The Raytheon DB-110 Sensor: Four Cameras in One Package

Abstract : Raytheon has designed, manufactured, and flight-tested a new reconnaissance system. The Raytheon DB-110 reconnaissance system is effectively four sensors in one, utilizing simultaneous visible and infrared focal plane assemblies with selectable long-range or short-range optics. This capability permits reconnaissance missions to be conducted from very short range to long range by day or night. This paper reviews the design objectives, system characteristics and example flight test imagery from the Raytheon DB-110 system.
