ASI Intelligent Systems Combine Sensors
with External Data Sources Why Wait?
FY2034 Unmanned Vehicle Sensor Solutions Are Available Today! The DoD FY2009-2034 Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap lists four prioritized capability needs of the Warfighter:  | Reconnaissance and Surveillance | | | Target Identification and Designation | | | Counter-Mine and Explosive Ordinance Disposal | | | Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Reconnaissance | In order to achieve these four capabilities not only sensors are needed but the ability of an intelligent system to interpret the sensor readings and integrate senor information with other information to give a correct situational assessment. ASI has extensive experience in creating fully autonomous, collaborative intelligent associate systems that can address these four robotic capabilities. ASI understands that unmanned vehicles carry extra sensors at a cost. With intelligent systems fewer sensors are needed to correctly assess the situation and take correct actions. Intelligent systems can share highly compact knowledge to improve situational awareness. ASI systems work best with many information feeds in dynamic environments. Multiple onboard sensor readings and total system information can be correlated to reduce both false negatives and false positives. When information is missing the intelligent system can initiate actions to collect critical data needed to insure proper decisions and actions are taken.
For example ASI’s SensorShield™ system provides an advanced CBRN sensor analysis network with decision support that directs mobile vehicles to sample a region of no or questionable data, and correlates information from external sources including weather, terrain, threat levels and current human activities to determine the nature of the hazardous material release and direct actions to reduce human exposure and provide prompt remedies of those already exposed. ASI systems are designed to deal all aspects of sensor data fusion ASI systems incorporate the expertise and knowledge of domain experts. Knowledge can be added easily to extend the intelligent systems capabilities without extensive software rewrites so systems are never out-of-date and can respond to changing enemy tactics. Robotic systems are no longer exposed to detection and attack since ASI systems allow human-like assessment and decision making onboard the unmanned vehicle so signatures remain low. Only highly compact intelligence is communicated to the entire system in short burst transmissions. Why wait for 2034?
