Improved situational awareness is a primary goal for the Objective Force. Knowing where the enemy is and what are the threats to his troops provides the commander with the information he needs to plan his mission and provide his forces with maximum protection from the variety of threats that are present on the battlefield. Sensors play an important role in providing critical information to enhance situational awareness. The sensors that are used on the battlefield include, among others, seismic, acoustic, and cameras in different spectral ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. These sensors help track enemy movement and serve as part of an intrusion detection system. Characteristically these sensors are relatively cheap and easy to deploy. Chemical and biological agent detection is currently relegated to sensors that are specifically designed to detect these agents. Many of these sensors are collocated with the troops. By the time alarm is sounded the troops have already been exposed to the agent. In addition, battlefield contaminants frequently interfere with the performance of these sensors and result in false alarms. Since operating in a contaminated environment requires the troops to don protective garments that interfere with their performance we need to reduce false alarms to an absolute minimum. The Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC) is currently conducting a. study to examine the possibility of detecting chemical and biological weapons as soon as they are deployed. For that purpose we conducted a field test in which the acoustic, seismic and electro-magnetic signatures of conventional and simulated chemical / biological 155mm artillery shells were recorded by an array of corresponding sensors. Initial examination of the data shows a distinct differences in the signatures of these weapons. In this paper we will provide detailed descriptions of the test procedures. We will describe the various sensors used and describe the differences in the signa

Tracking of moving objects based on multi-sensor input is a topic that has received considerable attention, and has been the subject of many papers. As web-type capabilities have emerged, along with ever-improving wireless communications capabilities, coupled with the needs of various applications to include "Network-Centric Warfare" on the part of the military, research on distributed multi-object, multi-sensor tracking has received some attention in recent years. However, the study of these distributed problems at the complete-architecture level, accounting for (among yet other factors) organizational information-sharing protocols, dynamic network topologies, mixes of stationary and moving sensors, complex object dynamics, equipment failure modes, node-specific tracking algorithms and data fusion algorithms, does not seem to have been addressed in any "holistic" way. This paper addresses these issues and describes an integrated testbed being developed at the University at Buffalo's Center for multisourceinformationfusion for the empirical study of these complex architectures involving, in essence, the interconnection of multiple systems.

Growing demand for better sensing and monitoring systems and for more effective means of processing the increasing flow of information has led to the wider implementation of multisensor.data fusion techniques. With the recent rapid developments in sensor technology and in the advanced methods of signal and data processing, multisensor.data fusion is becoming one of the most important new techniques to be used in many military, industrial and commercial applications. This article offers a brief overview of the fusion area illustrated by several examples of established techniques, their limitations, proposed new solutions and other new developments.
