Enhanced Data Collection for Condition-Based Maintenance Battlefield Surveillance Ground sensors detect and communicate movements of enemy forces to scout vehicles.
Scout vehicles confirm the detections and relay the information to the command post.
This work has significantly advanced night-time range detection. Furthermore, it can be used to simulate the performance of air-dropped passive acoustic ground sensors, generating valuable information pertaining to the placement and use of tactical decision aids for soldiers. The SHMs also maintain a library of machine health information for each component. Such a system would allow bearing problems to be identified earlier, reducing operating expenses and unexpected failures and have a wide variety of applications. It addresses issues pertaining to diagnosing the current state of mechanical systems and predicting the systems' remaining useful lives.
