AROCS

AROCS is a multi-rotor based user-friendly radar and optical calibration system that replaces the requirement for a fixed or mobile boresight tower. This system does not require any significant piloting experience as it is fully autonomous from takeoff to landing. AROCS can be readied and launched within minutes by a single operator. Calibrations will be built into the radar Operator’s Communication console OPCOM and the Remote Ground Control Station (RGCS) allowing the operator to either preselect the mission (calibration profile) or change the mission during flight. Initiation of the mission (flight) will be from the either OPCOM or the RGCS. The calibrations will include Azimuth, Elevation, and Range Bias, Mis-level, Optical and RF Skew, Optical and RF Droop, and Non-Orthogonality.
