Device for Measuring Performance and Defects in Binocular Displays

Not Available We propose to design a new 3-D targeting system for reduced manning of Combat Information Center Support. The system will provide an enhanced-confidence, more accurate device for use with existing and future combat systems. We will develop a biologically inspired 3-D video processing system to accurately capture the physical scene and objects within the scene; to construct a 3-D view of the captured scene; and to provide range information for any target within the scene. The 3D view of the scene and all the objects within the scene will provide the operator with a photo-realistic view of the area of interest. In Phase I, a laboratory prototype unit will be constructed to demonstrate feasibility of the proposed concept. Our commercial partner, Lockheed Martin, is the integrator of the Aegis Combat System and a leading contender for the integration role on the DD-21 and CVX platforms. Lockheed has teamed with SIS, Inc. to jointly develop advanced 3-D targeting techniques for surface ship combat systems. We intend to leverage the results of this SBIR contract into a commercial offering that Lockheed will sell to other Government agencies as well as to commercial market.
