NSWC Dahlgren Division Automates Target Detection and Tracking for Army’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle
February 12, 2021
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. – Several potential targets walk in an urban setting as Intelligent Tracker automatically generates their optical target tracks. The Intelligent Tracker – a new product developed by Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) – will increase the Army’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle’s intelligent fire control capability to control its medium and large caliber weapon systems. Optical target tracks are generated automatically for use in direct fire weapon systems. The tracks are used in conjunction with a fire control system to lock onto a specific threat, easing the burden on the operator. Intelligent Tracker is capable of automatically generating target tracks for a wide range of targets and adding additional automation to the weapon control processes. (U.S. Navy image/Released)
