During exercises at Camp Blanding, Florida, Raytheon connected two dismounted, remotely operated sensors to a soldier’s laptop and hand controller, which then sent commands to a nearby Griffin missile launcher, according to a Raytheon news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Long Range Acquisition Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) identified the target and sent slew commands through its network to an Enhanced LRAS3 sensor, which confirmed the coordinates needed to engage the target,” Raytheon said. “With this connectivity, the target’s precise position was transmitted with greatly improved speed and accuracy through a secure laptop network, eliminating the need for voice commands.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enhanced LRAS3 (eLRAS3) is the next generation of LRAS3, but with half the weight and volume of the previous systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
