Optimal Exploitation of 3D Electro-Optic Identification Sensors for Mine Countermeasures

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to utilize existing assets to address issues critical to the operational deployment of advanced electro-optic identification (EOID) mine countermeasure (MCM) sensors. EO identification of mines is specified as a requirement for the next generation of Navy MCM systems (e.g., AQS-20(X) and RMS). With maturing sensor technology like the Aret developed Streak Tube Imaging Lidar (STIL), a concerted effort is being undertaken to evaluate optimal sensor performance, predict sensor performance with advanced imaging models, and to make this EO sensor capability available to the fleet.
