Automatic Target Cueing Study for Helicopter Fire Control. Phase II.

Abstract

In March 1971, Westinghouse proposed a program to the U.S. Army Materiel Command, Frankford Arsenal, for improving target acquisition with FLIR systems in helicopters, using automatic cueing techniques. The improvement would make use of a digital image processor for automatic detection and recognition of targets. The processor would operate on the FLIR video signals. It would provide an alarm to the pilot/gunner to indicate the presence of specific classes of targets in the FLIR field of view. In addition, the location of the target in his display would be marked by visual cues.
