Abstract
Although designed and built originally for high-altitude, long-range oblique missions, analysis and testing has proven the KA-102A standoff c mera to be a system of many applications. These include medium-altitude standoff missions, as well as low-altitude, high-acuity photography. Compatibility with electro-optic (E0) sensors promises a new dimension with real-time standoff surveillance, over-the-horizon targeting, and positive maritime identifica-tion. This paper summarizes the design features of the KA-102A camera systems and describes tasks it can perform in its various configurations.
