Advanced Object Classification (AOC) 1.1 is a software upgrade for Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWR) that will improve classification of objects in the midcourse phase of ballistic missile flight. AOC 1.1 will build off improvements made to UEWR classification achieved through development and fielding of AOC 1.0. While testing and fielding AOC 1.0, the Government identified minor algorithm opportunities as well as Interface Control Document-driven updates that must be incorporated into AOC 1.1. Additionally, the Government envisions AOC 1.1 will have a flat-file classification database that can be re-configured without re-compiling software changes. This capability will enable AOC rapid reconfiguration to address emerging threats without requiring the Government to return to the developer for software updates, assessments, or other modifications. AOC Overview: Contains 37 algorithms increasing object classification accuracy against complex threats with countermeasures Uses machine learning to improve overall classification results Requires no change to radar hardware, waveforms, pulse scheduling, or Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Fire Control (GFC) interface message format Core Capabilities: AOC 1.1 will incorporate additional algorithm updates and enhancements beyond AOC 1.0 to further improve object classification accuracy and system performance. REQUESTED INFORMATION: Respondents to this RFI are invited to prepare and submit the following: Describe your experience with threat object classification for ballistic missile defense during the midcourse phase of flight, specifically as it relates to Radio Frequency (RF) phenomenology. In your response, discuss the types of RF features you have analyzed or exploited to distinguish between objects. Additionally, elaborate on the classification algorithms you have developed or implemented, the types of data (simulated or measured) you have worked with, and any challenges you have encountered in a...
