CAES to Develop Precision Strike Sensor Core for US Army

CAES is developing the Precision Strike Sensor Core in support of the U.S. Army’s modernization effort and Long Range Precision Fires initiative, which aims to enable first-strike success.

The technology advancement work is under multiple development contracts for the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center.

Designed as a programmable transceiver, the sensor core delivers assured positioning, navigation and timing and provides radio guidance and control and in-flight data link communications, CAES said.

The company is developing the Precision Strike Sensor Core with support from the DEVCOM Armament Center; EngeniusMicro; Oklahoma State University for modeling, simulation and UAS support; Berry Aviation for concept development support; and the new Fires Innovation Science and Technology Accelerator.

“We are proud to support the U.S. Army’s precision fires mission with our pioneering technology to develop high-performance, long-range accuracy,” said Mike Kahn, CAES president and CEO and a past Wash100 awardee.

“We are excited to collaborate with our partners to support the Army as it develops new technologies to address the demands of future missions,” he added.
