Integrated RF Sensor Signal/Data Processing Information Analysis Center (IAC)

Abstract

This report develops the concept of a new capability dedicated to the support of the various stakeholders involved in the design, development, and implementation of RF sensor systems. The concept is based on a model widely used throughout the DoD in a number of scientific/technical domains. The model is the Information Analysis Center (IAC) program and in this paper, the feasibility of its application to the radar signal and data processing regime is examined. Although an enormous amount of information exists in the radar signal and data processing arena, this information is not properly organized or managed for efficient utilization. To address that problem, this paper presents a brief overview of the DoD IAC program and then proposes a conceptual implementation of a radar signal and data processing IAC. The basic elements that would comprise the proposed IAC are presented. This is followed by a discussion of functionality and an overview of specific tasks to be performed by the IAC. The paper concludes with a summary and recommendation regarding the establishment of the proposed capability.
