Abstract

The tactical and urban warfare community has a significant need for up-close sensing capability along with increased sensing coverage. The recent availability of small, inexpensive, light weight, and low power sensing nodes is providing the means to cover an area with a distributed network of remote intelligent sensors. Utilizing local node information combined with information from neighboring nodes is a significant challenge. An even bigger challenge is making use of meta-knowledge and tasking a cluster of nodes to cooperate on a task specified at a very high level. This paper provides a survey of collaborative signal processing considerations and techniques that can be used with a distributed network of smart sensor nodes to improve target detection, identification, localization, and tracking. Factors for system design are discussed, along with an example application.
