  • Abstract
    The AirWASP framework leverages enabling technologies to aid in persistent surveillance missions onboard a manned aircraft. While the system as described was developed to fulfill the needs of the Gotcha II program, the system´s versatility and modular design provide an abundance of technology options through framework design that will accommodate growing computing needs and can leverage technological advances.
