Description
OKSI will design and build a Precision Guidance Seeker (PGS) for the 81 mm munition. We will enhance and port our target acquisition and tracking algorithms to a real-time processor onboard the PGS, which will receive target-scene imagery prior to launch or while in flight and will deploy post apogee. OKSI will test the algorithms extensively with a wide range of military-relevant real-world data supplemented by M&S data and put the PGS through SWIL testing as well. Guidance and Control (G&C) remains based on existing operationally similar technology with the air-to-ground rockets and concurrently developed capabilities for artillery shells. We expect the PGS to cost less than the currently deployed competing active guidance systems. We will deliver seeker prototypes as an outcome of this effort.
