Summary
Current infrared systems either have a narrow field of view, slow frame rates or are low resolution.
DARPA's Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance - Infrared (ARGUS-IR) program will break this paradigm by producing a wide-field-of-view IR imaging system with frame rates and resolution that are compatible with the tracking of dismounted personnel at night.
ARGUS-IR will provide at least 130 independently steerable video streams to enable real-time tracking of individual targets throughout the field of view.
The ARGUS-IR system will also provide continuous updates of the entire field of view for enhanced situational awareness.
