Approach

• EO and GMTI sensors sample urban/suburban/ rural transition in pre-defined “activity regions”

• Coordinated ground activity with sixty instrumented vehicles and dismounts unfolds in EO/GMTI fields of view

• Post-exercise analysis to understand handover as a function of GMTI visibility, traffic density, and sensor and target parameters

Ground Truth Database Raw Counts

Drivers 60

Tracks 500

Activities (e.g. cache visit)

Events

(e. g. arrive at cache site)

GPS Points 1.8 million

⇒ High-quality ground truth data-base will be essential component of Bluegrass analyses

Way Ahead

• Derive algorithms and system requirements for EO-GMTI handover

• Transition algorithms and system requirements to theater

– Real-time high-value target tracking

– True wide-area persistent surveillance

⇒ Bluegrass payoff: Exploit multiple information sources to unravel threatening activities and networks over large urban areas
