Integrated Situational Awareness and Countermeasures
Abstract
DoD aircraft currently use a federated architecture of sensors and CM to protect themselves against guided and unguided hostile threats while simultaneously avoiding collisions with the ground and other obstacles. These sensors typically provide the pilot with separate displays of radar warning and missile warning to guide the pilot in selecting automatic or manual countermeasures against radar, laser, or radio frequency guided threats. These unfused sensors create a serial information stream which can induce an inadequate response to the threat. Federated systems consume weight, space, and power which are at a premium in small platforms. Additionally, there currently is no coordinated effort to develop integrated situational awareness or control CM that include off-board systems.
