Civilian media members are captured through the lens of the universalthermal monocular (UTM) during Trident Warrior 2011
Civilian media members are captured through the lens of the universal thermal monocular (UTM) during Trident Warrior 2011, originally uploaded by Official U.S. Navy Imagery.
The UTM™/ StalkIR™ from OASYS Technology, LLC., is the first palm sized 640x480 [307,200 pixel] hybrid thermal mono-sight. Has 4 times the resolution of the typical competitor system [of similar size], dual-band pointing/aiming lasers, and thermal sensitivity exceeding that of many rival systems. With an operational runtime of more than 5.5 hours using (2) DL123 batteries and a system weight of 0.8 lbs the UTM™/ StalkIR™ provides long lived performance in a small lightweight package. The UTM™/ StalkIR™ is easy to use, since it has a simple menu function featuring a single button press allowing for essential operation eliminating the need to remember locations on the device for different functions while operating the system in darkness.

Militaire UAV 2011 03 10 UAV Pterosaur
Anybody missing General Atomics' retiring Predator family of unmanned air vehicles might find solace in a UAV from AVIC. Chinese Pterodactyl UAV looks a lot like the GA-ASI Reaper MQ9. Appears to have a satellite dish for communications, as well as weapons and a fairly sophisticated GCS. The Chinese aerospace corporation is displaying a small model of the distinctly Predator-like Wing-Loong, which it describes as a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) vehicle with autonomous take-off and landing capability and the ability to carry "small-sized air-to-ground strike weapons" at the Paris Air Show. The Wing-Loong is within a few millimetres in any direction of the Predator A. It has a 14m (46ft) wingspan, 9m length and a maximum take-off weight of 1,100kg (2,420lb), but it boasts the good looks of the larger Predator B's V-shaped rear end. It has ceiling of 16,400ft and a range of 2,160nm (4,000km), said AVIC.

DARPA tries to automate marching orders for unmanned vehicles
ISR is important, and tasking them and bringing all the sensor data together is key. In order to do this, the military imposes standards to make the pieces fit together more easily. This was the concept behind the Tactical Data Links (TADILS) and NGA Common imagery formats.

Automated Multi-Camera Vehicle ID System
ALPR Automated Vehicle License Plate Recognition Identification system -Those Canadians are smart, eh!? Of course it is not a radar but a multi-camera system with OCR and pattern recognition for vehicle identification and classification. Similar to technology used in red light cameras and automated toll systems such as the bay area fastrak. I wonder if it can tell if the vehicle has stolen plates which don't match the vehicle, or the registration has expired.
