Smart Sensor Web: Web-Based Exploitation of Sensor Fusion for Visualization of the Tactical Battlefield
نویسنده
چکیده
Smart Sensor Web (SSW) is a recent DUSD(S&T) initiative inspired by extraordinary technological advances in sensors and microelectronics and by the emergence of the Internet as a real time communication tool. The overall vision for SSW is an intelligent, web-centric distribution and fusion of sensor information that provides greatly enhanced situational awareness, on demand, to Warfighters at lower echelons. Emphasis is on multisensor fusion of large arrays of local sensors, joined with other assets, to provide real-time imagery, weather, targeting information, mission planning, and simulations for military operations on land, sea, and air. This paper gives an overview of this new initiative, highlights some of the technology challenges in Sensor/Information Fusion, and presents a program approach for near-term demonstrations and long-term solutions, involving the DoD, National Labs, commercial industry, and academia.

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

متن کاملTactical Spacecraft Commanding Service Architecture
he application of tactical spacecraft or satellite constellations in support of warfighters has tremendous benefit in a dynamic battlefield environment. Today warfighters must queue behind a long list of higher-priority requests and wait for scarce opportunity to access space-based assets. By the time the information collected becomes available, it is often obsolete and has little tactical valu...
