INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR)
Abstract
This activity supports the demonstration of technologies to enhance situational awareness and tactical decision making through automated analysis, fusion of data, rapid integration of information, and acquired knowledge resulting in actionable intelligence at the lower command levels. The activity includes the demonstration of ISR efforts involving enhanced reconnaissance and persistent surveillance, and sensors for unmanned ground and aerial vehicles. Advanced Technology demonstrations also include the collection of information [monitoring, sensing, and locating] in the 3D urban battlespace as well as exploiting information [identifying and classifying data] as part of the intelligence preparation of the battlespace in order to facilitate operational maneuver and distributed operations. The FY2011 to FY2012 funding increase is due to acceleration of efforts to develop agile tactical sensor nets to improve the availability, timeliness, and usefulness of battlespace intelligence. The increase in the ISR Thrust funding from FY2012 to FY2013 is due to the initiation of Tagging, Tracking, and Locating efforts to demonstrate a system that will automatically translate large amounts of wide area surveillance data into tracks, useful to expose entity to entity associations; build urban context, as well as detect events and anomalies; and associate objects, tasks, locations and events for creating actionable intelligence in on-board firmware which is a USMC and United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) priority. Efforts to mature the semantic web construct needed to enable information dissemination and utilization will also be initiated. Efforts to infer and disambiguate graphs generated from structured and unstructured data will be accelerated as will development in processing low signal to noise audio data.
