Objects tracked by optical sensors in ascent phase and midcourse are frequently obscured on the focal plane by countermeasures and debris (or clutter) that affect the performance of discrimination and tracking algorithms. Ascent phase can be especially challenging due to the presence of fuel… More

The objective of this proposal is to develop a Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) algorithm that will operate in real-time while receiving detection reports in ascent phase from a variety of disparate sensors. ExoAnalytic Solutions has developed mature tools, including the CCIR3 CSO algorithm and… More

MDA plans to use optical platforms, such as PTSS, ABIR, and SM-3, to track ballistic missiles in support of ascent phase intercepts. For success, there are a number of system level challenges that the C2BMC element must overcome. A few of these are: 1) achieve and maintain stereo tracks, 2) perform… More

Objects tracked by optical sensors in ascent phase and midcourse are frequently obscured on the focal plane by closely spaced objects, countermeasures and debris (or clutter) that affect the performance of discrimination and tracking algorithms. Problems include missed detections, false alarms,… More

The ExoMHT association algorithm is an innovative Multiple Hypotheses Tracker which operates in real-time for large numbers of boosting, maneuvering, and deploying targets. During Phase I, ExoAnalytic Solutions developed the ExoMHT association algorithm into a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3… More

In order to counter emerging threats from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is acquiring new sensor (e.g. AN/TPY-2 and PTSS) and weapon technology (SM-3). As these new technologies becomes fielded, the BMDS's Command, Control Battle Management and… More

One of the primary research objectives for multi-sensor data fusion within the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is the development of novel techniques to enable robust target discrimination. While great strides have been made in recent years to advance capabilities through the use of… More

Missile Defense Agency (MDA) recently adopted the Phased Adaptive Approach (PAA) to enhance the Ballistic Missile Defense System"s (BMDS) ability to counter emerging threats in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. PAA primarily focuses on fielding new sensor technology (e.g. AN/TPY-2, ABIR, and… More

ExoAnalytic Solutions proposes to develop a star catalog and in-band irradiance simulation by leveraging our in house star background model called STARS (Stellar Track And Radiance Simulation) v1.0 and the Exo6Sim optical focal plane scene generation simulation. STARS v1.0 uses a stellar spectrum… More

ABSTRACT: Over the past twenty years, the United States and other nations around the world have become dependent on space technology for communications, precision tracking and many other applications, causing the space domain to become both contested and congested. To maintain Unites States space… More
