Raytheon BBN Technologies

Raytheon BBN Technologies Sensor Systems participated on a team to develop and demonstrate an airborne system for finding, characterizing, and assessing attack effectiveness against underground facilities and for identifying urban activities through mapping of the power grid. On the LAASS (Low Altitude Airborne Sensor System) program DARPA funded Raytheon BBN Technologies to develop new tools for providing intelligence, targeting information, and battle damage assessment (BDA) on hidden and/or underground facilities, tunnels, and power grid infrastructure. We integrated the airborne passive electromagnetic and acoustic sensors with the signal processing payloads we developed to provide significant reduction in the noise floor to increase our capability to detect, classify, and characterize these targets.
