Formerly known as the Wide Area Airborne Surveillance System (WAAS), Gorgon Stare system is a sensor package carried by two pods, one with networking and communications payload, the other with Visible/IR Camera Arrays and Image Processing module. The package is used to identify and track people, vehicles, and objects in areas of +10 square kilometers.
The U.S. Air Force has recently released a photo which shows an MQ-9 Reaper at Kandahar Airfield (KAF), Afghanistan, marshaled before take off on Mar. 20.
The unmanned aerial system carries two seemingly identical pods (with EO/IR turrets) of the Gorgon Stare Increment 2, an updated version of the original ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) system that we first spotted on an imageposted by the Air Force online September 2014.
