Abstract

The Multi-source Report-level Simulator (MRS) is a tool developed by Veridian Systems as part of its Model-adaptive Multi-source Track Fusion (MMTF) effort under DARPA's DTT program. MRS generates simulated multisensor contact reports for GMTI, HUMINT, IMINT, SIGINT, UGS, and video. It contains a spatial editor for creating ground tracks along which vehicles move over the terrain. Vehicles can start, stop, speed up, or slow down. The spatial editor is also used to define the locations of fixed sensors such as UGS and HUMINT observers on the ground, and flight paths of GMTI, IMINT, SIGINT, and video sensors in the air. Observation models characterize each sensor at the report level in terms of their operating characteristics (revisit rate, resolution, etc.) measurement errors, and detection/classification performance (i.e., P_d, N_fa, P_cc, and P_id). Contact reports are linked to ground truth data to facilitate the testing of track/fusion algorithms and the validation of associated performance models.
