Intelligent Surface Threat Identification System (ISTIS)

Stottler Henke in conjunction with the US Navy has developed and continues to enhance the Intelligent Surface Threat Identification System (ISTIS). ISTIS improves the surface threat ID process, quality, and efficiency in the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Surface Mission Module. This improved performance includes better use of scarce ID resources, better ID estimations from available information, sooner ID determinations, ID accomplished at a greater range, prevention of ID "surprises", and improved operations in more complex environments. Other LCS applications and other ship types can also benefit from the techniques.
