Bluegrass II
Abstract
The RRTO conducted the Bluegrass data collect in FY 2007 to assemble multi-sensor data for the evaluation of persistent, wide-area surveillance concepts in a complex background. This collection provided a fundamental database for evaluating approaches for detecting and unraveling nefarious activity hidden in realistic civilian clutter. Bluegrass data has been provided to more than 150 organizations to facilitate development of new Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. In FY 2013, RRTO collaborated with the intelligence community and subject matter experts to make final plans to execute the Bluegrass II data collect which will explore the applications of low cost, low-access sensing such as urban video networks and social media to augment or replace traditional ISR sensors. These efforts inform and enable development of ISR capabilities needed for future military operations in denied or austere areas. Specific Bluegrass II objectives include developing an algorithm to track an individual across a dense urban video network, developing a technique to discover threat communications in social media, and developing a methodology to discover and characterize all Red Team nodes.
