Battlespace Acoustic, Seismic, Magnetic, and Electric-Field
Sensing and Signatures Committee (BAMS)
Previously the ARL sponsored Acoustics Meeting, the BAMS specialty
group joined IRIS in 1997 and began its evolution into the Military Sensing
Symposium. The BAMS specialty group provides a mixed fora including an
unclassified distribution C forum and a SECRET level classified forum focused
on exploitation of mechanical wave (acoustic and seismic) and field strength
(electric, magnetic, and gravitational) sensors to support military and
homeland security applications. Beginning with theory, modeling and simulation,
the group treats source and background phenomenology, propagation, noise
mechanisms, detection, processing and interpretation. Signal and Information
processing areas covered include beamforming, target detection and tracking
algorithms, noise reduction, target identification, and fusion of inputs from
multiple sensors and sensor/data sources. In the sensors area the group treats
evolving requirements, improved sensor concepts and designs, performance, test
and evaluation, and operational application. A key area of interest is sensor
fusion of disparate sensing types at the node level. Specific applications
covered include unattended ground sensors, persistent surveillance systems,
sensors for robots, weapon mounted, and implanted acoustic sensors; littoral
sensors; sensors on vehicles, airplanes, ships, UAVs and UGVs; acoustic,
magnetic, hybrid and other mine (surface, buried and marine) detection sensors;
tunnel detection sensors; vehicle signature identification; etc.
National Symposium on Sensor & Data Fusion Committee (NSSDF)
The NSSDF conference provides a secure forum for the presentation,
discussion, and dissemination of classified and unclassified foundational,
technological, and application-focused innovations in the sensor, data,
information, and knowledge fusion (SDIKF) scientific domain within the defense,
intelligence, and homeland security communities. NSSDF hosts both SCI and
SECRET level sessions presenting the latest developments in integrated
information operations (fusion) technology, requirements, and programs. Our
intent is to bring together fusion researchers, practitioners, and users of
multisource information from the academic, industrial, and governmental
components of the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security,
and the Intelligence Community, to discuss recent advances and new applications
in sensor
and data fusion that contribute to the defense of the United States.
