High Speed Representation of Complex Scenes

JRM and DVC propose to develop an innovative approach for on-the-fly (OTF) 3D scene synthesis and physics-based sensor rendering of complex battlespace environments directly from GIS source data at HWIL frame rates (100-400Hz). This approach will carefully address all the requirements for MDA, including: underlying spectral synthesis, proper phenomenology for solar reflections, glint and thermal emission, architecture for integration with FLITES, propagation JNICs network for real-time scene generation for algorithmic processing for targets, false alarms, etc. The team will leverage current OTF product technologies of DVC"s GenesisRT and JRM"s SigSimRT COTs products. In the Phase I effort, JRM and DVC will: (1) Survey/Assessment of current industry and MDA tools and techniques for physics-based scene simulation, (2) Assess the MDA requirements for physics-based signatures and atmospherics, (3) Assess the JNIC"s network requirements, (4) Develop an algorithmic and software design plan for Phase II implementation using the Surveys in 1-3, (5) Develop a proof-of-concept demonstration of OTF complex scene construction and sensor rendering at 200Hz
