Description

We will leverage existing IR&D and SOCOM’s SAM funded Artificial Intelligence (AI) and atmosphere turbulence development. SAM currently detects vehicles and people and recognizes faces and license plates along the ground plane in the Electro-Optical (EO) spectrum. EVP-AI extends SAM’s neural networks based object detection (OD) vantage point to an AF environment including Space Force satellite based ISR systems.  Phelps2020 will deliver a revolutionary video enhancement (VE) and AI capability to provide the AF a leap ahead capability to counter near-peer threats. EVP-AI is a novel implementation of our TRL 9 Crystal VE capability while extending and integrating the results of the SAM development. EVP-AI extends SAM to space environments with high look angles. EVP-AI will provide Airmen the ability to prosecute the enemy in a high-end fight thus fully leveraging all of the sensor’s capabilities.
