FUSION & DISPLAY

As the Navy modernizes its ASW platforms, integrates additional sensor capabilities and strives to improve overall war fighting capabilities, companies such as Adaptive Methods are providing the state-of-the-art, innovative solutions to effectively unravel the complex at-sea Battle Space environment.

Adaptive Methods is the designer, developer, and integrator of the Data Fusion Functional Segment (DFFS) that provides centralized sonar operator workstation for all sensors. DFFS provides interfaces with new high-performance ASW sensors and improved target detection/classification/tracking performance, while reducing operator workload. Introducing DFFS within the modern surface ship USW COTS-based architecture provides a rapid and affordable fleet transition of a unified operator analysis workstation on DDG and CG platforms.

We have built a successful record of integrating Fusion, Contact Management, and Display concepts into working Data Fusion Systems. Our technologies and system architecture are used in: the Navy’s Improved Performance Sonar (IPS) Data Fusion Functional Segment (DFFS) to provide active and passive acoustic sensor contact association with various organic and off board sensor tracks; the SQQ-89 A(V)15 Build 2 as the DFFS which provides TMA and Contact Management functionality; and the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) ASW Mission Package Data Fusion and Contact Management (DFCM) System for inter Mission Module contact association and management.
