Real-time threat evaluation in a ground based air defence environment

Performance Evaluation of a Multiprocessor in a Real Time Environment

Real-Time Detection of Threat

Government agencies, personnel security professionals, and our military services are faced with new challenges to rapidly assess the credibility of statements made by individuals in airports, border crossings, secured facilities, and a variety of environments not conducive to prolonged interviews. The changing environment has become more global and threats lie not just in the securing of an env...

Agent-Based Modeling of Day-Ahead Real Time Pricing in a Pool-Based Electricity Market

In this paper, an agent-based structure of the electricity retail market is presented based on which day-ahead (DA) energy procurement for customers is modeled. Here, we focus on operation of only one Retail Energy Provider (REP) agent who purchases energy from DA pool-based wholesale market and offers DA real time tariffs to a group of its customers. As a model of customer response to the offe...

The Impact of Digital Display on Ground-Based Air Defence Command Post

The impact of access to information through advanced information and communication technology was assessed in a study involving the Ground-Based Air Defence Command Post (GBAD CP). At present the GBAD CP obtains information about aircraft and their movements by HF radio. In the study, digital data was directly transmitted to the GBAD CP. Its effect on the situation awareness (SA) of the Command...

Real Time Stereo Based Obstacle Detection for UAV Threat Avoidance

We present a system for UAV obstacle detection on embedded hardware based on Sarnoff Corp's Acadia I vision processor for 23Hz 640x480 binocular stereo and 10Hz mincut based recursive bipartition of an affinity graph. We briefly describe the system architecture, followed by performance results on simulated imagery, indoor and outdoor imagery, and flight experiments.
