Ground Based Sensors and Integration for Degraded Visual Environments (DVE)
Abstract
This effort provides uncooled Infrared (IR) sensor technologies to improve survivability through increased Situational Awareness (SA) in all conditions and environments, to include (DVE), for manned and unmanned ground vehicle systems. Current uncooled IR requires improvement in sensitivity and development of signal processing techniques to penetrate obscurants. Integration of improved sensors, signal processing algorithms, and data fusion will maintain mission capabilities in DVE (e.g. smoke, dust, fog). Demonstration of scalable, multi-function (360 degree SA, Hostile Fire Detection (HFD), Aided Driving), low cost SA systems with in-vehicle displays that can be tailored to the ground platform and mission requirements will bring timely and useful information to the vehicle crew and squad. Joint effort with TARDEC under PE 0602601, PROJ C05 and 0603005, PROJ 221. Fully coordinated with PE 0602709, PROJ H95.
