agent portable surveillance system (apss) - DRS Technologies

Exceptional Portablility Combined With Unsurpassed SurveillanceAGENT PORTABLE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (APSS)APSS is a portable element of the Distant Sentry family ofsurveillance systems providing a robust, flexible, and modularapproach to force protection and border security. Through theintegration of GOTS/COTS technologies on a Service OrientedSituational Awarness (SA) display, the system supports amyriad of sensors and features to address all types of land andcoastal surveillance missions. With a change of the sensorsand adjustments to the CONOPS, the system addresses forceprotection and critical infrastructure protection for maximumflexibility.The APSS solution is a man-portable platform that can be set upin less than 10 minutes and is designed to ensure continuousborder surveillance. The border configuration incorporates therugged Manportable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar(MSTAR V6) and WatchMaster Pro+ EO/IR camera connected toa ruggedized laptop computer running DRS' Common InformationBased Awareness (CIBA) C2/SA software system. CIBA softwareprovides an intuitive operator display that simplifies the radar andcamera calibration, helps establish fields of regard, and performscamera slewing to radar targets. The system is powered byfuel cell technology that is housed in rugged transit cases forcontinuous 24x7 operation.Distant Sentry SA is a user friendly “C2 Display” with robustfeatures to manage and minimize operator workload. The C2interface incorporates tools that assist operators in detectingand classifying targets with decision aids to support responseand reduce reaction time. The system features an ApplicationProgramming Interface (API) and XML features supportingstraight forward integration with IP systems and alternativeCommon Operating Pictures (COP) applications.The entire APSS is contained infour rugged transit cases, which areeasily loaded in a light truck or SUV.Cleared for Public Release - DRS TCO Dated 02 May 2013.

SYSTEM FEATURESOpen Architecture:Smart Sensor Suite:C2 InterfaceSensor ManagementTools:Local & Remote Control:Scalability:SYSTEM BENEFITSAllows new and existing COTS sensorsand equipment to be easily integratedinto the system for varying missions.Radar and EO/IR cameras operatein harsh maritime and landenvironments while performingdetection and target identification atranges exceeding 10 KM both dayand night.User friendly interface, with auto-slewfunctions, alert boxes and decisionaid tools help in optimizing detectionsand reducing operator workload.Allows users to accurately placeradars and cameras and establisha field of regard with drag and dropfunctionality. A user friendly interfaceaccelerates setting up trip wires,elevations, ranges, and detectionmodes.Communication options for local andremote operation.Modular and expandable designsupports system enhancementsand expanded sensors.
