What is an ITSS?
An Integrated Tactical Surveillance System combines several sensors and data sources into a unified picture of the situation. Instead of evaluating radar, infrared, acoustic and other sensors separately, the system merges their data so that operators receive a complete and consistent picture.
Tasks of the system
The ITSS captures data from the connected sensors, correlates it and displays it on a common situation picture. It detects and tracks targets, supports the identification and passes the information on to the command systems. The integration of the sensors increases the detection range and reduces the risk that a target is overlooked.
Usage of the abbreviation
ITSS appears in system descriptions, procurement documents and technical documentation of surveillance and reconnaissance systems. It belongs to the group of sensor and surveillance abbreviations and stands for the trend of fusing sensor data instead of evaluating it in isolation.
