Abstract: |
Here we develop an automated organic submarine multi-sensor data fusion capability for that meets Submarine Tactical Group Requirements. Our approach to this employs a hybrid fusion system employing a blend of Hard Association, XMAP, and Soft Association, JPDA, combined with Metron's advanced particle filter based multi-target tracker, NodestarPLUS to provide a fully automated, but operator supervised, fusion process for submarine combat systems. To initiate tracks we use our latest advancement in Intensity Filters, iLRT. Our ITK/TRK framework fully exposes to operator the underlying "staff-work" being performed by automation in a manner that allows him full supervisory oversight of the process. |
Benefits: |
The system when brought to fruition will allow the submarine Command Team to allocate more of their knowledge, skills, and abilities to performing the mission by reducing the time required to formulate the tactical picture. |
