Persistent Wide Area Airborne Surveillance (WAAS) System GORGON STARE Gorgon Stare (GS) is a one-of-a-kind Persistent Wide-Area Airborne Surveillance (WAAS) System. A Multi-Mission/Multi-Mode Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform with a unique EO/IR toolset providing wide-area (city-sized) continuous stare coverage. Currently fielded on an unmanned aerial system, GS feeds simultaneous reports to multiple individual users with individual taskings. The sensor is packaged in a turret maximizing the overall ISR imaging capability in a networked imagery/video distribution system. Specifically tailored for ISR operations in forward tactical areas, GS can provide a wide-area overwatch with ten (10) focused video feeds sent directly to individual users on the ground. High resolution real-time motion video of activities of interest are collected to supply pattern-of-life and post-event forensics. Real-Time Motion Video - Direct to Dispersed Ground Personnel
