Imaging and Targeting Support
Abstract
The purpose of the I&TS project is to develop, mature, demonstrate, and rapidly transition next-generation, persistent, wide area surveillance and common imagery reconnaissance sensor capabilities (active and passive systems), including sensor data processing, for multiple airborne platforms, as well as sensor products to aid in rapid targeting (e.g., geolocation models, sensor-based exploitation tools, sensor networking capabilities). Developmental efforts pursued include improved sensor performance, new and improved sensor capabilities and modes, new and/or unique modalities, and enabling technologies. Improved sensor performance includes but is not limited to: increased geolocation accuracy, increased dismount detection capability, and advanced sensor data correlation. New and improved sensor capabilities include but are not limited to: Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI), Polarimetric Imaging (PI), Ground and Dismount Moving target indicator (GMTI/ DMTI), maritime search/track, Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar, Foliage Penetration (FOPEN), and nuclear event detection. New and improved sensor modes include but are not limited to: high resolution imagery, Ground and Dismount Moving Target Indicator (GMTI/DMTI), persistent surveillance, wide area motion imagery, and Spectral Identification. New and unique sensor modalities include but are not limited to: low frequency SAR, Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI), and Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR). Enabling Technologies include but are not limited to: automated and assisted target detection/recognition, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), network centric warfare, integrated multi-sensor capabilities to detect and identify obscured targets, TCPED (Tasking, Collection, Planning, Exploitation, and Dissemination) improvements related to sensors, automated registration, and imagery product quality assurance. These efforts are intended to accelerate delivery of data from sensor to user for both target search and target engagement (kill-chain) activities. This project will also increase interoperability by developing and advancing common standards (e.g. Open Mission Systems (OMS), Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA), Common Open Architecture Radar Programs (COARPS), Multi-INT Common Open Architecture Reconnaissance Program Standard (MI-COARPS), National Imagery Transmission Format, AgilePod and data reduction) and interfaces. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver technology and sensor capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
