The Volume Sensor prototype consisting of regular and long wavelength video cameras with machine vision, spectral sensors, and microphones integrated with data fusion and alarm algorithms was evaluated for improved situational awareness in a full-scale test. The test series evaluated the prototype sensor suites and alarm algorithms onboard the ex-USS SHADWEIL. The tests established the detection system performance with regard to various fire and nuisance sources, pipe ruptures, and environmental conditions that may occur onboard ship. The integration of the Volume Sensor components into a functioning prototype was a success. The individual components identified the events and communicated their alarms to the Fusion Machines. The Fusion Machines incorporated data fusion algorithms that synthesized information from the sub-system components to improve performance. The Fusion Machine performed very well, demonstrating the ability to discriminate against nuisance sources and to alarm to smoldering and flaming fires and to pipe ruptures.
