3DNow
Abstract
The 3DNow program aims to develop technologies that let warfighters rapidly access tactical 3D situational awareness data within a secure government owned framework built on a commercial technology base. Building on ideas explored in the System of Systems Enhanced Small Units (SESU) program (budgeted in PE 0603766E, Project NET-01), 3DNow will leverage the latest trends in image processing algorithms, embedded systems, portable devices, and assured separation kernel software to build an interface layer that securely connects the latest commercial hardware to the rest of the military infrastructure. In order to mature and demonstrate the concept, 3DNow will conduct several development cycles focused on supporting tactical level urban warfare. New technologies to be developed include mapping algorithms, image processing algorithms, and interoperability software and hardware. This new technology will interface with commercial drones, Software Defined Radios (SDR), advanced sensors such as those found in self-driven cars (miniature radars and lidars), high-resolution imagers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. 3DNow will transition the framework and sample systems to the Services.
