Detection and Tracking of Moving Vehicles and Dismounts Across the LandSea Boundary

Detection and tracking of moving vehicles and dismounts across the land-sea boundary is very challenging because of the highly complicated dynamic heterogeneous littoral clutter environment. LSI proposes knowledge based adaptive signal processing techniques that will ultimately sense the dynamics of the clutter environment to maximize minimum discernible velocity performance, and hence detection and tracking performance of low RCS slow moving targets. The proposed signal processing techniques will be evaluated for robustness to limited sample support and computational efficiency, and overall baseline performance will be quantified with very high fidelity simulated data in Phase 1.
