  4. The Army’s main funding agency for basic research Needs and opportunity driven, primarily fund extramural research Close collaboration with Army Research Lab and other Army organizations Potential ROI Balanced research: near-term, mid-term, and long-term needs ARO Web Site: http://www.aro.army.mil ARO Overview

  5. Driving Force “Heavy forces must be more strategically deployable and more agile with a smaller logistical footprint, and light forces must be more lethal, survivable and tactically mobile. Achieving this paradigm will require innovative thinking about structure, modernization efforts and spending.” - The Chief of Staff, Army23 June 1999

  7. Technology Trends and Opportunities • Miniaturization • Incorporation of more functions into smaller space < 40 lb load ~100 lb load Some Marines Declining Extra Body ArmorAP - Sun Mar 26, 4:20 PM ET < 30 tons 70+ tons

  8. Technology Trends and Opportunities • Time compression • Ubiquitous availability of high performance computing • Real-time information processing and delivery > 40 mph < 10 mph

  9. Technology Trends and Opportunities • Complexity • System of systems: Network science

  10. CISD Thrust Areas • Autonomous Systems • Secure and Robust Information Systems • Networked Information Processing • Research and develop methods to facilitate the creation of networked information systems over band limited mobile, wireless networks. This includes processing of sensor information, multi-hop mobile, wireless communication networks, fusing and interpreting data, and processing and presenting data for decision making. Information includes sensor data, and real-time voice, text, graphics, and video. The focus is on theory and fundamental limits of the problems as well as implementable solutions. • ISP Program Research Areas: • Interpretation of sensor data, including multiple sensor modalities. • Analysis, fusion, reduction, and representation of data for decision making. • Data compression and coding, network and quality of service aware.

  11. Develop image feature extraction and modeling, image/video compression, sensor fusion, and energy efficient processing to provide increased performance and capability for processing signals, data, and information to enhance the warfighters’ decision making, situation awareness, command and control and methods to improve targeting and the performance of weapons systems. Program Goal

  12. Data and information fusion Automatic/Aided target recognition Target acquisition and tracking Video coding for wireless communication Battlefield modeling and visualization Image resolution enhancement Current Coverage
