NATO TG-25 Joint Field Experiment in Distributed Sensor Networks

摘要

NATO's Task Group (TG-25) on acoustic and seismic sensing is responsible for assessing the potential technologies that can be cooperatively developed and shared within NATO's countries to provide effective, robust and low-cost battlefield sensor systems. The primary emphasis is the concept of Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) for the detection and/or classification of ground and airborne vehicles, artillery and sniper fire. TG-25 has 3 main objectives: (1) to establish acoustic and seismic standards and data exchange procedures, (2) to compare, analyze, exchange, and develop analytical techniques, computational models and signal processing algorithms, and (3) to plan and conduct joint field experiments In this paper, we discuss participation in the joint NATO field experiment conducted in France in October 2002. The experiment's goal was to demonstrate interoperability of unattended ground sensors from various participating nations. Results of the experiments will be briefed and discussed.
