Distributed sensor networks
Abstract
Progress on the Distributed Sensor Networks program is reported. Topics covered in the sensor area are the performance of acoustic sensors, sizing of acoustic front-end computation requirements, feasibility of adapting packet radios to perform as radar sensors, and a preliminary investigation of IR options. In all cases, the targets considered were low-flying aircraft or cruise missiles. Progress is reported in the area of decision theoretic surveillance space search methods of multisite detection and on specific algorithms to locate targets using two acoustic sites. Results of a preliminary parametric sensor and system cost analysis are given.
