"Radar and Imaging for the Land/Littoral Environment"
....The RIFL2E TDP will demonstrate the technical feasibility and operational utility of advanced and responsive networked airborne ISR in support of joint commanders in the contexts of Afghanistan counter-insurgency/counter terrorism, disaster relief and Canadian domestic sovereignty (e.g. maritime and Arctic). It will provide the Canadian Forces (CF) with the means to bridge the final technology gaps that exist in providing the right sensor information off the aircraft to the Land and Maritime forces by demonstrating sensor operation integrated with information management and Beyond Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) communications. Implementing satellite communications (SatCom) for dissemination of wideband ISR data is one of the key objectives of the RIFL2E TDP....

"GUIDANCE AND CONTROL OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAV)"
....The purpose of this contract is to support DRDC Valcartier by carrying out various tasks in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) guidance and control. The tasks to be carried out are grouped under different subjects: UAV shipboard recovery, stationary and non-stationary flight of small semi-autonomous aircraft, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation using an MP2128 autopilot, HIL simulation using a commercial inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a real actuator system, and flight testing of a small quad-rotor aerial vehicle....

"Improvement and Implementation of the ALERT-TDP ATC application in the portable EO surveillance system"
....In "Portable EO Surveillance System with Auto-Targeting Capabilities" project, we are developing a prototype, multi-function, portable system for long-wave infrared (LWIR) surveillance with auto target cueing capability. As a portable system, this system provides dispersed and dismounted auto targeting capability. It could facilitate surveillance missions of soldiers at observation posts or cue command post on target information as man-operated or unattended system.The system could be divided into two main parts (1) electro-optical (EO) system and (2) image processing unit, as shown in figure 1. The EO system consists of two uncooled LWIR microbolometer focal plane arrays (FPAs) for one wide field-of-view (FOV) and one narrow FOV channels. Besides the imaging unit, A laser range finder, electronic compass and GPS module were integrated to the EO system for additional target information. The EO system will use BA5590 LiSO2 battery or similar for dismounted mission. A dc power input is also available. The EO system unit will be mounted on a tripod to where two angle encoders were integrated to track azimuth and elevation of the EO system. IR digital video and other information are sent to a laptop computer through a cable. Video processing on target cueing, and camera and peripherals setting and control will be carried by the laptop computer. The digital video data will be stored in shared memory so that the auto target cueing algorithm will have access
to it....
