Collaborative Defense
Abstract
This effort expands the capability of the US Army to protect ground vehicles. This is done by conducting research into technologies that can enable the sharing of protection resources across multiple platforms in real time, allowing for the expansion of the zone of protection on the battlefield beyond a single vehicle and its protection system. These technologies include components such as sensors which can be used to identify and track incoming threats, radios/networks which will allow local sharing of threat detection and tracking information, and effectors which can disrupt or destroy threats before terminal engagement with the platform. In order to enable collaboration across multiple platforms, including integration factors such as size, weight, power consumption, and cost impacts to the platform, this effort will study various system-level approaches to integrating these aforementioned technologies. Additionally, this effort will validate performance of the system in the laboratory environment.
