Multi-Sensor Exploitation
Abstract
(U) The Multi-Sensor Exploitation program continues efforts previously budgeted in PE 0603767E, Project SEN-02 and will provide multi-sensor exploitation capabilities enabling mission overwatch, border surveillance, high value target tracking, and threat network detection using mixes of imaging, radar, signals, human intelligence, and other sources. Key challenges in the first two missions include real-time and wide area dismount and vehicle target detection, discrimination, tracking, and pattern of life analysis. Key challenges in the third mission include tracking through periods of obscuration and confusion in environments in which existing sensors and methods are not able to provide high quality signature data. Key challenges in the fourth mission include discriminating threats from large volumes of civilian clutter and determining the behavior patterns of and relationships between those threats. The Multi-sensor Exploitation program will develop new target tracking methods for wide area motion imaging sensors enabling long duration tracking of vehicles and dismounts through the development of new target dynamic modeling methods, new processing methods tailored to dismounts, and new methods for signature aided tracking. The program will develop new methods for automatically correlating different sources of information to identify threats, estimate threat networks, and analyze behavioral patterns. The program will include a focus on integrated human and machine processing to better take advantage of the strengths of each. Technologies are planned for transition to the Air Force, Army, SOCOM, and Intelligence agencies.
