Battlefield Illusion
Abstract
This program will develop methods and technologies to enable our forces to manage the adversary's sensory perception to confuse, delay, inhibit, or misdirect their actions in the highly dynamic, close-range, visual/acoustic-dominated environment. The current operational art of human-sensory battlefield deception is largely an ad-hoc practice; advancements in the understanding of how humans use their brains to process sensory inputs will inform the development of techniques and systems in the auditory and visual regimes to provide tactical advantage for our forces, and provide technology tools for incorporation into the design of battlefield systems. This interdisciplinary effort will develop methodologies based on human cognitive insights and investigations, and apply those methodologies to develop, integrate, demonstrate and assess the operational effectiveness of advanced human-deceptive technologies on military ground, sea, and airborne systems. Technologies from this program are anticipated to transition to the Services.
