The Adelos^TM product combines patented Navy technology (BLUE ROSE) and advanced geospatial capabilities into an Integrated Situational Awareness Architecture (ISAA), leveraging standards-based, commercial off-the-shelf technologies.

Adelos provides state-of-the-art covert surveillance and intelligence sensor capabilities within a distributed situational awareness environment. This allows multiple sensor systems to be integrated into a common operational picture for threat detection, classification, and communication via a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The system is self-calibrating, and fully configurable for zone width and positioning along the span being secured. The system implements a polarization fade mitigating optical receiver system and utilizes a three level Rayleigh reflector ensemble fading mitigation strategy. FPGA electronics are used extensively throughout the system for modulation, and correlation of detected signal telemetry.

The laser system is an enclosed temperature, and vibration controlled environment utilizing an embedded COTS Class 3B laser. The single sensing fiber optic cable is buried between 6 and 18 inches in depth depending on the application. Acoustic signals detected can be characterized to determine the nature of the intrusion as well as monitored in real-time given the continuous phased array of the signal.

Adelos^TM System Characteristics:

• Geospatial Common Operational Picture (GeoCOP) - ISAA^TM
• Adelos is an interferometric fiber optic sensor
• Adelos does not require mirrors to be placed in fiber
• Utilizes patented Rayleigh Optical Scattering and Encoding for continuous phased approach
• Extremely sensitive fiber optic sensor system providing digital acoustic signal
• Single strand fiber optic cable as sensing element
• Ability to detect and track multiple targets along fiber optic zones
• Advanced Optical Transmitter and Receiver (OTR)
• Adelos sensors are formed electronically and zones can be changed programmatically
• Adelos sensors are impervious to EMP

Adelos is based upon patented Rayleigh Scattering and Encoding exploitation.

Adelos sensors are formed electronically and can be programmatically adjusted, providing for flexible zonation length and location.
