The contemporary operating environment (COE) imposes significant challenges for military personnel and systems. The asymmetric nature of the threat and the proliferation of sophisticated weapon systems to rogue nations and trans-national terrorist organizations only further the need to ensure friendly forces maintain a high-level of warfighter readiness. As this threat evolves the importance of higher-level...
Information fusion is a key factor for insuring information superiority in various military and civil surveillance systems. Military applications may be found in air defence, force and convoy protection, and combat management systems for naval ships. Coastal and urban surveillance, air traffic control, and Harbour protection address more civil areas. A new aspect in all these applications is the issue...
The exploitation of bistatic Doppler measurements for multistatic tracking is considered. It is found through simulation, that, while the velocity estimation of the standard extended Kalman filter is improved in monostotic situations and multistatic situations where measurement errors are small, a degradation in performance is observed in multistatic situations where the measurement errors are realistically...
MacDonald Dettwiler is leading a PRECARN partnership project to develop an advanced simulation testbed for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Network Enabled Operations in a coastal large volume surveillance situation. The main focus of this testbed is to study concepts like distributed information fusion, dynamic resources and networks configuration management, and self synchronising units and...
DSTO Australia concluded a two year research program in March 2006 that demonstrated distributed, autonomous, self-organising stand-in sensor and effector systems. This paper describes research activities from this program including the development of miniaturised sensor and effector payloads, the development of novel algorithms for the fusion of data from distributed sensor payloads and the development...
Achieving superior situation awareness is a key task for military, as well as civilian, decision makers. Today, automatic systems provide us with an excellent opportunity for assisting the human decision maker in achieving this awareness. Due to the potential of information overload one important aspect is to understand where to focus attention. Anomaly detection is concerned with finding deviations...
