Abstract
An aircraft-based multisensor system consisting of forward-looking and down-looking sensor suites has been developed. Sensors which have been evaluated in this system include CO2 and near-IR laser radars, long-wave passive IR extending to 12 micrometers , and an 85.5 GHz millimeter wave (MMW) radar. Sensor descriptions are presented along with example imagery. The goals of this continual effort are deeper understanding of the data characteristics, including realistic phenomenology, and the delivery of co-registered, multi- dimensional sensor data for the development of detection and classification algorithms.
