Title: Image Feature Extraction for Improved EW Classification

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N00014-11-M-0299

Award Amount: $79,998.00

Abstract:
The proliferation of inexpensive radar and communication devices has complicated the target identification problem for modern submarine EW systems. Arete Associates and ARL Penn State propose real-time software called Submarine Multi-Sensor Automatic Target Recognition (SMS-ATR). The approach leverages existing periscope imaging ATR algorithms to allow rapid integration of EW intercept data for robust multi-sensor classification.
