Surveillance Technology
Abstract
The overarching objective of this activity is to develop advanced sensor and sensor processing systems for continuous, high volume, theater-wide air and surface surveillance, battle group surveillance, real time reconnaissance and ship defense. Major technology goals include long-range target detection and discrimination, Target Identification (ID) and fire control quality target tracking in adverse weather, background clutter and electronic countermeasure environments, affordable apertures, distributed sensing systems, and includes modeling and simulation required to support the development of these technologies. The current specific objectives are: 1) Radar Architectures, Sensors, and Software which address Ballistic Missile and Littoral Requirement Shortfalls: Develop radar architectures, sensors, and software, which address Ballistic Missile and Littoral requirement shortfalls including: sensitivity; clutter rejection; and flexible energy management. 2) Algorithms, Sensor Hardware, and Signal Processing Techniques for Automated Radar Based Contact Mensuration and Feature Extraction: Develop algorithms, sensor hardware, and signal processing techniques for automated radar based contact mensuration and feature extraction in support of asymmetric threat classification and persistent surveillance to address naval radar performance shortfalls caused by man-made jamming and Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), unfavorable maritime conditions, and atmospheric and ionosphere propagation effects. 3) Software and Hardware for a Multi-Platform, Multi-Sensor Surveillance System: Develop software and hardware for a multi-platform, multi-sensor surveillance system for extended situational awareness of the battlespace.
