Persistent Operations Surface Surveillance and Engagement (POSSE)
Abstract
The Persistent Operations Surface Surveillance and Engagement (POSSE) program is developing the capability to integrate sensor input from multiple modalities to find indications of insurgent activities. Combined with dynamically updated information from soldiers on the ground, POSSE will enable near-real-time generation of the evidence necessary for further investigation or interdiction. POSSE experiments are conducted at the National Training Center (NTC) with realistic role players emulating typical residential, commercial and light industrial activity. Within this environment, insurgent activity is simulated by qualified experts using the latest and most complete intelligence available. Measurements include precision collections of insurgent activities, as well as the realistic surrounding background clutter of typical civilian activity. Results will inform future experiments, lead to specifications for future sensor design, and provide insights into how to integrate other narrow and wide area sensors into an integrated approach to countering insurgencies. Transition is planned for U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command.
