Distributed Sensor Networks

Abstract

This is the final Lincoln Laboratory technical report for the DARPA Distributed Sensor Networks (DSN) project. The report reviews the DSN concept and documents the accomplishments, technical results, and lessons learned during the project. Topics covered include: acoustic direction finding, distributed tracking algorithms, hardware and software elements of an experimental test bed, network communication and self-location, multisite data-integration, and experimental demonstrations of tracking low-flying aircraft using multiple distributed acoustic and TV sensors.
