Target Detection and Weapons
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The modern detection process involves more than the location of possible targets by the sensors of the ship. Before sensor information from your ship (or other ships) can be fully used by the weapons system, it must first be processed. Processing involves the extraction of data concerning the course of the target, speed, bearing, range, identity as friend or foe, and type of target (air, surface, or subsurface). This information is called target data and it is processed by the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS). The NTDS function is central to the modern detection process, so we will describe it first-then we will describe the types of sensors that supply the data to the NTDS.

Remote Detection of Weapons of Mass Destruction using Wideband Radar
Gamma and neutron detection are typical methods used for detection of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). However, radiation related to gamma-rays can be easily shielded. Moreover, environmental conditions affect the efficiency of current methods for detection of fissile materials, and also reduce the range of detection. Here, a wideband target recognition method is proposed with the ability to ...

متن کاملTHz Standoff Detection and Imaging of Explosives and Weapons
Recently, there has been a significant interest in employing Terahertz (THz) technology, spectroscopy and imaging for standoff detection applications. There are three prime motivations for this interest: (a) THz radiation can detect concealed weapons since many non-metallic, non-polar materials are transparent to THz radiation, (b) target compounds such as explosives, and bio/chemical weapons h...

Over the past 5 years, there has been a significant interest in employing terahertz (THz) technology, spectroscopy and imaging for security applications. There are three prime motivations for this interest: (a) THz radiation can detect concealed weapons since many non-metallic, non-polar materials are transparent to THz radiation; (b) target compounds such as explosives and illicit drugs have c...
متن کاملTowards a principle for the human supervisory control of robot weapons*
The aim is to explore the delicate balance between human reasoning and the legal requirements for the appropriate supervisory control of robot weapons. We start by examining the limitations of automatic versus aided target recognition and then review some of the relevant psychological literature on reasoning. A new framework is introduced that reframes autonomy/semi-autonomy in terms of levels ...
