Abstract: The system and method of removing burn-in from full motion video (FMV) imagery. In some cases, the technique is a pre-processing step in a forensic or military application. The system and method identify one or more burn-in overlay areas in a full motion video image and creates a mask of the one or more burn-in overlay areas. Matched intensities are created for a plurality of pixels in a mask. In some cases, in-painting is used in a center portion of the full motion video image and order-filtering in used on a periphery of the full motion video image to create the matched intensities.

Abstract: The system and method represents a high-resolution, three-dimensional, multi-static precipitation RADAR approach that employs agile microsatellites, in formation and remotely coupled, via a new high-precision, ultra-low power, remote timing synchronization technology. This system and method uses multi-static RADAR interferometric methods implemented via a microsatellite formation to synthesize an effectively large (e.g., 15 m) aperture to provide about 1 km horizontal resolution and about 125 m vertical resolution in the Ku-band.

Abstract: A method for launching a round from an airborne platform, receiving a plurality of RF signals at the round, determining an amount of time between a first and second received RF signal, where the second signal is a multi-path signal and the first signal is a direct path signal. An altitude of the round is determined based on the delay between the first and second received signal and aligning the round's flight path with an initial velocity vector of the aircraft platform to reduce dispersion. The round can include a plurality of sensors for detecting the RF signals. The second received RF signal may be a multi-path signal having been reflected off of the earth's surface or another object on the earth's surface. The altitude of the round can be determined using the known altitude of the airborne platform, the delay of time between the first and second received signals, and the speed of light.

Abstract: A narrow band antenna is configured to guide a munition toward a target location during a flight of the munition from a launch location toward the target location. The antenna has a first mode of operation operable during a first portion of the flight at a first bandwidth, and a second mode of operation operable during a second portion of the flight at a second bandwidth, the second bandwidth being a harmonic of the first bandwidth, and may be a third harmonic of the first bandwidth. The method includes transmitting a target location information to the munition in the first bandwidth during the first portion of the flight and then transmitting the target location information to the munition in the second bandwidth during the second portion of the flight. The first band may be X-band and the second band may be Ka-band.

Abstract: The system and method of using an ultra-short pulse mid and long wave infrared laser. The system is seeded with a 2 μm laser source having a pulse duration in the femtosecond range. The beam is stretched, to increase the pulse duration, and the beam is amplified, to increase an energy level of the laser beam. Both mid wave IR and long wave IR seed beams are first generated, and then amplified via one or more optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification stages. A compressor may be used to compress one or more of the output beams to achieve high peak power and controllable pulse duration in the output beams. The output beams may then be used to create atmospheric or material effects at km range.

Abstract: A method of assessing the effectiveness of an electronic countermeasure (ECM) applied against an unknown, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes monitoring changes in a radar-associated factor while applying the ECM and determining if the ECM is disrupting the hostile radar. The radar-associated factor can be a weapon that is controlled by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining whether the weapon is misdirected due to applying the ECM. Or the radar-associated factor can be a feature of an RF waveform emitted by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining if the feature is changed due to applying the ECM. Continuous changes in the feature can indicate unsuccessful attempts to mitigate the ECM. Return of the feature to a pre-threat state can indicate disruption of the radar. The ECM can be selected from a library of countermeasures pre-verified as effective against known threats.

Abstract: A method of selecting and optimizing a countermeasure for application against a novel, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes selecting a candidate countermeasure and an initial parameter set and varying at least one of the parameters while the effectiveness of the candidate countermeasure against the radar threat is assessed, for example by a human observer. Embodiments include repeating the process with additional candidate countermeasures. For an unresponsive radar threat, a previously effective countermeasure can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. For an ambiguous radar threat, at least one countermeasure previously verified as effective against a partially matching known threat can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. Correlated parameters can be simultaneously varied. An optimization surface and trajectory formed by a plurality of correlated parameters can be identified by machine intelligence, used to guide the parameter variations, and/or stored for use against the same or similar threats in the future.
