Distributed Sensor Network

Abstract

The Distributed Sensor Networks (DSN) program is aimed at developing and extending target surveillance and tracking technology in systems that employ multiple spatially distributed sensors and processing resources. Such a system would be comprised of sensors, data bases, and processors distributed throughout an area and interconnected by an appropriate digital-data communication system. Surveillance and tracking of low-flying aircraft have been selected to develop and evaluate DSN concepts in the light of a specific system problem. ADSN test bed that will make use of multiple small acoustic arrays as sensors for low- flying aircraft surveillance is being developed and will be used to test and demonstrate DSN techniques and technology.
