Research abstract
Metron proposes to improve and extend the Likelihood Ratio Tracking (LRT) algorithm developed in Phase I for detecting unauthorized swimmers. We will leverage extensive experience in developing LRT in various, successful Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) applications. The Phase II research and development effort may be partitioned into two broad areas: improving and extending the LRT algorithm developed in Phase I for swimmer detection, and designing and implementing LRT to meet the operational demands of a real swimmer detection system. The overall technical objective in Phase II is to transition LRT into a component of a real swimmer detection system such as the AN/WQX-2 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) system.
