DARPA WAND
Wide Area Network Detection · coincident WAMI + RF
Overlapping multi-INT architecture
Live-fly WAMI and RF geolocation fusion in 2012, SOCOM transition, Trident Spectre demonstration. Named in FY2013 NDAA Sec. 927. Part of the overlapping multi-INT ecosystem around Blue Devil and Gorgon Stare. Not shown as an MH370 collector.
WAND is the statutory/DARPA name for the SIGINT-cue-imagery architecture that Blue Devil and Gorgon Stare sit next to. The names are not interchangeable. Coincident WAMI/RF was already demonstrated in 2012. That is family context, not a sortie on 8 March 2014.
