Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System (CT2WS)
Abstract
Recent advances in computational and neural sciences indicate it is possible to push the visual threat detection envelope to enable more response choices for our soldiers than ever before. The objective of the Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System (CT2WS) program is to drive a breakthrough in soldier-portable visual threat warning devices by leveraging discoveries in the disparate technology areas of flat-field, wide-angle optics, large pixel-count digital imagers, visual processing pathways, neurally based target detection signatures and ultra-low power analog-digital hybrid signal processing electronics. This program will lead to the development of prototype soldier-portable digital imaging threat cueing systems capable of effective detection ranges of 1-10 km against dismounts and vehicles. Simultaneously, the system will survey a 120-degree or greater field of view, enabling the warfighter to detect, decide and act on the most advantageous timeline in complex operational environments.
