Multispectral Threat Warning
Abstract
This effort investigates the benefits of augmenting the currently fielded ultra-violet (UV)-based Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) threat detection capability with IR and acoustic sensors to improve the probability of detection of Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS)-like threats; reduce atmospheric clutter and, thereby, the false alarm rate, and add detection of ball ammunition to the current CMWS tracer-only capability.
