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)

NSWCDD Scientists and Engineers Develop IDS Tech Refresh for Delivery to the Fleet Despite Pandemic
February 8, 2021
IMAGE: NORFOLK, Va. – A Sailor from a Navy visit, board, search and seizure team is collecting a subject’s biometrics via fingerprints for possible subject identification in the Identity Dominance System (IDS). The system – to be upgraded with a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD)-developed IDS technology refresh in fiscal year 2021 – collects biometrics such as face, finger, and iris images, and enrolls that information into a local database to match against known persons of interest. Once the information has been captured, the system sends the information back to the authoritative database. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, NSWCDD scientists and engineers transitioned to telework while developing software in support of a complete technology refresh focused on modifying the IDS form factor to be smaller and lighter with an enhanced system performance that increases computing power, speed, local matching and communications capabilities.
