Don't Tread on These...

Airports May Get Remote, Automatic "Intrusion Alert Plus"

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected BAE SYSTEMS to develop miniaturized, unattended ground sensors capable of detecting, identifying and jamming communications and radar threat signals for the "WolfPack" program. The Wolfpack program will provide technologies that help the warfighter monitor and disrupt enemy communications and radar signals, while protecting friendly communications.

BAE SYSTEMS Information & Electronic Warfare Systems (IEWS), Nashua, New Hampshire, received a two-year, $22.8 million award from DARPA's Advanced Technology Office on March 25.

Aaron Penkacik, vice president of IEWS Advanced Systems and Technology organization, said, "This critical future capability is important to the military. It is likely to change the way our forces prosecute electronic warfare missions such as surveillance and electronic countermeasures."

Wolfpack consists of small, unattended sensors that can be placed at areas of interest by a variety of methods. Once deployed, individual "wolves" (sensors), self-organize into "packs" to determine optimum detection and jamming strategies. In each "pack," gateway nodes provide data to users, and the system can detect and jam many threat signals.

Just hope the bad guys don't get these...
