4Concept of OperationsPrimary Effort
- Problem
- Too vast an area for limited personnel resources
(mobile guards) - Hostile actions
- Destruction (explosives)
- Damage to pumps and transformers
- Stripping of copper power lines (for pumps)
- Operational Need
- Reliable automated surveillance to detect
movement in security zone - FY04 Experiment
- Sense movement of personnel and/or vehicles
toward the pipeline - Track the movement and the stop/start of movement
Pipeline
Damage in Iraq

6CONOPSRelated Efforts
Similar Long, Linear, Static Structures
Enemy Observation Point (OP)
- Surveillance of Supply Routes
- Detect potential ambush sites
- Personnel w/shoulder fired weapons (e.g., RPGs)
- IEDs
- FY04 Experiment
- Sense movement of personnel/vehicles toward
supply route, and then - They remain near a point
- They remain for a while and then leave
- Sense suspicious movement on the road

8CONOPSRelated Efforts
Similar Long, Linear, Static Structures
- Border Surveillance
- Detect illegal border crossings
- U.S. Customs
- Military operations in Iraq
- FY04 Experiment
- Detect movement of personnel/vehicles across area
adjacent to a border

11Preliminary Program PlanTechnology Transition
- Transition Partners
- Transition Process
- Joint DARPA/Partner identification of operational
challenges and potential solutions - DARPA development of technical solution to
operational challenges - Joint evaluation of technical solution
- Joint Memorandum of Agreeement (MOA) / Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU)
12Experiment Site Characteristics
- Relatively flat, open area
- Easy for observers to see large section of
experiment site - No forests
- No large physical obstructions to line-of-site
comms - Relatively good weather (little rain, light
winds, etc.)
13Final Demo Experiment Sites
- Candidate Sites
- Naval Air Weapons Facility, China Lake
- 150 miles NE of Los Angeles
- Encompasses 1.1 million acres of land in
California's upper Mojave Desert, ranging in
altitude from 2,100 to 8,900 feet - Varies from flat dry lake beds to rugged piñon
pine covered mountains. - Weather should be consistent
- Summer will be hot
14WPAFB Experiment Site
The area in the red ellipse is the one for the
test range. It is approximately 7500 x 2500.
15Another improvised view of the area.
16OSU Experiment Site
- Don Scott Airfield North Runway area .5km x
.5km - Internal Testbed Space Candidates
- North Rec Centre (floor)
- Warehouses in Kinnear or Goodale area (may have
to pay for space)
