Sensors and Electronic Survivability

Abstract

The focus of this program element (PE) is to investigate research and evaluation of sensors and electronic technologies that enhance survivability, lethality, deployability, and sustainability capabilities. Focus is on research that provides the ability for joint fires to locate, identify, track, and engage targets as necessary with the overall goal of increasing lethality and survivability through the reduction of fratricide (project H15); research on advanced sensors, signal processing and information technologies that provide decisive new capabilities to locate, identify, and engage battlefield targets in tactical and urban environments (project H16); research on biological sensors and biologically derived electronics that exploits breakthroughs in biotechnology basic research in collaboration with the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnology (ICB) a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) led by the University of California, Santa Barbara in partnership with California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and their industry partners (project SA2); research and evaluation of space-based remote sensing, signal, and information processing technology in collaboration with other Department of Defense (DoD) and government agencies to support space force enhancement and space superiority advanced technology integration into Army battlefield operating systems (project TS1); research on advancing perception for autonomous ground mobility, intelligent vehicle control and behaviors, human-robot interaction, robotic manipulation, and unique mobility for unmanned vehicles (project TS2). Projects SA1 and SA3 fund congressional special interest items. Work in this program element (PE) complements and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602307A (Advanced Weapons Technology), PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0602709A (Night Vision Technology), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), PE 0603006A (Command, Control, Communications Advanced Technology), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technologies), and PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology). and PE 0603008A (Command Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed by the Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, the Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Ft. Monmouth, NJ, and the US Army Space and Missile Defense Technical Center, Huntsville, AL.
