Coi proposes to develop a technique for planning field trial test of surveillance reconnaissance smart sensors which will (1) maximize the information resulting from a trial, and (2) minimize the number of field trails required to assess performance. we utilize target and background signatures and… More

Objective measures are needed of the target acquisition reduction (tar) afforded personnel by camouflage; subjective measures are expensive, unrepeatable and difficult to compare between field and laboratory trials. the objective measures must be based on factors affecting human performance. we… More

The differential inversion technique developed by king shows exciting promise as a means for obtaining atmospheric temperature profiles from upwelling infrared and microwave radiance data without the use of a priori information about the structure of the atmosphere. the defense meteorological… More

We propose an innovative methodology which will provide tecom with a new capability to evaluate threat targets and weapon systems as the state-of-the-art in allied technologies, requirements, and tactics evolves. we describe how we will implement our work, and how it will provide tecom with the… More

Coi proposes to develop a new methodology for analyzing image processing (ip) algorithms for optimizing target acquisition while minimizing false targets. we will utilize target and background databases and ip algorithms. we describe how we will implement our work and how our methodology will… More

We propose to develop for tecom/epg standard test target (stt) technology which will allow evaluation of infrared automatic target recognizer (atr) performance for different targets and backgrounds under a variety of conditions. we describe how the development of stt can exploit current technology… More

One of the more pressing questions regarding future combat systems is whether or not a symbolic relationship between the human operator and one atr process can (a) exceed the target acquisition performance of either by itself, and (b) reduce the total workload on the human operator. the domain of… More

Creative optics, inc. is proposing an advanced system for designing camouflage and deception and for evaluating the resulting target acquisition reduction. in phase i, interactive techniques for target image scaling, target/boundary background correction, target insertion, and target color and… More

Requirements on ATR (Automatic Target Recognition) performance are becoming more stringent. ATR systems are expected to detect, classify, recognize, and even identify, threats with greater accuracy and in less time over an increasing range of scenarios. Similarly, operators in manned combat systems… More

PDRI proposes to develop a computer-administered and scored situational judgment inventory to predict combat pilot performance. Situational judgment inventories present respondents with a series of job-relevant situations and ask them to indicate which of several alternative actions would be most… More

We are proposing an exploratory study to investigate the feasibility of applying innovative fuzzy logic analysis and genetic algorithm technologies to embedded training (ET) and embedded simulation (ES) . We propose to investigate the application of these technologies to optimizing registration of… More
