FORWARD PASS ConsortiumTagging from a UAV
Operational Capability:• Deploying a tailored spectral dust over
individuals, equipment or locales from a UAV
• Dust electro statically attaches to clothing/equipment and can be detected by hyper spectral sensor
• Spectral sensor capable of detecting tagged personnel and equipment.
• Utilizes an existing UAV which will be modified to dispense dust
ROM Cost and Schedule – Can be accelerated• Task 1 Period of performance 6 months
– ROM cost - $1.5M• Task 2 – 4 months
– ROM cost - $300k• Task 3 – 2 months
– ROM cost - $200kStatus of components• UAV exists and is presently fitted for visual
surveillance.• Spectral dust exists – spectral purity has been
demonstrated

Proposed Technical Approach: Task1:• Determine and test spectral dust characteristics• Determine concentrations required for hyper spectral
detection on personnel• Modify UAV to deploy dust
Task 2:• Determine dust scatter patterns and concentrations as
a function of UAV speed, altitude, wind and release rates
Task 3:• Field test system in different environments
