FCS - Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS)

(7 votes)

The FCS Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) program is divided into two major subgroups of sensing systems: Tactical-UGS (T-UGS), which includes Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)-UGS and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN)-UGS; and Urban-UGS (U-UGS), also known as Urban Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) Advanced Sensor System.

The intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR)-UGS will be modular and composed of tailorable sensor groups using multiple ground-sensing technologies. An Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) field will include low-cost, expendable and multimode sensors for target detection, location and classification; and an imaging capability for target identification. A sensor field will also include a gateway node to provide sensor fusion and long-haul communications capability for transmitting target or other information to a remote operator, or the common operating picture through the FCS Modular Force Network.

The Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) can be used to perform mission tasks such as perimeter defense, surveillance, target acquisition and situational awareness (SA), including Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) early warning.

Urban-Unattended Ground Sensors (U-UGS) will provide a leave-behind, network-enabled reporting system for situational awareness (SA) and force protection in an urban setting, as well as residual protection for cleared areas of Urban Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) environments. They can be hand-employed by Soldiers or robotic vehicles either inside or outside buildings and structures.
