Abstract:
SPECTRA RESEARCH, INC. PROPOSES TO RESEARCH AND SYNTHESIZE ADVANCED COVERT MULTI-SPECTRAL IFF CONCEPTS WHICH EMPLOY UNIQUE LOW COST DISCRIMINATION TECHNIQUES TO DETECT AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFY FRIENDLY FORCES. THE PROPOSED INTERROGATING SENSOR OPERATES ON A COMBINATION OF PASSIVE NON-COOPERATIVE EMISSIVE RADIATION AND BACKSCATTER AUGMENTED BY NON-RADIATING COOPERATIVE MULTISPECTRAL RETROREFLECTIVE IFF DEVICES. THESE DEVICES EMPLOY DIGITALLY ENCODED MULTISPECTRAL EO/IR AND RF RETROFLECTION TO ASSURE HIGH ACCURACY, ROBUSTNESS, AND LOW INTERCEPT NON-COMPROMISING OPERATION. THIS COMBINATION OF NON-COOPERATIVE AND COOPERATIVE ENCODED MULTISPECTRAL RETURNS PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL, SECURE SENSOR SOURCE DATA FOR OPERATIONS OVER A BROAD SET OF ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. NEURAL NET SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES WILL FUSE THIS DATA TO ENHANCE RELIABILITY OVER THIS DIVERSE SET OF OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS/POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS - THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS DIRECT APPLICATION TO THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR INCLUDING MONITORING OF TRANSPORTATION, MANUFACTURING, SHIPPING, AND INVENTORY RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION.Small Business Information at Submission:Principal Investigator:
