Summary This article describes research to detect phenomena that may degrade or disrupt the performance of an otherwise fully functional sensor. Also examined are methods to potentially mitigate the effects of sensor degradation and develop…
Summary Autonomously detecting tiny, fast-moving objects emitting thermal radiation in the infrared is a challenging technical problem. In addition to being fast, these targets are often dim, small, and in the presence of clutter and…
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In a whirling geopolitical landscape of new nuclear weapons, hypersonic weapons, drones, and satellites, the US is hustling to test new kinds of radars aimed at detecting evolving threats. Many of these…
