The basic approach employed
by SUM STREAK
toward developing
a prototype operational

is to locate personnel

In many
of
the operational
projects,
however,
ground
truth
is usually not
known
(or
is only partial ly
known).
Consequently,
complete evaluation
of
the viewer's data
cannot,
be made until
a later
time when ground truth does become
available.

Some
of
these project categories can overlap.
For
example,
prediction data
is also an aspect
of
most
of
the CN,
many
of
the CT and
a few
of
the S/T projects.
The prediction
