Collaborative Defense
Abstract
This effort expands the capability to protect ground vehicles by conducting research into technologies that can enable the sharing of protection resources across multiple platforms in real time to expand the zone of protection on the battlefield beyond a single vehicle and its protection system. These technologies include sensors to identify and track incoming threats, radios/networks to allow local communication of threat detection and tracking information, and effectors that disrupt or destroy threats before terminal engagement with the platform. This effort will study various system-level approaches to integrating these aforementioned technologies to enable collaboration across multiple platforms, including integration factors such as size, weight, power consumption, and cost impacts to the platform. This effort will validate performance of the system in the laboratory environment.
