Abstract:

The Army Advanced Concept Technology II ACT II program demonstrated an enhanced combat identification capability to the Forward Area Air Defense System by measuring the unique vibrational signatures of airborne targets as discriminants. The engagements were conducted during the Air Defense Battle Lab Support Elements Live Experiment II Exercise in which fixed-wing aircraft, rotor-wing aircraft, and a simulated unmanned air vehicle were engaged, classified, and identified as friend or foe.
