This Phase II proposal respond to Technical Subtopic N93-234; exploratory Development: signal Processing, Data Fusion. The overall objective is to investigate the feasibility of using automatic target recognition and cueing (ATR/C) algorithms with multispectral/hyperspectral (MSI/HSI) sensors for UAV applications. While the value of Advanced Airborne Hyperspectral Imaging System (AAHIS) data was demonstrated in Phase I, it is critical to augment the visible/near-infrared (VIS/NIR) for enhanced utility. The following low risk, high payoff Phase II approach is chosen: (1) at no cost to the government, incorporate AAHIS for VIS/NIR HIS, (2) build a state-of-the-art thermal infrared (T/IR) HSI sensor (permitting day/night operation) (3) apply real-time ATR/C algorithms demonstrated in Phase I to both AAHIS and T/IR HSI data, (4) incorporate sensor fusion techniques to the dual mode data, (5) conduct airborne test, (6) evaluate ATR/C performance for both military and commercial applications, and (7) develop a plan for implementing Phase III of the program: incorporation of a dual mode HSI sensor and ATR/C system on board a UAV. Phase II will, in effect, be a "proof of concept" for UAV applications and would be a first-of-its-kind development. This dual mode sensor will represent a major advance in remote sensing technology.
