Automated Target Recognition and Fratricide Reduction

Abstract

Fratricide (or amicide) is a terrible consequence of combat operations. Often fratricidal consequences cannot be quantified directly or easily. Current research and development efforts are oriented to provide increased capability to automatically recognize targets, which offers to further complicate the fratricide situation. This report details a methodology, based on cost as a consequential approximation, for thresholding Automated Target Recognition (ATR) systems under combat conditions to minimize the impact of fratricide. Example computations using a simple enumeration simulation are presented to illustrate the application of the methodology.
