Recent advances in MEMS-based technology offer the promise of rapidly measuring azimuth with high accuracy and in a small, ruggedized form factor. The desired application for this technology is the orientation of weapons platforms (e.g., mortar systems), radar system configuration. The technology should also be suitable as a and-alone navigation aid for soldiers in austere environments. The technology should offer the capability to provide the measured heading to the user or to a host system in which the technology is embedded.

To overcome limitations inherent in conventional image-based targeting systems, (e.g., visible, and conventional thermal vision systems) a polarimetrically filtered SWIR camera system based on new high resolution FPA technology is to be developed.
We define an Electromagnetic (EM) skin as a thin layer of radio frequency (RF) components and/or periodic structures conformed to an Army platform that manipulate radiation or scattering parameters. Thin EM skins will occupy areas designed and shaped primarily for mechanical and environmental functions.

Active imaging systems all require the detection of reflected light, usually through an active source such as a laser. Additionally, commonly fielded single-point range finding technologies lack the capability to ensure that the range for the object of interest is being interrogated rather than an adjacent object in the scene.

This effort explores novel applications of new, state of the art Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) ADCs tightly integrated with advanced FPGAs providing revolutionary increases in wideband direct digital Radio Frequency (RF) sampling. Rapidly changing threat environment with a multitude of signals, both threat and non-threat, in close proximity and covering an ever-increasing swath of spectrum, is an ever-present challenge. This presents the difficult task of assessing and identifying a wide variety of signal types accurately and quickly across an extremely wide range of frequencies.

As per NIST 800-207, one of the basic tenets of Zero Trust is “Access to resources is determined by dynamic policy—including the observable state of client identity, application/service, and the requesting asset—and may include other behavioral and environmental attributes”.
