Main_Body_Multi: SET-286 Research Task Group (RTG) Second Meeting on Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Threats in Urban Environments, 10-11 March 2021, virtually

Operations planning, protection of critical infrastructures, wide-area persistent surveillance, and protection of on-the-move soldiers rely on electronic sensing capabilities and predictive models. Buildings, ground structure, and micro-climates of urban areas create unique channel effects that impact all sensing modalities. Acoustic and seismic signals can be detected outside the line-of-sight, a necessity in an urban environment. As such, acoustic and seismic sensing, in possible combination with electro-optic and electro-magnetic sensing, offer methods for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) in urban areas. Taking this into consideration, the SET Panel has established a Research Task Group (RTG) on Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Threats in Urban Environments to enhance electronic signature collection capabilities of threats in hostile urban environments through collaborative research on urban environmental effects on signals and applied machine learning methodologies for threat localization and classification.  SET-286 RTG will culminate with a multi-national field experiment in a representative urban environment to provide critical real-world data. Threats that will be investigated include direct and indirect fires, ground vehicles, and low-altitude aerial vehicles. The second meeting of the SET-286 RTG was held virtually on 10-11 March 2021. For further information, please contact the SET Panel Office.
