Noncooperative Identification Subsystems
Abstract
Non-cooperative CID employs a number of sensing technologies and signal processing techniques. The observations may be compared to a database of known objects to identify surface or air threats from air platforms. These technologies include: (1) Laser Vision, an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) imaging system that significantly increases ID ranges and includes exploiting synergies between non-cooperative and cooperative ID systems (radio, millimeter wave, infrared, and laser). The Laser Target Imagining Program (LTIP) is working on performance improvements, laser vibrometry development, 3-dimensional laser detection and ranging, laser radar, synthetic aperture laser (SAL) radar, aided/automatic target recognition, image fusion and studies to support decisions on future EO/IR technologies; (2) Radar Vision, an air-to-ground radar imaging technique to identify stationary and moving targets using their radar signatures; (3) Hydra Vision (Multi Sensor Enhanced ID; formerly Fusion Vision), a balanced (robust) amalgamation of sensor data from multiple sources to provide warfighters with higher confidence CID results on surface or air targets; and (4) 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 for development of radar signatures of potential high-threat weapons systems; it is a critical capability of database production centers which support Joint Sensors Signature Database (JSSD) pathfinders. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
