Abstract
Infrared Imaging has played a vital role for US Army for tactical ground and air operations over the previous decades. High-confidence image-based scene segmentation and object detection will be foundational in increasing the tempo of operational decision making for Army scouting, surveillance, and threat detection systems. New hardware and software solutions to increase the first-look confidence of imaging sensor systems, and the self-awareness of these sensors to their own limitations, will be critical for the success of future Army air and ground system programs. This paper will review current and future technical challenges and priorities for Army tactical imaging sensors for operational autonomy.
