COURSE OVERVIEW

Over the past decade, we have witnessed the development of several key technologies that have successfully merged to form remote sensing systems addressing applications previously thought too complex, too expensive, or simply not capable of being observed at the level required. MEMS-based sensors have undergone significant refinements that have led to highly capable sensor systems that perform target detection, discrimination, and tracking. Equal in significance have been advances in miniaturizing inertial navigation components and injecting geolocation capabilities, to allow for both static and mobile applications.

To complete the system construct, note that data communication chipsets have advanced in parallel and have been successfully merged with sensing technologies to become effective components of widely distributed sensor systems. Middleware has become the “glue” that holds these functions together to form powerful sensing solutions to a host of problems. Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) System Training course will present fundamental sensing equations that describe sensor system performance for optical (infrared/VIS passive and laser radar), RF (including ultrawideband, UWB), and acoustic.

The Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) System Training course will provide the underlying probability theory and derive performance equations for these sensor technologies. Scalability is presented to address the one-to-thousands of sensor node systems. Techniques will be provided that combine sensor and system, functional component models, enabling the student to embark on specific design strategies and/or evaluation of existing systems. The Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) System course includes an example of Python code developed to examine optical sensor performance and case studies of existing sensor systems to provide insight into system limitations and considerations (development and operation costs, and complexities) that arise in real-world remote sensor system deployments.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) System Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • Terminology associated with of critical terms associate with sensors, sensor technologies, sensor system performance, and assessment evaluation.
  • Identification of key performance parameters via sensor design equations
  • How to adapt, and successfully use, underlying performance equations associated with sensors and sensor systems.
  • What are the critical performance parameters, and their rank-order into importance for sensor/system success?
  • Examples are reviewed (Bernoulli trials, Poisson statistics, memoryless systems) to provide tangible evaluation of sensors in real-world (stochastic) applications.
  • How to interpret and analyze ISR system requirements at the subsystem and overall system levels. This includes the process of generating system design objectives and key performance parameters (KPPs).
  • To develop and use existing evaluation “tools” to evaluate limitations and capabilities exhibited by ISR system(s), end-to-end.
  • Which sensor technologies provide what capability, including how imagers (EO/IR), radar, laser radar, and other sensor modalities function within tactical ISR systems.
  • How to consider false alarms while maintaining an acceptable level of detection probability via working the “trade-off space”.
  • Design rules associated with object detection, tracking, and identification.
  • How to manage distributed ISR assets and implement successful exfiltration of vital sensor data products to users that require such (actionable timeliness).
  • How to support seamless integration of ISR system(s) to situational analyses and common operating (COP) architectures, such as C2PC or Falcon View.
  • Which effective set of “analysis” tools exist that can aid in evaluating ISR components, systems, requirements verification (and validation), and/or effective deployment and maintenance of an ISR system.
  • Discussion of standards that provide value-added capabilities, including sensor harmonization and sensor web enablement (SWE) technologies.
