Research abstract
Not Available ALPHATECH proposes to design, implement, and demonstrate an Integrated Battlefield Visualization System (IBVS) that will use information fusion and cultural feature cross-cueing techniques to enhance warfighter situation awareness. IBVS will correlate and maintain multiple ground target tracks based on: cultural features (trafficability and hospitability), sensor reports (leveraging Multiple Hypothesis target Tracking (MHT) techniques), and kinematic models (relating target types to cultural features). ALPHATECH proposes to demonstrate this concept using simulated brigade-level tactical intelligence reports (e.g., Communications Intelligence (COMINT), Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Electro Optic/Infra-red (EO/IR)), High Resolution Range (HRR), and Moving Target Indicator (MTI). The IBVS objective is to track and display these simulated targets in real time on a digital map. ALPHATECH's experience in tracking, information fusion, and product development minimizes overall program risk. We are / have been key contractors for efforts involving: multiple hypothesis tracking, force pattern analysis, force level aggregation, target kinematic models, human-computer interface design, and Global Command & Control System (GCCS) mission application development. Our role as researchers and developers for the Army, DARPA, and AFOSR will promote cross-fertilization of ideas, while minimizing potential duplication of effo
