OPERA TOPIC 2 Statement of Objectives (SOO)

1.0 OBJECTIVES: Contract/Topic 2

Multi-sensor Physics Based Saliency: The program will lead to and develop new technology designed to identify salient electromagnetic (EM) scattering signatures and physics-based feature attributes (i.e. such as velocity, material properties, volume, shape, etc.) that are essential for separating targets in the exploitation algorithm’s feature space. In addition, work under this program should develop companion technology that links these salient components in signature or feature space to physical attributes on the targets chosen by the offeror for ease of access and testing.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS Task Order 1:

The contractor shall plan, accomplish and manage the tasks set forth below:

2.1 Scientific investigations and engineering analysis of two or more sensors

2.2 Sensor/ Signature modeling and simulation efforts in a laboratory or virtual environment

2.3 Develop a loosely coupled capability for multi-sensor measurement, processing, modeling and analysis methods to support present and near term recognition applications.

2.4 Development of prototype recognition algorithm based on discoveries for concept demonstration

3.0 DATA/DELIVERABLES

Deliverables for this effort shall consist of the following data items, as a minimum: test plans, users’ manuals, status and financial reports, and a final report. Contractor may propose additional data requirements that are necessary to manage the effort.
