'Kraken' provides needed intelligence, force protection at NIE

WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. (Army News Service, Aug. 31, 2011) – The Army is evaluating a cutting-edge force-protection system which combines radar, surveillance cameras, unmanned sensors, gunshot detection and remote-controlled weapons.

The sensors and weapons are combined into a single, integrated system that can scan surrounding terrain for threats, alert Soldiers of potential imminent danger and provide them fires to respond, service officials said.

The Combat Outpost Surveillance and Force Protection System, or COSFPS, nicknamed "Kraken" after the mythological sea creature with many heads, was evaluated in July as part of the Army's 3,800-Soldier-strong Network Integration Evaluation, or NIE at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. The exercise was designed to assess and integrate a host of technologies.
