VELA Network Evaluation and Automatic Processing Research
Abstract
The second part of the work performed covered as follows: Evaluated SRO and ASRO stations by expanding the data base of operational stations to include at least one calendar year of data to determine the detection and discrimination capability of the stations, and to determine the performance characteristics of the detector used at the stations. Performed research on signal detection by investigating techniques to reduce the false alarms of detectors at a constant signal detection threshold, by integrating and testing long-period signal extraction algorithms. Defined an event identification package with a set of identification criteria applied to a network of station data, determined an optimum combination of the various criteria, tested the package on an area of interest data base provided by the government, and recommended further improvements based on operational difficulties and deficiencies discovered during the study.
