Non-cooperative 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 EO/IR imaging system that significantly increases ID ranges;(2) PRIDE, a program to develop passive RF target ID capability for denied access environment utilizing passive RF and EW information with potential non-traditional ISR capabilities; (3) A new program called RID will develop methods for utilizing advances in radio technologies such as software defined radios to provide a low cost ID solutions for situational awareness and fratricide prevention potentially fusing non- cooperative techniques and cooperative technologies. (4) Hydra Vision, a balanced (robust) amalgamation of sensor data from multiple sources to provide warfighters with higher confidence CID results on surface or air targets potentially including fusion with intelligence sources, identification of non-traditional targets, fusion to counter camouflage, concealment and deception (CCD), and multi-phenomenology features for sustainable databases; (5) CASE, a CID approach that focuses on tailoring algorithms to utilize smaller, more efficient databases that are faster and less expensive to generate and maintain; and (6) ECID, a program to develop a robust ability to quantitatively evaluate promising CID technologies using enhanced modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning.
