Urban-Unattended Ground Sensors (U-UGS)

Textron Defense Systems' Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) is a core Future Combat Systems (FCS) program that uses advanced communications and technologies to link soldiers with both manned and unmanned platforms and sensors. This system of sensors is capable of detecting, classifying, locating, and tracking vehicles, personnel, and aircraft in both rural and urban environments

For urban initiatives, Urban-Unattended Ground Sensors (U-UGS) can be used as a surveillance tool during the clearing operations of buildings, caves, sewers, tunnels, and other confined spaces. Textron Defense Systems, in collaboration with Honeywell, designed these wireless, hand emplaced system of sensors to be lightweight and low cost. The U-UGS network will capture field-of-view images of intruders in all light conditions and transmit images to the FCS Network where immediate recognition of human intruders can be achieved.
