected to supply

Pattern-of-Life and Post-Event Forensics.
