| 20090015460 | Radar visibility model - A land-based Smart-Sensor System and several system architectures for detection, tracking, and classification of people and vehicles automatically and in real time for border, property, and facility security surveillance is described. The preferred embodiment of the proposed Smart-Sensor System is comprised of (1) a low-cost, non-coherent radar, whose function is to detect and track people, singly or in groups, and various means of transportation, which may include vehicles, animals, or aircraft, singly or in groups, and cue (2) an optical sensor such as a long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensor, whose function is to classify the identified targets and produce movie clips for operator validation and use, and (3) an IBM CELL supercomputer to process the collected data in real-time. The Smart Sensor System can be implemented in a tower-based or a mobile-based, or combination system architecture. The radar can also be operated as a stand-alone system. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110025549 | TRACKING COORDINATOR FOR AIR-TO-AIR AND AIR-TO-GROUND TRACKING - A method and system for coordinating air-to-air tracking and air-to-ground tracking for an airborne tracked target that is landing or performing an airdrop. Air-to-air tracking data is analyzed to detect if the tracked target is landing, and a predicted landing location is computed. An air-to-ground sensor is activated, via a separate air-to-ground tracking module or via a mode change, and the air-to-ground tracking is initiated at the predicted landing location of a detected target. Both automated and manually-assisted air-to-ground activation are supported. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110115668 | METHOD AND APPARATUS USING NON-CONTACT MEASURING DEVICE TO DETERMINE RAIL DISTANCE TRAVELED - A non-contact, distance traveled measurement system (DTMS) to calculate speed and distance traveled by a vehicle over rails—more specifically, by trains traveling on standard railroad tracks. Preferably, a pair of short range (near field) microwave-based transmitters/sensors (transceivers) are mounted on the underside of the train and used to key on rail-bed features such as cross ties or tie plates. Preferred embodiments also include infrared sensors as a redundant channel that is less sensitive to moisture in the track bed. Data from the sensors is correlated to determine the time delay between the first and second sensors' passage over objects on the rail bed such as cross-ties or tie-plates. From this time delay, nearly instantaneous velocity can be computed at each given target such as a tie plate (metal target) or a tie (dielectric contrast target). Velocity versus time curves can be integrated over time to derive distance traveled. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20120062410 | MULTI-BAND SEEKER WITH TILTABLE OPTICAL/RECEIVER PORTION - A seeker/receiver system for a moving body, such as for guiding the moving body to a target, includes an optics/receiver portion that tilts as a unit relative to other parts of the moving body. The optics/receiver portion includes a window which may be used to enclose and protect one or both of a pair of receivers or detectors, such as a laser energy detector or receiver, and an infrared energy detector or receiver. By moving the window and the receivers as a unit a set positional relationship is maintained between all of the elements of the optics/receiver portion. This simplifies the optics by obviating the need for all aspects of the window to present the same properties to energy detectors that tilt relative to it. The optics/receiver portion may be tilted using a tilt mechanism such as a gimbal. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20140062758 | INTELLIGENT DETECTION OF BURIED IEDS - A surveillance system includes a multi-propeller aircraft having a main propeller and a plurality of wing unit propellers; a housing that houses the main propeller and the wing unit propellers; an optical video camera; an ultra-wideband (UWB) radar imaging system; a control system for controlling flight of the multi-propeller aircraft from a remote location; and a telemetry system for providing information from the optical camera and the ultra-wideband (UWB) radar imaging system to a remote location. | 03-06-2014 |
