Book Acoustic Seismic Ground Sensors for Detection  Localization and Classification on the Battlefield

Download or read book Acoustic Seismic Ground Sensors for Detection Localization and Classification on the Battlefield written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to present different acoustic and/or seismic systems designed and tested by Thales Underwater Systems (TUS) in the past few years, in order to detect, localize and classify a large panel of targets on the battlefield. The presented systems address mainly weapon fire detection and localisation, wheeled and tracked vehicles detection/localisation/tracking and aircraft (helicopters, drones) detection, localisation and classification. Depending on the application requirements, they include either stand-alone acoustic/seismic sensor, or networks of acoustic sensors. Firstly, TUS background is recalled, then drawbacks and advantages of acoustic and seismic system are briefly discussed. Some equipment dedicated to different kinds of battlefield target are then described in terms of operational requirement and implied design drivers for stand alone sensors and, when appropriate, for network architectures of unattended ground sensors. The principles of the signal and data processing implemented are outlined. All processing schemes used in Thales Underwater Systems build upon the synergy between Anti-Submarine Warfare and in-air acoustics, and are consistently focused on reliable automatic false alarm control. Actual implementations of this approach in Thales products and demonstrators are presented as well as some experimental results obtained during different ground tests or operational assessment trials: BACH & BARRE for helicopters, drones and blade propelled aircraft, VEGA/ACSIS devices deployed in UGS-TG25 NATO trials for light/heavy wheeled/tracked vehicles, and BACCARA/SL2A for artillery guns (105-155mm), tank guns (105-120mm) and mortars (60-81-120mm). This paper concludes on the means to build upon these target-focused devices for providing an integrated multi-targets acoustic/seismic remote sensor for passive battlefield monitoring.

Book The Application of Unattended Ground Sensors to Stationary Targets

Download or read book The Application of Unattended Ground Sensors to Stationary Targets written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unattended sensing of stationary (i.e. non-mobile) targets is important in applications ranging from counter-proliferation to law enforcement. With stationary targets, sources of seismic, acoustic, and electro-magnetic emissions can potentially be used to detect, identify, and locate the target. Stationary targets have considerably different sensing requirements than the traditional mobile-target unattended ground sensor applications. This paper presents the novel features and requirements of a system for sensing stationary targets. In particular, issues associated with long-listen time signal processing for signal detection, and array processing techniques for signal localization are presented. Example data and signal processing outputs from a stationary target will be used to illustrate these issues. The impact on sensor, electronic signal processing, battery subsystem, and communication requirements will also be discussed. The paper will conclude with a detailed comparison between mobile-target and stationary-target unattended ground sensor architectures.

Book A Probabilistic Target Classification and Description Model for Seismic Sensors

Download or read book A Probabilistic Target Classification and Description Model for Seismic Sensors written by Mark David Van Kan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unattended ground sensors have a tremendous potential for providing information about battlefield targets, but for the most part this potential has been unrealized. The Marine Corps has recently fielded the Phase V seismic sensors of the Tactical Remote Sensor System (TRSS). These sensors are more sensitive than any of the previous versions, and their potential to provide more detailed target information is also greater than that of previous sensors. The current target classification and description model used by TRSS was developed for sensors which were placed in use in the early 1960's. The model is simple and deterministic in nature, and does not take into account the variance in the sensor system or the variance in sensor performance due to target type, target velocity, soil composition, or other potential factors. This thesis examines the sensor system variance and the effect of target type on sensor performance through field testing and develops an improved model for target description that accounts for these effects. The revised model takes advantage of the measured sensor characteristics to better describe the target, and provides the user with bounds that describe the credibility of the model's estimate.
