Abstract
An Aided Target Recognition System (ATR) is provided wherein the recognit abilities of two ATR sensor subsystems with mutually exclusive false alarm characteristics are fused by a decision circuit to provide an improved false alarm rate versus the probability of target detection. The sensors, which respond to different types of radiation, have different false alarm patterns for the same set of targets and a decision circuit which contains logical function elements to exploit the difference in these patterns.
