Raytheon, Logos Technologies teaming up on multi-intelligence sensor system

Raytheon and Logos Technologies announced a partnership that will see the companies integrate their Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) and wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) technologies to better serve intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) requirements.

"WAMI provides the ability to monitor an entire city-sized area at once," Logos Technologies President John Marion said. "You can track, from the air and in near-real time, multiple suspects scattering in different directions and see where they're going, who they meet up with and where they've been."

Logos’ WAMI technology will be integrated with Raytheon’s MTS technology, creating a multi-intelligence sensor system that allows military ISR operators to better detect, recognize and identify targets. The system will support a range of sensor types based on customer needs, including WAMI, multispectral full-motion video (FMV), hyperspectral imaging, light detection and ranging and signals intelligence. The combined information provided by these sensors will allow operators to better monitor wide areas in near-real time and eliminate the need for extensive post-mission processing.

"Combining high-resolution FMV, wide-area motion ISR and other sensor modalities delivers an unparalleled advantage in real-time processing and data exploitation," Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems Vice President of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems Fred Darlington said.
