SAREX 2007 Search Event Data Analysis

Abstract

The Advanced Integrated Multi-sensing Surveillance (AIMS) system technology demonstration program (TDP) was designed to improve the surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the Canadian Forces (CF), particularly at night and in degraded weather conditions. Thereby, to evaluate the utility of this system for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, evaluation criteria were developed and presented in previous publications. Also, to improve the previous published database, this memorandum presents the analysis of the data collected at SAREX 2007 using the same evaluation criteria. The first part of this memorandum presents a short description of the SAREX 2007 search event. Then, SAREX 2007 results are presented and the analysis of the data is made using different evaluation criteria such as: target location accuracy, target identification, number of call-arounds, false detection rate, probability of detection and number of targets. Finally, a discussion is presented and recommendations are provided.
