Aided Target Recognition (AiDTR) Enabled Sensor Systems

Since the inception of night vision devices, C5ISR NVESD has been a leader in developing and fielding technologies for U.S. Army combat vehicle applications and is currently conducting market research and trade studies of aided target recognition (AiDTR) enabled sensor systems to defeat threat vehicles and personnel. The purpose of an AiDTR enabled sensor system is to increase the Soldier's ability to detect, classify, identify and to assist in some forms of tracking mounted and dismounted near peer threats and give the vehicle commander options to increase the lethality of an individual tank or infantry fighting vehicle. NVESD is seeking input from industry for innovative AiDTR enabled sensor systems that will significantly reduce operator workload while maintaining or exceeding the probability of detection and maintaining or lowering the false alarm rate of threat vehicles and personnel by a trained crewmen. This RFI will specifically address the AiDTR, sensor(s) and operator display that provides a Soldier with threat information. Although no specific threshold or objective specifications related to compatibility with infantry fighting vehicle and tank interfaces are included in this RFI (such as size, weight and power), technology solutions shall either accommodate existing U.S. Army equipment or demonstrate how the proposed solution will supplant such equipment.
