  • System and method for YATO/YANTO classification
    Patent number: 12272117
    Abstract: A passive sensor is used in conjunction with a trained machine learning classifier to make a You Are The One/You Are Not The One (YATO/YANTO) classification or determination as to whether an object, such as a threat, is moving toward a platform. The trained machine learning classifier utilizes a feature vector generated from conditioned temporal data and angular data obtained from passive sensor carried by the platform.

  • System and method for non-navigation data in platform routing
    Patent number: 11756434
    Abstract: A platform with an auto-router takes into account non-navigation data, such as IR image sensor data or other non-navigation data to develop a route for a platform. The non-navigation data may be obtained from existing non-navigation sensors carried by the platform. The non-navigation data is fed to an auto-router that takes into account the non-navigation data to generate or dynamically alter a route for the platform.
