Urban-Unattended Ground Sensors
Soldiers participating in a Future Combat Systems (FCS) Experiment 1.1 mock combat exercise place Urban-Unattended Ground Sensors (U-UGS) inside a previously cleared building to monitor its status and warn if it has been re-occupied by enemy combatants. U-UGS, developed by Textron Systems, provide a leave-behind, network-enabled reporting system for situational awareness and force protection in an urban setting, and are currently among those technologies slated for early spin out to the current force beginning in 2008.
