Description

Toyon Research Corp. proposes development of innovative algorithms and sensing concepts for infrared search and target identification for Navy airborne threat applications. Toyon proposes development of Joint Tracking/Identification/Detection (JTID) to provide detection and identification of threats at ranges which are not possible with standard algorithmic techniques. JTID provides near-optimal integration of target signature information to enable high-confidence target declarations in extremely low signal-to-clutter and signal-to-noise conditions in real-world environments. Toyon is teamed with Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, who will be a subcontractor in the proposed effort, and will provide real world imagery from the F-35 DAS and other advanced infrared sensors for algorithm development, testing, and performance evaluation. NG will also assist Toyon in a trade study of passive infrared sensor technologies, infrared signatures for threat identification, and system development, integration, and transition planning.
