The augmentation of imaging systems with synergistic non-imaging systems such as a microdoppler ladar has provided tactical combat systems with a beyond visual range capability for combat identification. The microdoppler technology has matured through technology feasibility demonstrations as part of the Navy's Low Probability of Intercept Advanced Technology Development program (92-'96) and Army's Advanced Concept and Technology II (ACT II) program (97). An overview of the Army ACT II will be discussed. The microdoppler ladar system is now being transitioned onto operational systems in the Precision Targeting and Identification Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration program (98-'02). Under the Precision Targeting and Identification Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (PTI ACTD), a prototype system for airborne production will be tested at the Maui Space Surveillance Site as a visiting experiment in FY 2000. Due to the need to extend the metric and space object identification capabilities of the MSSS, the augmentation of the Advanced Electro Optical System (AEOS) with a microdoppler capability using the existing system is being investigated and results for measuring microdoppler signatures of satellites out to 3000 km will be presented. Incorporating such a capability in AEOS will also provide DoD with an excellent test bed for future Space, Endo, and Ground Microdoppler signature and is crimination/classific ation/identification experiment.
