Ground Based Sensor Systems

UGS (Unattended Ground Sensor)

Low cost surveillance, quick response border patrol, military tactical awareness, remote sensor data acquisition requirements, and over the horizon communications are all possible with the SeaLandAire Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) package. Our UGS package is easily deployed, persistent, robust and is designed for easy adaptation to new data acquisition or surveillance requirements.

Advancements by SeaLandAire

With our strong background of low cost, reliable sonobuoy design experience, SeaLandAire has advanced the UGS in a number of fronts. These include:

Standoff deployment
Miniaturization
Modularity
Energy harvesting

SeaLandAire Technologies brings a quick response, high volume, low cost production design to effectively meet these needs with our ruggedized standoff deployment package. Although it is primarily designed to be air deployed from manned, autonomous, powered or un-powered air vehicles, they have the capability to be launched from mortar tubes, rocket or just hand emplaced.

The SeaLandAire UGS package is flexible enough to provide a platform for different, even future, sensors, and adaptable to the various environments, missions, or data acquisition or processing requirements. Our system is designed to operate as a single, fully functional stand alone sensor and communications module or can be programmed to operate in groups that can employ a multiplicity of sensor types into a single sensor “cluster”. In this mode the system, communicating between its modules via a wireless network, enables wide aperture sensor suites employing a number of different sensor types to give the “cluster” an improved false alarm rate and added information on the target. In this mode the SeaLandAire UGS system operates similarly to a living organism’s sensory system, detecting events in a wide range of situations in a variety of ways- just as living organisms does with its multiplicity of sensory inputs. We contend that more useful and reliable data can be obtained in this fashion using relatively low cost well developed technologies reducing the need for costly, cutting-edge individual sensors to conduct covert surveillance in challenging environments.
