Combat ID Database Development

Abstract

The Database Initiative (DBI) is a project designed to remove the "hard-coded” static identification (ID) parameters (typically updated every 4-5 years) from the host platform's sensor(s) and replace them with parameterized values that are more easily and rapidly updated when new intelligence inputs come available (this allows maximum flexibility to tailor each aircraft's Combat Identification (CID) database(s) based on assigned theater of operation, threat country of interest, and assigned mission tasks). This project primarily consists of four objectives: A.) determining a sensor's capability to capture target features for CID, B) designing and developing a database to contain the CID features identified in Objective A, C) developing techniques to generate the requisite features, and D) provide CID features developed from measured or modeled data. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Combat Identification technologies. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Combat Identification capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element and in FY24 0.0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
