Multi-sensor data correlation, target tracking, and information fusion for comprehensive situational awareness.

Black River has extensive experience developing multisensor data association and correlation techniques for multi-target tracking with false and ghosted detection management, plus dissimilar sensor fusion capabilities.

The company's tracking algorithms utilize advanced filtering methods for target localization and data association while handling significant track-to-measurement complexity. Solutions incorporate sensor bias estimation, multiple sensor types, and asynchronous measurement handling. Applications span ground vehicles, aircraft (from small UAS to fighter jets to widebody aircraft), surface ships, and hypersonic missiles.

The tracking systems process infrared, electro-optic, radar, electronic warfare, signals intelligence, acoustic, hyperspectral, and threat warning data. Their primary offering is the Baseline Road Assisted Tracker (BRAT) suite — a multi-target, multisensor solution used by hundreds of daily operators processing Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) radar data from numerous platforms.
