Article Abstract:
The multinational industry team led by Daimler-Benz Aerospace's Dornier reconnaissance business unit has landed a contract from the US Army to study the NATO Common Ground Station architecture for the proposed Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) program. The team, which includes Motorola Space & Systems Technology Group, French Matra S&I and Italian Alenia Difesa, will cooperate on all activities that concern the AGS ground system. The AGS sensor data will be received, processed, analyzed and disseminated through the ground stations, which will also interface with national reconnaissance systems.
