Data Fusion and Correlation Techniques Testbed (DFACTT): Field Trial 14 January 1991
Abstract
The Data Fusion and Correlation Techniques Testbed (DFACTT) is a platform on which to test new methods of data fusion and machine intelligence in the electronic warfare field. With the ability to operate multiple Smalltalk environments as well as independent tasks on a variety of VMEbus based devices, the prototype new ideas and technologies in the areas of sensor data fusion, parallel processing, and knowledge-based programming. The phase I testbed developed under contract was interfaced to real EW sensors from 2 (EW) Squadron of the 1st Canadian Division Headquarters and Signals Regiment (CDHSR) for a field trial at Defence Research Establishment Ottawa (DREO), 14 Jan 1991. One station of the Communications Emitter Locating System (CELS) was connected for location inputs to the DFACTT, as were two WJ8617B receivers for radio intercept input. A scenario was developed and kept secret from those who were to act as operator and analyst on the DFACTT. Three radio networks formed the target for the DFACTT operators. The operators were to intercept and locate the emitters, track them, and determine the objective of the scenario.
