New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program: Management Sciences Inc. (Final Report)
Sandia National Laboratories will, as time and budget allow, perform the following tasks as part of a New Mexico Small Business Assistance (NMSBA) Program project for Management Sciences, Inc. (MSI): 1. Set up a thermal radar in Sandia's Technical Area (TA) III test bed. 2. Collect alarm data from the thermal radar and a radio frequency (RF) radar during simulated intrusion tests to estimate detection performance, based on the Department of Energy (DOE) threat definition. 3. Collect nuisance alarm data caused by weather and non-intruder-related stimuli, to estimate nuisance alarm rate performance. 4. Provide data to the requester, allowing them to process the data. 5. Provide the requester, as a stretch goal, with live radar and thermal radar sensor feeds, allowing real-time processing of the RF radar and the thermal radar. A key technical issue that will influence the success of this activity is the range accuracy of the thermal radar. If issues are encountered, Sandia will work with the requester to correct the range issues.
