Gorgon Stare in Afghanistan


The first three Gorgon Stare pods, mounted on Reaper MQ-9s, will make to Afghanistan around March or April, LT. Gen. David Deptula told reporters this morn­ing. Gorgon Stare uses five electro-optical and four infrared cam­eras to take pic­tures from dif­fer­ent angles. Those are put together to build a larger pic­ture. That pro­vides more detail and more flex­i­bil­ity than the cur­rent cam­eras, but per­haps its biggest advan­tage will be the abil­ity to pro­vide 10 video images to 10 dif­fer­ent oper­a­tors at the same time.
