Acoustic Data Collection of Tactical Unmanned Air Vehicles (TUAVs)

Abstract

This report discusses the data collection experiments of tactical unmanned air vehicles (TUAVs) conducted by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory of Webster Airfield, Patuxent River, MD in October 2001 and January 2002. The purpose of these data collection experiments was to collect raw acoustic signatures of TUAVs and to develop an acoustic database to support activities of the Action Group 6 (AG6) under the Technical Cooperative Program. The AG6's main objectives are to improve the understanding and utilization of acoustic sensor technology and to evaluate acoustic sensor performance in the detection, tracking, and classification of TUAVs.
