2009QRF0002_Sensor Fusion Improvement Initiative (SFII) Phase 3
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the suitability and performance benefits of introducing Naval Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) track quality data and fused sensor environment into the NORAD/NORTHCOM (N/NC) sensor grid. CEC is a proven mechanism for integrating diverse sensors into a common, high fidelity, tracking and engagement system capable of supporting an optimized integrated air picture. Because of its inherent, multi-sensor architecture, and the available base of military sensors already configured for CEC use, it offers an attractive means of enhancing and extending the N/NC sensor grid to include multiple, wide-area feeds, including maritime approach data from naval surface and air units operating ashore or at sea in the tidewater Virginia area supporting the National Capital Region (NCR) Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) mission. The primary goal of this effort was to demonstrate and evaluate options (both RF and Land Line) for the introduction of CEC information into N/NC and theater sensor grids and to assess the degree of benefit provided as determined by operations teams within the Combative Command.
