General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, has been awarded the Target Recognition and Advanced Identification Development and Evaluation (TRAIDE) contract by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The contract is valued at $20 million over a 64-month period of performance.
General Dynamics will conduct operational and technical analyses of advanced combat identification systems to determine which technology concepts perform best in realistic Air Force missions. This includes defining combat identification requirements, assessing operational effectiveness of combat identification technologies, planning and conducting ground and flight data collections, developing target recognition algorithms, developing and populating signature data bases, and supporting transition of combat identification technologies and systems to the warfighter.General Dynamics and its predecessor companies in Dayton have been doing related work for the Air Force Research Laboratory since 1997. |
