Description
In this proposal, IFT presents an RF and EO/IR mixed sensor system for human target detection and geolocation. It is low SWaP and low cost. Thus, sensors can be easily integrated on small UXV (UAV or UGV). Due to the application of a novel ranging technique, a high ranging accuracy is obtained with a low complexity transceiver and transponder system. In a small region, very high localization accuracy can be obtained. IFTs rich experience in cooperative and non-cooperative target localization greatly reduce the rick in the project implementation. The system can be applied in indoor and outdoor environment as long as three or more platforms have their location determined. Its deployment is convenient. Its application possibility including various DOD missions, such as terrorist searching, small scale street combat, and civil applications, such as disaster rescue, search and recovery, and agricultural augmentation of automatic target/vehicle surveillance.
