Offboard Sensor Correlation for the E-3 AWACS

Abstract

This report describes the results of a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program performed for USAF Electronics Systems Center. Under a previous SBIR program, Wagner Associates developed a multi-sensor integration (MSI) algorithm designed to integrate the data received from several onboard sensors into a single tactical picture for display to an AWACS operator. The overall objective of this Phase I SBIR effort was to enhance the previously existing software in order to include both offboard data and operator input. This objective was successfully met and the new version of the MSI algorithm is currently installed in MITRE's Fusion Evaluation Testbed at Hanscom AFB.
