Title:
|
The changing landscape of human performance - future
sensing paradigms In all human endeavors, there is a desire to push
the limits of human performance - operations within the Air Force
are no exception. From aviation to ground operations, traditional
stressors such as fatigue are being compounded by the need to process
ever-increasing amounts of information. This deluge of information
caused by sensor and bandwidth proliferation makes human-intensive
operations, such as decision making, increasingly complicated. Traditional
approaches to alleviate this problem have relied upon increases
in manpower (the "brainpower") to sift, prioritize, and
act upon this mountain of information. Increasingly, the Department
of Defense and the Air Force are realizing that this solution is
untenable. Within the Human Performance Wing, we realize that advances
in the biosciences, e.g., neuroscience, and nanoscience and engineering,
e.g., nanoparticle assays, are keys to pushing human capacity past
traditionally accepted limitations. This talk will examine this
frontier and outline efforts to reach novel, multi-disciplinary
approaches to redefine human performance. |

Title:

Making a Molehill out of a Mountain: How we Ignore
Information In War at Our Own Peril Clearly this is the information
age and an era of unprecedented change, but what does it mean? Will
the trends continue indefinitely? Or will they hit a technological
wall similar to what happened with aviation in the 1960's? Even
if these trends continue, will they keep making profound changes
to our life and society? How do they affect our security? |

Title:

Simultaneous Tracking and Identification for Persistent
Surveillance Persistent surveillance involves intelligent monitoring
and sensor exploitation of a geographical area for situational awareness,
behavioral analysis, and site security. In this talk, we will highlight
developments in simultaneous tracking and identification (STID)
methods from radar, electro-optical, and hyperspectral imagery and
signals to provide a common operating picture (COP) to the user.
In a net-centric, layered architecture, we highlight the need for
pragmatic user involvement, multi-modal information fusion, and
standard evaluation metrics to provide tracking and identification
of all targets in the area of interest. |
