- Description
- The Enhanced Regional Situational Awareness (ERSA) system provides the National Capital Region-Integrated Air Defense System (NCR-IADS) with �eyes on� video of aircraft in the NCR through a network of visual and infrared cameras. The ERSA system is a collective suite of lasers, Electro-Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) Sensors, connecting networks, data correlation, applications, decision support tools, and operator displays. The specific mission of the lasers is to generate a visual warning signal visible to aircrew of aircraft that may have entered into controlled airspace in error. The laser system and the red/green pulses of light it develops are mentioned to all aircraft in their approved flight plan if they are to be near the NCR; additionally the laser system is published in FAA Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS) for all aircraft. The current system was implemented in 2004 and underwent partial technical refresh in 2012; however, some of the components, including the lasers, are original to the initial fielding. �The lasers are collocated and bore sighted to the camera systems.� There are currently eight (8) of these systems deployed throughout the NCR. �When employed to warn aircraft the laser unit generates laser light on command and that light is routed to a telescope assembly to focus and compress the beam for projection. The telescope units and fiber optic link are still supportable; however, the current laser units are no longer sustainable.
