Ground Based Sensors and Integration for Degraded Visual Environments (DVE)
Abstract
This effort provides uncooled IR sensor technologies to improve survivability through increased 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, 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 the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) under PE 0602601/Project C05 and PE 0603005/Project 221. Fully coordinated with PE 0602709/Project H95.
