Who is Our Enemy, Where is He?

Abstract

This is a challenging question for all war fighters, tactical mission planners, and C3I Command headquarters. In order to protect ourselves and to achieve air, land, and sea superiority, we must know where our enemies are, so that the war fighters can successfully deploy weapons to kill our enemy. In this paper, the following three topics are covered: A, Multi-sensor fusion model for multiple target detection: Long range detection sensors such as an augmenting radar, provide target range, range rate, azimuth angle and elevation angle. Space based infrared and Electro Optics systems provide imagery information and GPS or Differential GPS provides tactical target information such as target position, velocity and acceleration and other kinematics parameters for target detection. On board digital links, IFF sensor, and ESM sensors are also elements of the fusion model for multiple target detection.
