| 释义 |
The Integrated Sensor is Structure (ISIS) was a program managed by the United States Air Force (USAF) Research Laboratory to research the feasibility of using an unmanned airship as a high-altitude aerial reconnaissance and surveillance platform. It is sometimes called Integrated Sensor is the Structure, as a fundamental innovation was the use of the airship structure as the sensing component of a state-of-the-art radar system. In 2006, contracts were awarded to Raytheon for development of a large-area, light, Active electronically scanned array antenna which could be bonded to the structure of a blimp,[1] Northrop Grumman for antenna development, and Lockheed Martin for development of the airship.[2] As proposed, the {{convert|450|ft|m|adj=on}}-long surveillance airship could be launched from the US and stationed for up to 10 years at an altitude of {{convert|65000|ft|m}}, observing the movement of vehicles, aircraft, and people below.[3] At that altitude, the airship would be beyond the range of most surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles. The airship would be filled with helium and powered, at least in part, by solar-powered hydrogen fuel cells. On March 12, 2009, the USAF announced that it had budgeted $400 million for work on ISIS .[4] In April 2009, DARPA awarded a $399.9 million contract to Lockheed Martin as the systems integrator and Raytheon as the radar developer for phase three of the project: the construction of a one-third scale model, which would remain in the air for up to a year.[5] The ultimate goal was to provide radar capable of delivering persistent, wide-area surveillance tracking and engagement of air targets within a 600-kilometer area and ground targets within a {{convert|300|mi|km|adj=on}} area, according to DARPA. The model blimp was to have radar coverage of about 7,176 square yards (6,000 square meters) and be tested at an altitude of {{convert|6|mi|km}} above the ground. The contract initially awarded $100 million to the two companies, with the rest to follow in phases, with a completion date of March 2013.[5] As of 2012, the development of the airframe had been delayed to focus on "radar risk reduction".[6] The United States Department of Defense ended the program in 2015. $471 million had been spent from 2007 through 2012.[7] See also{{Portal|United States Air Force}}
