The Common Sensor Payload (CSP) is an electro-optic/infrared/laser designator sensor that provides reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, and intelligence gathering capabilities to the Gray Eagle uncrewed aircraft system. The CSP provides near real-time imagery for detection and classification of targets and threats with a day/night imaging sensor and laser designation, pointing, target marking, and spot tracking for aerial intelligence. The CSP also provides full-motion high-definition imagery and serves as the "eyes" of aircraft system. #ICYMI The current version of the CSP includes a Target Location Accuracy (TLA) capability. This new capability enables precision, near-real time engagements with coordinate seeking weapons by reducing the sensor-to-shooter process from minutes to seconds, providing division commander joint fires engagement options for coordinate seeking weapons.   To learn more about Product Manager Sensors-Aerial Intelligence and their mission, visit https://lnkd.in/eJXrJTDg #SystemSpotlight #PDSAI #SensorsAerialIntelligence #GrayEagle #CSP #CommonSensorPayload #Modernize #AlwaysReady #BeAllYouCanBe
