Facial recognition software (FRS) is a form of biometric security that detects a face, analyzes it, converts it to data, and then matches it with images in a database. This technology is currently being used in vehicles for safety and convenience features, such as detecting driver fatigue, ensuring ride share drivers are wearing a face covering, or unlocking the vehicle. Public transportation hubs can also use FRS to identify missing persons, intercept domestic terrorism, deter theft, and achieve other security initiatives. However, biometric data is sensitive and there are numerous remaining questions about how to implement and regulate FRS in a way that maximizes its safety and security potential while simultaneously ensuring individual’s right to privacy, data security, and technology-based equality.

This paper describes modeling and simulation technologies used to simulate the electrical systems of Army vehicles using Matlab/Simulink coupled with graphical user interface software. The models were built using Mathworks' Matlab/Simulink software in conjunction with the SimPowerSystems Toolbox, a toolkit provided by Mathworks that provides models of basic electrical components such as capacitors and inductors, in addition to more advanced components such as diodes and IGBT's. The current results of this ongoing effort are presented and discussed.

The current system requirements for the power management subsystem and ground combat vehicles for the Future Combat System require higher power and voltages for greater energy efficiency, advanced mobility, lethality and survivability. Efficient and reliable electrical power management is an essential capability within current force ground combat vehicles and will become even more important with the increased electrical power demands of future force vehicles which will exceed the capabilities of onboard power generation/storage technologies. This paper describes how to meet the aforementioned power distribution challenges through the development of a power management software interfaces standard that will provide the flexibility required by various programs and vehicles yet still provide a consistent framework for software development providing a consistent environment for all future Army programs.

Conclusions based on the airborne experiments with laser radars are summarized in this paper. Details of the equipment and the flight procedures will be displayed during the oral presentation at the conference.
