US Navy mine detection flight assessment
The first updated systems flight test for the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Panama City has been successfully conducted.
The test, the first in a series of 44 flights scheduled for 2010, marked the completion of a year long multi-phased software/algorithm update to improve ALMDS detection performance.
“Primary focus of the program over the last year has been on software/algorithm upgrades to improve the probability of detection and classification, as well as to decrease false contacts - each are critical system performance parameters,” said Danny Georgiadis, ALMDS assistant program manager. “The government/industry team significantly improved the automatic target recognition algorithms which contribute to improved performance. This first flight is a monumental milestone as we prepare the program for operational evaluation in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.”
