Knowledge Aided Sensor Signal Processing and Expert Reasoning (KASSPER)

The Knowledge Aided Sensor Signal Processing and Expert Reasoning (KASSPER) program has as its aim the development and application of a revolutionary new approach to demanding multidimensional adaptive sensor systems, with a near-term focus on military applications of Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) radar and SAR. This workshop will allow the exchange of ideas across the spectrum of R&D activities, including knowledge-aided space-time adaptive processing (KA-STAP), environmental knowledge-base generation and maintenance, and real-time KA embedded computing. The significant progress achieved to date in each of these focus areas prompted this year's theme "The Time is Right", reflecting the abundance of opportunities for knowledge-aided processing in new Department of Defense sensor developments.
