SIS ins $24 million contract for USV sensors
Spatial Integrated Systems to provide 3D imaging technology for the Navy’s Autonomous Maritime Navigation Program; Technology Solutions joins various universities to lend a hand
Rockville, Maryland-based Spatial Integrated Systems (SIS) has won a four-year, $24 million contract to provide 3D imaging technology for the Navy’s Autonomous Maritime Navigation (AMN) Program. Intended to be used on Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), SIS will “integrate and outfit an unmanned platform with sensor fusion, advanced decision-making, data interpretation, and object recognition solutions to allow the autonomous operation in a specified area.” The Multi-Platform Sensor System (MPSS) includes a camera array, radar, sonar, GPS, compass and digital charts — all in order to allow the USV to handle information beyond the limits reachable by the human sensory system.
Working with SIS include Charleston, West Virginia-based Technology Solutions, West Virginia Institute of Technology, Marshall University, and the Tuscon, Arizona-based Technology, Research, Development and Education Institution.
