    DOCUMENTED BRIEFING R Rapid Force Projection Technologies Assessing the Performance of Advanced Ground Sensors John Matsumura, Randall Steeb, Randall G. Bowdish, Scot Eisenhard, Gail Halverson, Thomas Herbert, Mark Lees, John D. Pinder Prepared for the United States Army Office of the Secretary of Defense Arroyo Center National Defense Research Institute Approved for public release; distribution unlimited PREFACE This documented briefing summarizes the research emerging from an ongoing RAND project that has been supporting the Rapid Force Protection Initiative (RFPI) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD). This project was jointly sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research, Development, and Acquisition and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) with the goal of exploring new technology concepts for the ACTD. The focus of this year’s research was on advanced ground sensors—specifically the air-deliverable acoustic sensor (ADAS)—with emphasis on how such sensors might fit into the current RFPI hunter–standoff killer concept. High-resolution simulation was used to examine and quantify many of the key aspects of performance, environmental effects, and military utility. This work has been shared with those involved in the ACTD, including the RFPI ACTD program offices. This work should be of interest to defense policymakers, acquisition executives, concept developers, and technologists. The research was conducted in the Force Development and Technology Program of RAND’s Arroyo Center and the Acquisition Technology Policy Center of RAND’s National Defense Research Institute (NDRI). Both the Arroyo Center and NDRI are federally funded research and development centers, the first sponsored by the United States Army and the second sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the unified commands, and the defense agencies.

In this paper, we propose a system that uses the The Global Positioning System (GPS) is by far the most wireless networking and microphone interfaces of prevalent example of a location system. It uses signals mobile devices to determine location to room-level from synchronized orbiting satellites to calculate a accuracy. The wireless network provides a three-dimensional position relative to Earth’s synchronizing pulse along with information about the coordinate system. There are two issues with GPS that room. This is accompanied by an ultrasound beacon limit its utility in ubiquitous and mobile computing that allows us to resolve locations to the confines of a scenarios.

With strengthened ties to other marine related units at the College Station and Galveston campuses, and significant investments from the University, we are poised to realize our strategic vision to join the nation’s top rank of institutions for oceanographic research and education at public universities. As part of our 2014 strategic planning effort, we have restructured our departmental educational, research and engagement activities into four interdisciplinary areas of strength: Ocean Observing Science and Technology, Marine Ecosystems Science and Health, Ocean Climate, and Ocean Energy. Observations, in a very broad sense, form the baseline for all of our strategic interdisciplinary themes, and are at the core of our vision to transform STEM education through a focus on big data competency.

  • 00 Acoustical Ranging Techniques in Embedded Wireless Sensor Networked Devices
    00 Acoustical Ranging Techniques in Embedded Wireless Sensor Networked Devices PRASANT MISRA, University of New South Wales and Swedish Institute of Computer Science NAVINDA KOTTEGE, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization BRANISLAV KUSY, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization DIETHELM OSTRY, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization SANJAY JHA, University of New South Wales Location sensing provides endless opportunities for a wide range of applications in GPS-obstructed environ- ments; where, typically, there is a need for higher degree of accuracy. In this article, we focus on robust range estimation, an important prerequisite for fine-grained localization. Motivated by the promise of acoustic in delivering high ranging accuracy, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of acoustic (both ultrasound and audible) ranging systems. We distill the limitations of acoustic ranging; and present efficient signal designs and detection algorithms to overcome the challenges of coverage, range, accuracy/resolution, tolerance to Doppler’s effect, and audible intensity. We evaluate our proposed techniques experimentally on TWEET, a low-power platform purpose-built for acoustic ranging applications. Our experiments demonstrate an operational range of 20 m (outdoor) and an average accuracy ≈ 2 cm in the ultrasound domain. Finally, we present the design of an audible-range acoustic tracking service that encompasses the benefits of a near- inaudible acoustic broadband chirp and approximately
