The capabilities of tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) payloads are expanding from single sensor imagers to integrated systems-of-systems architectures. Increasingly, these systems-of-systems include multiple sensing modalities that can act as force multipliers for the intelligence analyst. Currently, the separate sensing modalities operate largely independent of one another, providing a selection of operating modes but not an integrated intelligence product. We describe here a Sensor Management System (SMS) designed to provide a small, compact processing unit capable of managing multiple collaborative sensor systems on-board an aircraft. Its purpose is to increase sensor cooperation and collaboration to achieve intelligent data collection and exploitation. The SMS architecture is designed to be largely sensor and data agnostic and provide flexible networked access for both data providers and data consumers. It supports pre-planned and ad-hoc missions, with provisions for on-demand tasking and updates from users connected via data links. Management of sensors and user agents takes place over standard network protocols such that any number and combination of sensors and user agents, either on the local network or connected via data link, can register with the SMS at any time during the mission. The SMS provides control over sensor data collection to handle logging and routing of data products to subscribing user agents. It also supports the addition of algorithmic data processing agents for feature/target extraction and provides for subsequent cueing from one sensor to another. The SMS architecture was designed to scale from a small UAV carrying a limited number of payloads to an aircraft carrying a large number of payloads. The SMS system is STANAG 4575 compliant as a removable memory module (RMM) and can act as a vehicle specific module (VSM) to provide STANAG 4586 compliance (level-3 interoperability) to a non-compliant sensor system.

The utilization of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) applications continues to increase and unmanned systems have become a critical asset in current and future battlespaces. With the development of medium-to-low altitude, rapidly deployable aircraft platforms, the ISR community has seen an increasing push to develop ISR sensors and systems with real-time mission support capabilities. This paper describes the design and development of the RASAR (Real-time, Autonomous, Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensor system and presents demonstration flight test results. RASAR is a modular, multi-band (L and X) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging sensor designed for self-contained, autonomous, real-time operation with mission flexibility to support a wide range of ISR needs within the size, weight and power constraints of Group III UASs. SAR waveforms are generated through direct digital synthesis enabling arbitrary waveform notching to enable operations in cluttered RF environments. RASAR is capable of simultaneous dual-channel receive to enable polarization based target discrimination. The sensor command and control and real-time image formation processing are designed to enable integration of RASAR into larger, multi-intelligence system of systems. The multi-intelligence architecture and a demonstration of real-time autonomous cross-cueing of a separate optical sensor will be presented.

We propose a new camera configuration for automotive surround view systems where the criteria for which the camera mountings are optimized is derived not from visualization, but optimal depth measurements. We show that based on special algorithmic processing [1] it is feasible to achieve 3D reconstruction in almost the complete surrounding of the car. In order to accomplish this, more than 4 cameras are required and the positions have to be carefully selected. An analysis of the proposed configuration is performed with regard to the field of view overlaps and we show that the estimated depth is good compared to reference measurements conducted with a lidar sensor.

The technical progress illustrated by the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), online platforms, NBICs, autonomous expert systems, and the Blockchain let appear the possibility of a new world and the emergence of a fourth industrial revolution centered around digital data. Therefore, the advent of digital and its omnipresence in our modern society create a growing need to lay ethical benchmarks against this new religion of data, the "dataisme".
