Combat Identification Technology
Abstract
Non-cooperative CID employs a number of sensing technologies and signal processing techniques. The observations may be compared to a database of known objects to identify surface or air threats from air platforms. These technologies include: (1) Laser Vision, an Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) imaging system that significantly increases ID ranges; (2) Hydra Vision, a balanced (robust) amalgamation of sensor data from multiple sources to provide warfighters with higher confidence CID results on surface or air targets potentially including fusion with intelligence sources, identification of non-traditional targets, fusion to counter camouflage, concealment and deception (CCD), and multi-phenomenology features for sustainable databases; (3) Compact AiTR (Aided Target Recognition) and Sustainable Environments (CASE), a CID approach that focuses on tailoring algorithms to utilize smaller, more efficient databases that are faster and less expensive to generate and maintain; (4) Passive RF ID Environment (PRIDE), a program to develop passive RF target ID capability for denied access environment utilizing passive RF and EW information with potential non-traditional ISR capabilities; (5) Radio ID (RID) will develop methods for utilizing advances in digital radio technologies such as software defined radios, to provide low cost ID solutions to enhance Combat ID, improve aircrew situational awareness and assist in fratricide prevention with military and civil air platforms, potentially fusing non-cooperative techniques and cooperative technologies; and (6) Enhanced Combat ID (ECID), a program under Studies to develop a robust ability to quantitatively evaluate promising CID technologies using enhanced modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities. Cooperative Combat Identification (CID) employs technologies required to rapidly identify friendly platforms. The program develops, integrates and evaluates technologies that provide AF platforms with a means of positively identifying an air or ground platform as a friendly, via active or passive cooperative identification capabilities. Development funded by this project ensures availability of a Mode 5 upgrade path for implementing ground and air platforms across the Air Force fleet. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Combat Identification technologies. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. The FY19 funding request was reduced by $5.461M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. In FY19 project 642599 (Cooperative ID) was erroneously zeroed out. A correction will be made during the execution year to reflect the following: project 642599 (Cooperative ID) - $1.53M; project 642597 (Non-Cooperative ID) - $16.664M. BA4 - This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
