ABSTRACT: In Phase I, PRA working with FLIR modified the command and control (C2) software for their Ranger series of perimeter surveillance radars to meet requirements for flightline boundary surveillance. These radars are ideal for this mission with a 30 cm range resolution, >97% probability of detection, and low false alarm rate (less than 3 per 24 hours). The C2 software was modified to allow ...

This effort investigates two specific technologies to detect and monitor structural damage from high-energy impacts and blasts. The two technologies include directional transducers and structural retrofitting concepts. The directional transducers localize impacts, and enable subsequent in situ assessment of structural integrity while minimizing sensor count, electronics complexity, and signal proc ...

The objective for this effort is to develop a single software foundation for use in the Armys mobile/handheld, mounted, and command post environments. The long-term goal is to design and build a single software foundation that can be used across these environments. This software environment must be flexible enough for use with both new and legacy systems, in contexts where bandwidth varies widely, ...
