 | (U) THIS PAPER DESCRIBES AN ARTIFFICIAL PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE, AND THE PROCESSING STEPS FOR THIS ARCHITECTURE, BASED ON NATURAL MAMMALIAN PROCESSING. ADDITIONAL LEVELS OF FUSION, INCLUDING BOTH FEATURE AND DECISION LEVEL FUSION, ARE EVALUATED TO IMPROVE A SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE TARGETS FROM CLUTTER. THE TECHNIQUES USED TO PROCESS SONAR DATA FOR NAVAL APPLICATIONS IS CONSIDERED FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL USES, WITH A POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVING DETECTION, OR TO FUSE DATA FROM ... |

| (U) THIS PAPER DEVELOPS A SYSTEM WHICH FUSES TWO OR MORE SENSOR SIGNALS TO GENERATE A FUSED SIGNAL WITH AN IMPROVED CONFIDENCE OF TARGET EXISTENCE AND POSITION. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES GAIN, CONTROL, AND FUSION UNITS, AND INCLUDES AN INTEGRATION UNIT. THE GAIN CONTROL AND FUSION FUNCTIONS SUPPRESS THE FUSED SIGNAL'S RESPONSE TO LOW LEVEL SIGNALS, BUT ENHANCES RESPONSE TO HIGH LEVEL SIGNALS. THE GAIN SIGNAL IS GENERATED FROM SIGNALS INTEGRATED ... |

 | Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) has developed a novel neural network-based sensor fusion system, inspired by the architecture of biological sensor fusion systems. The project performed research into the nature by which information from multiple sensors is fused by the central nervous system and developed a biological model for the process. Based upon this model we developed a system which fuses two or more sensor signals to generate a fused signal ... |

| AAC has commenced work with funds provided in October on tasks E. 1 "Improved SSGM," E. 1.1 "Add New Modules," E. 1.3 "Expand SSGM Databases," and E.2 "Develop System Architecture." Attachment 1 contains the tasks that support the above paragraphs of the SOW. Funding for this project was received in October 1997. Due to lack of funds from July through September 1997, no work was performed during that period It ... |

| During this reporting period we supported NRaD in the completion of the 'TACAIR Concept of Operations and Technology Plan for Communications and Decision Aids'. We continued development of the 2D visualization for the JFAC anchor Desk. Data structures for representing the routes have been developed. Routes information can now be loaded from a mission file and displayed. The animation engines have also been developed which will allow various mission to ... |

| During this reporting period we commenced the Phase II efforts by developing some of the key Real time Retargeting Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for tactical aircraft. A draft copy of the CONOPS for TACAIR was sent to Naval Strike & Air Warfare Center for their review and comment. Initial comments from NSARC were favorable and written documentation of their comments are due in December 96. Visualization concepts to support Real ... |
