BOSTON FUSION CORP — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: The Rapid Identification of Space Objects using Multisensor Signatures (RISOMS) program wi

Description

The Rapid Identification of Space Objects using Multisensor Signatures (RISOMS) program will develop, evaluate, and transition an innovative multisensor signature-based capability to rapidly establish and maintain positive identification on space objects. In the Phase I program we will: (1) develop an integrated algorithmic approach to exploiting multi-sensor signature data in space object identification; (2) design an initial concept framework of an end-to-end space object identification system that takes optimal advantage of, and enables, the signature-based approach; (3) perform a data-driven investigation for object signatures to validate the RISOMS approach; (4) extend the analysis and algorithms to include multiple sensors, beyond those traditionally associated with the Space Surveillance Network (SSN); and (5) investigate the algorithm design and system performance issues related to the exploitation of sequences of sensor observations versus single observations. The results of the Phase I program will demonstrate the feasibility and promise of the systems concept to be realized in Phase II.
