Scientist

Project: Multi Sensor data Fusion software for AKASH SAM System and Group Command Center (GCC) simulator for BCC.

Environment: C, C++, Window XP, Lynx RTOS, C & VME Backplane Communication Multi Sensor data fusion software is the master software on the Battery Command Center (BCC) controlling the AKASH Surface to Air Missiles, where in the information given to commander sitting at the console, should be able to see and take decision based on the real time threats of the targets. The target reports are coming from two sensors viz. Battery Level Radar (BLR- Fire control radar) and Battery Surveillance Radar (BSR) which need to be fused & presented to commander as one target in consolidated complete air picture. The fusion process is combination of correlation and association process. The data seen at BCC should also be sent to a master GCC using serial communication in real time.
