Terrain Commander
(TC) (shown below) and Terrain Commander 2 (shown
left) are network enabled surveillance systems, used for
military intelligence gathering and battlefield surveillance, force
protection, perimeter security, border control. The TC system's base
unit is a self contained 11 kg platform and 6kg payload, both fit
well into an oversized backpack and is deployed in minutes and can
operate continuously for up to three months.
The Optical Acoustic SATCOM Integrated Sensor (OASIS) payload is an
autonomous, day and night multi-sensor suit, which includes
electro-optical day/night and acoustic sensors; these can be
augmented by additional Miniature Intrusion Sensors (MIS) such as
passive infrared, magnetic, seismic and piezoelectric (pressure)
sensors which can be deployed up to 300 meters from the OASIS base
unit, communicating via wireless links. The system can recognize a
personnel size target (day or night) at a range of 150 meters and a
vehicle at 500 m., where it is also detectable by the acoustic
sensor. A tank target can be detected by acoustic signals at a range
of 2.5 km, while a helicopter will be picked up at 10 km. the
acoustic detector electro-optics recognition range.
Enhanced OASIS sensors provide vital battlefield intelligence as
they monitor the battlefield deep inside enemy area or monitor
sensitive locations which are unattended by security forces. They
provide automatic detection, classification, capture and processing
of images of activities in their area. Images and data are
transmitted in real time to Command and Control Station (CCS) where
feeds from several sensors are compiled and monitored. Target data
can be displayed as maps, static images as well as multi-frame
sequences, which can be used to detect obscured targets by their
motion.
The new version from Textron Systems is Terrain
Commander 2. It is comprised of more compact, lightweight elements
weighing a total 4.4kg (9.8 lbs). Terrain Commander 2 can operate
autonomously on a single battery pack for 30 days. Mission duration
can be further extended with auxiliary power pack. TC2 can detect
vehicles at a distance of 500 meters and helicopters at 10 km
distance, recognizing a human target at 150 – 500 meters and
vehicles, at 0.5 – 1.5km. It will detect any tampering attempt.
