Sensors for Autonomous Operations and Survivability
Abstract
This effort will deliver sensor component technologies which greatly improve current and future uncooled thermal sensor performance through novel materials, new pixel designs and enhanced image processing, compression, and analysis capabilities. Research into novel multi-function digital read-out integrated circuits and other sensor components will provide embedded on-chip, non- uniformity correction, dynamic motion compensation, on-chip stabilization of infrared imagery and data compression with a significant reduction in data transmission requirements, greatly increased sensitivity of low size, weight, power and cost thermal sensors, and imaging capabilities through natural and manmade obscurants. This effort will research and develop threat cueing algorithms for unmanned aerial sensor borne electro-optic/infrared and ground penetrating radar sensors, and for ground vehicle based 360 degree sensors. This effort will investigate, develop and validate target detection and recognition algorithms with low false alarms rates and high probability of detection while on-the-move. These components will enable sensor systems to provide vehicle borne and dismounted soldier situational understanding in all environments and improve lethality by reducing decision making timelines.
