Terra Harvest: an open, integrated battlefield unattended ground sensors architecture
Robert Heathcock, Colson Brasch · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2011
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is developing Terra Harvest, an open, integrated battlefield unattended ground sensors (UGS) architecture that will employ multiple, flexible sensors via standards-based integration. The Terra Harvest open architecture separates the UGS system into fundamental components and standardizes internal and external interfaces to optimize interoperability. Other acquisition programs can take advantage of this open architecture to meet challenging mission requirements.
