Wide area surveillance projectile deployment system design and modeling
… for the military in combat situations. One area lacking in this domain is to rapidly obtain information which is not far from the frontline. For instance, today's military commander would have to deal with a complex hierarchy to obtain information on the enemy's location which is only a few …

Tomographic processing of synthetic aperture radar signals for enhanced resolution
… the radar, is not small. One such application is wide-area surveillance. A methodology is used which has the benefits of a wideband transmitted signal (impulse) and a sensible simulation. Image reconstruction algorithms are developed for monostatic and bistatic systems. Simulation results using …

Rapid-response surveillance system design and aerodynamic modeling
The Rapid-Response Surveillance System (also known as WASP or Wide Area Surveillance Projectile) was developed within the context of the MIT/Draper Technology Development Partnership Project, which had as its aims the development of a first-of-a-kind system within a time-frame of two years and the …

Investigation of curved composite panels under high-g loading
… to investigate the use of composites within the Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP) wing system by specifically studying the buckling behavior of curved composite panels under high-g loading. A finite element model was developed as a design tool to model the original WASP wing as a constant …

Quantitative spectroscopy for detection of cervical dysplasia
… of HSIL in the cervical transformation zone, an area where vast majority of cervical lesions arise. We further successfully extended our point-probe technique into the imaging mode, to provide the wide-area surveillance capability.

MIT/DRAPER Technology Development Partnership Program : systems, aerodeceleration, and structural design of a high-G, rapid response, deployable autonomous aerial surveillance vehicle
… concept generation. and reviews with Draper. the Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP) was chosen as the lead technology demonstration project. The WASP is a gun-launched projectile in the 5"/54 NAVY to 155 mm ARMY class of munitions that transforms into a powered flight vehicle after traveling …

Design and manufacture of a high-G unmanned aerial vehicle structure
… critical battlefield reconnaissance data. The Wide Area Surveillance Projective, or WASP, is a small autonomous flyer, which is launched contained in an artillery shell, and then deployed over the battlefield to capture images. The first phase of this project involved identifying and solving …

Planning and scheduling of concurrent high-level activities for UUV mission operations
… ocean environment. Such activities may include wide area surveillance of a specified region and focused inspection tasks. Concurrent execution of activities allows a UUV to perform portions of different activities that share overlapping regions consecutively to increase vehicle productivity. …

System design for a rapid response autonomous aerial surveillance vehicle
… project was chosen. The selected project, the Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP), called for the development of a small, unmanned aerial vehicle which could be launched from an artillery gun to provide a rapid-response, time-critical reconnaissance capability for small military units or …

Fluorescence endoscopic imaging system for detection of colonic adenomas
… tissue. It is desired to extend this method to wide area surveillance using endoscopically-collected fluorescence images. Methods: An analytic model was developed to determine the number of photons collected endoscopically in terms of system parameters. This model was used to design a prototype …

Shape memory alloy induced wing warping for a small unmanned aerial vehicle
The Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP) is a gun-launched unmanned aerial vehicle designed to be carried as payload in an artillery shell. Due to the 15000 g shock sustained during gun launch, conventional ailerons are too fragile to be a reliable means of roll control for the aircraft. For …

Scene Monitoring With A Forest Of Cooperative Sensors
… First, the observations of an object are often widely separated in time and space when viewed from non-overlapping cameras. Secondly, the appearance of an object in one camera view might be very different from its appearance in another camera view due to the differences in illumination, pose and …

Person Re-identification and an Adversarial Attack and Defense for Person Re-identification Networks
… person ReID, which is important for security and wide-area surveillance applications as well as human computer interaction systems. In order to continuously track targets across multiple cameras with disjoint views, it is essential to re-identify the same target across different cameras. This is a …
