Valuing Persistent ISR Resources

Persistent ISR (PISR) systems are a potential game-changer for asymmetric warfare. Realizing this potential requires delivering actionable information when and where it is needed, while shielding decision-makers from information overload. This paper describes a methodology and prototype system for measuring the military value of Persistent ISR deployments and allocating ISR assets to maximize m...

Using ISR at BABAR

A preliminary analysis of low-energy e+e− collision data produced via initial state radiation (ISR) has been performed using 22f b−1 of BaBar data. The selection of data samples corresponding to the μ+μ−, π+π−, K+K−, pp̄, K+K−π0, 3π , 4π , 5π , 6π , 7π final states accompanied by the emitted ISR hard photon has been demonstrated. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effecti...

ISR: An Intelligent Service Robot

A major challenge in mobile robotics is integration of methods into operational autonomous systems. Construction of such systems requires use of methods from perception, control engineering, software engineering, mathematical modelling, and arti cial intelligence. In this paper it is described how such a variety of methods have been integrated to provide an autonomous service robot system that ...
