Urban Commander
Abstract
(U) The Urban Commander program developed automated tools to help ground commanders construct detailed, realistic operational plans, particularly in nontraditional and urban environments. The primary effort in this thrust, the Multi-spectral Adaptive Networked Tactical Imaging System (MANTIS), developed, integrated, and demonstrated an advanced night vision visualization system. Prototype systems have been built. The system consists of a multispectral sensor suite with a high-resolution display and a high performance vision processor, along with a power supply and radio. The prototypes provide the soldier with digitally fused, multispectral video imagery in real-time from the Visible/Near Infrared (VNIR), the Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) and the Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) sensors via the high-resolution display. The processor adaptively fuses the digital imagery from the multispectral sensors providing the highest context, best nighttime imagery in real-time under varying battlefield conditions. There is a Memorandum of Agreement in place with the Program Executive Office-Soldier and Night Vision and Electronics Sensor Directorate for transition at the conclusion of Phase III in the first quarter of FY 2010.
