RF Sensing for Concealed/Low-Signature Threat Detection (previously Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radar)
Abstract
This effort develops the technical underpinnings of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and other active and passive radio frequency (RF) sensing modalities for several key Army concealed and low-signature target detection requirements, including landmine and improvised explosive device (IED) detection, sensing through-the-wall, foliage penetration, unmanned aerial system (UAS) detection, other electronic threat detection, and obstacle avoidance for autonomous navigation. This research uses a combination of advanced computational electromagnetic models and algorithms, radar measurements, active and passive RF sensing technologies, and advanced signal processing techniques to define the performance boundaries of state-of-the-art airborne and ground-based UWB radar and other RF sensing modalities for concealed and low-signature target detection and classification.
