Description
Mission — Persistent Geophysical Sensing-Infrasound Adv Tech
This Project matures and demonstrates kitted hardware and software solutions that provide passive, persistent, non-line-of-sight, multi-modal sensing capable of providing fused battlefield intelligence for increased situational awareness in a dynamic operational environment. These technologies provide near-real-time data collection, processing, and alerting on evolving cross-domain threats including strategic and tactical fires, air and ground platforms, as well as critical transportation infrastructure (bridges) and explosive events with applications for deep sensing. These technologies deliver time-critical intelligence for engineer and intelligence communities to provide decisive advantage. Work in this Project complements Program Element (PE) 0602182A (C3I Applied Research) / Project CX4 (Persistent Geophysical Sensing-Infrasound Apl Tech). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed at the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Environmental Laboratory, and Information Technology Laboratory.

Mission — Enabling Long Standoff 3D (ELS3D) Adv Tech
This Project will integrate and demonstrate and mature a low size, weight, and power (SWAP) laser transmitter, processing algorithms and calibration models tailored for higher resolution 3D data collections over larger areas from longer stand-off for mapping, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and targeting.
