Target Identification

Abstract

(U) The Target Identification program continues efforts previously budgeted in PE 0603767E, Project SEN-02 to develop methods to detect, characterize, and identify targets from both electromagnetic and acoustic sensors. Data sources include national, theater, and organic sensors. Exploiting the acoustic emissions of potential targets is of interest because acoustics do not require an unobstructed line of sight between the emitter and sensor, and under certain circumstances sound may propagate great distances. Critical performance metrics are timeliness, accuracy, error rates, and interpretation workload. The program addresses the challenges of target identification, acquisition, tracking and denial in difficult environments. The technologies will apply advanced signal processing and control to leverage advances in sensor capabilities. Transition is planned to the Navy.
