Tender Description

Novel methods to improve the optical detection, recognition and identification of above water objects using near sea surface sensors.

This R&D activity seeks to identify novel methods and technologies that improve, ideally via the use of automating, aspects of the detection, recognition and identification of above water objects utilising the sensors mounted in a submarine's periscope, however, other novel covert methods should also be considered.

The objective is to improve performance under challenging sea-air boundary conditions. Proposed methods must be cognisant of detectability, as well as Size, Weight and Power (SWAP). The R&D may consider enhancements to systems and sensors, and incorporation of state of the art technologies in terms of machine vision/cognition.
