RF Sensing for Concealed/Low-Signature Threat Detection (previously Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radar)
Abstract
This effort develops the technical underpinnings of UWB radar and other active and passive RF sensing modalities for several key Army concealed and low-signature target detection requirements, including landmine and improvised explosive device (IED) detection, sensing through-the-wall, foliage penetration, UAS detection, other electronic threat detection, and obstacle avoidance for autonomous navigation. This research uses a combination of advanced computational electromagnetic models and algorithms, radar measurements, active and passive RF sensing technologies, and advanced signal processing techniques to define the performance boundaries of state-of-the-art airborne and ground-based UWB radar and other RF sensing modalities for concealed and low-signature target detection and classification.
