The Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA) program is a US Marine Corps Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD). The objective is to design, develop, and demonstrate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based passive multispectral video sensor subsystem, to detect and locate obstacles and minefields before and during an amphibious assault, and land combat operations in littoral areas. The COBRA ATD system consisting of an airborne sensor subsystem and a ground station subsystem is described along with the testing program.
