The airborne processors will be used by MDA to examine the effectiveness of airborne multispectral targeting sensors (MTS) that provide forward-based, fire-control quality tracks as part of the ballistic missile defence system.
The processing technology offers real-time automated detection and tracking on-board discrimination and transfer of information to the warfighter.
