The technology, described as an "urban intelligence and surveillance system" is called Masthead and will be announced at a special forces show in Jordan this week.
Data capture can be done with a system based on LIDAR (Light Intensity Direction and Ranging) that sits atop a jeep. Also in development: the ability to fuse data from other sensors, such as those that see through walls.
Mike Thomas, the business development manager at the company's Mission Systems division "said that by using 3-D through-the-wall radar, thermal imaging and X-ray backscatter, you can fuse data to create a picture of a building's external and internal structures, as well as detect objects and people inside."
The UK developed and GD UK funded work is not subject to U.S. technology export regulations.
