Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates technologies that allow the Warfighter to effectively collect, analyze, transfer, and display situational awareness information in a network-centric battlefield environment. It matures and demonstrates architectures and provides technologies that enable synchronized Command and Control (C2) during rapid, mobile, dispersed, and Joint operations. Project 101 matures and develops software applications to more effectively integrate mission command across all echelons and to enable more effective utilization of resources. Projects 1AA and 1AB fund congressional special interest items. Project 243 matures signal processing and fusion technologies for Army sensors; matures and demonstrates radio frequency (RF) systems to track and identify enemy forces and personnel; and matures and demonstrates multi-sensor control and correlation for improving reconnaissance, surveillance, tracking, and target acquisition. Work in this PE is complimentary of PE 0602270A (EW Technology), PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and PE 0603270A (EW Technology); and fully coordinated with PE 0602783A (Computer and Software Technology) and PE 0603008A (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 in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering, Center (CERDEC), Fort Monmouth, NJ and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
