Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory Journal Volume 6, Number 1, Spring 1993

Abstract

In this article we introduce the subject of automatic target recognition (ATR). Interest in ATR is increasing in the defense community as the need for precision strikes in limited warfare situations becomes an increasingly important part of our defense posture. We discuss the difficulty of the ATR problem and we survey the variety of approaches that try to solve the problem. We conclude by introducing the other articles in this issue of the Lincoln Laboratory Journal.
