Techniques to Remotely Identify and Evaluate Electrical Power System Infrastructure
Abstract
It can be difficult for military planners to assess potential sites when establishing forward facilities for deployed military units in austere environments. They must consider many parameters; e.g., geographic elevation and contiguous flat terrain, proximity to operating electrical distribution systems, etc. Since potential site locations may be in hostile territory, remote detection and assessment of electrical systems can be essential. Because such systems emit signals and/or have passive signatures, a potential source of identification can be examined when viewed from above the earth or from a distance when on the ground. This work reviews the basic signal and signatures of electrical systems and identifies parameters most pertinent to their remote detection.
