Within the next year, a military operator will expand its wide-area unmanned air system (UAS) surveillance capabilities thanks to new low density servers and other intellectual property now available from Massachusetts-based Mercury Computer Systems.

The company's fast, low-latency LSD6520 data communication modules, together with their protocol offload engine technology (POET), will give the operator the ability to surveil larger areas "looking for things of interest and people of interest with the same electro-optical and infrared cameras onboard," says Sarah Leeper, marketing manager for the company. "It widens the aperture logically, not physically," adds Leeper.
