Operational Awareness Tech
Abstract
The Air Force requires technologies that improve and automate their capability to generate, process, manage, fuse, exploit, interpret, and disseminate timely and accurate information. This project provides not only a network-centric, collaborative intelligence analysis capability that enables the fusion of multi-intelligence and sensor sources to provide timely situation awareness, understanding, and anticipation of the threats in the battle space, but also the advanced, novel exploitation technologies needed to intercept, collect, locate, and process both covert and overt raw data from intelligence and sensor sources. It leads the research, discovery, and development of technology that enables the fusion of multi-intelligence sources to provide accurate object tracking and ID, situational awareness, understanding, and anticipation of the threats in the battlespace (air, ground, space, and cyber). It also leads in the development of advanced exploitation technologies to maximize the intelligence gained from our adversaries in the areas of spectral detection and geolocation, signal recognition and analysis, and the data tagging, tracking, and tracing via the insertion of secure, imperceptible signal embedding for future fusion and understanding of the information.
