Sensors and Electronic Survivability

Abstract

This program element (PE) investigates designs and evaluates sensors and electronic components and software that enhance situational awareness, survivability, lethality, and autonomous mobility for tactical ground forces. Project H15 focuses on Combat Identification (CID) technologies, which include devices to locate, identify, track, and engage targets in the Joint fires environment. Project H16 investigates sensors, signal processing and information fusion technologies to increase target detection range and speed of engagement. Project SA2 conducts applied 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 TS1 researches and evaluates space-based remote sensing, signal, and information processing software 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 TS2 focuses on advancing perception for autonomous ground mobility, intelligent vehicle control and behaviors, human-robot interaction, robotic manipulation, and unique mobility for unmanned vehicles. 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 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), PE 0603006A (Command, Control, Communications Advanced Technology), PE 0603008A (Command Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technologies), and PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy Work is performed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; the Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; and the US Army Space and Missile Defense Technical Center, Huntsville, AL.
