Raytheon and Logos collaborate on Multi-intelligence sensors

Raytheon Company and Logos Technologies are partnering to provide advanced multi-intelligence, or multi-INT, sensor systems to address intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR, requirements. Raytheon’s Multi-Spectral Targeting System, or MTS™, and Logos’ wide-area motion imagery, or WAMI, technology will be integrated into a modular, lightweight sensor system suitable for a wide range of platforms.

When operated in collaboration with MTS, the WAMI sensor can detect, track and cross-cue multiple vehicles and dismounts moving over an entire city-sized area providing unprecedented elements of situational awareness for the combined Raytheon/Logos multi-INT system.

This new multi-INT sensor system will support multiple sensor types, depending on customer size and weight requirements, including WAMI, multispectral full-motion video or FMV, hyperspectral imaging, light detection and ranging, and signals intelligence. The new sensor system will allow military ISR operators to use multi-sensor data to detect, recognize and identify hard-to-find targets across wide areas and in near-real time without extensive post-mission processing.

First used by U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, WAMI technology was recently deployed to help protect crowds at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
