COBRA ATD Mineflield Detection Model Initial Performance Analysis

摘要

A statistical performance analysis of the USMC Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA) Minefield Detection (MFD) Model has been performed in support of the COBRA ATD (Advanced Technology ADemonstration) Program under exection by the Naval Surface Warfare Center/Dahlgren Division/Coastal Systems Sensor (NSWC/DD/CSS). This analysis uses the Veidian ERIM International (V-ERIM) MF model from the COBRA Sensor Performance Evaluation and COmputational Tools for mines and minelike clutter objects. These mine detection response distributions were generated from actual COBRA ATD test missions over litto4ral zone minefields. This analysis serves to validate both the utility and effectiveness of the COBRA MFD Model as a predictive MFD performance tool. COBRA ATD minefield detection model algorithm performance results based on a simulated baseline minefield detection scenario (minefield configuration, flight path, and sensor configuration) are presented, as well as results of a MFD model algorithm parametric sensitivity study.
