"Kraken" - a new US security system
After the field tests of the new defensive system were successful, the United States Army placed an order on Kraken.
Recall that in the myths of Icelanders, the Kraken is a monster with many tentacles living in the sea.
The combat, guard, observation and defense system (COSFPS) has a radar, sensors that do not require an operator, surveillance cameras, weapon, remote controlled and fire detection system. All controlled by a pair of soldiers with leptopami.
There are Kraken 11 cameras with visibility 360 degrees, electro-optical \ infrared modes, low light modes, thermal night cameras and two rotating radar cameras mounted on 10-meter poles.
Kraken is equipped with ground-based radar and a sensor, five devices detecting the direction of fire of the enemy. Two notebooks to manage. Weapons with a laser tracking system controlled remotely. For night mode, there are 8 conventional and infrared lights.
Radars located at the top can detect a person at a distance of up to 10 km, and transport at a distance of up to 20 km.
The US Army made a report regarding the new system, and, according to the ordinary American army of James Brown, such equipment allows you to define targets before the enemy approaches the attack distance. All attempts to attack the unit were in advance.
If the enemy is not noticed by the radar, it will be detected by seismic or acoustic sensors, and the machine guns will start tracking the target in automatic mode.
The next stage of improvement should be to improve the platform. In this case, it will become a multi-service system, will be able to perform more functions, for example, Air Force planes could receive more accurate information about ground targets.
