Noncooperative Identification Subsystems

Abstract

Non-cooperative CID employs a number of sensing technologies and signal processing techniques. The results are compared against a database of known objects to identify surface or air threats from air platforms. These technologies include: (1) Laser Vision, an electro-optical imaging system that significantly increases ID ranges and includes (a) the Laser Target Imaging Program (LTIP) which will consist of exploiting synergies between non-cooperative and cooperative ID systems (radio, millimeter wave, infrared, and laser), combat mode improvements, laser vibration development, and studies to support decisions on future work and (b) the Advanced (3D) Laser Sensing (ALS)/Aided Target Recognition (ATR) Combat ID program which includes advanced laser vibration, 3-dimensional laser detection and ranging, laser radar, synthetic aperture laser (SAL) radar, aided/automatic target recognition, and image fusion; (2) Radar Vision, an air-to-ground radar imaging technique to identify stationary and moving targetets using their radar signatures; (3) Database, a project focused on real and synthetic signature collection, generation, processing, testing and standardization techniques that will greatly reduce the cost of supporting fielded and future non-cooperative systems; (4) Fusion Vision, a fusion of sensor data from multiple sources to create a higher confidence in CID of surface or air targets; and (5) X-Patch; a validated set of prediction codes and analysis tools that use the shooting-and-bouncing ray (SBR) method to predict realistic far-field radar signatures from 3D target models in order to predict 1D and/or 2D data. X-Patch is vital to the mission of database production centers which support Joint Sensors Signature Database (JSSD) pathfinders. CID will support Boldquest 09 with more advanced LTIP targeting pods and RBCI (Radio Based Combat ID) in a pod. FY10 development will begin to join cooperative and non-cooperative systems in the Fusion Vision Program to gain a higher confidence combat identification will be the CID project of the future. This program is in Budget Activity 4 - Advanced Component Development and Prototypes because it transitions technologies from laboratory to operational use.
