Remote Sensing Center Intelligence

The RSC benefits from the secure facilities at NPS. Having the ability to process classified data with an on-site, fully equipped Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility allows students and faculty to pursue lines of research and work with technologies unavailable to the public.

(Bottom Right) This MEMS project is the research focus of Dr. Gamani Karunasiri, a faculty member of the RSC.

The sustained efforts of fully funded graduate students, both military and civilian with an average of 8- 10 years of field experience, have conducted research in an array of topics related to remote sensing.

Current projects include:

  • Helicopter Brownout (terrain classification) using National Technical Means (NTM)
  • Maritime Domain Awareness (ASW)
  • Snow/Ice study with UCSB using NTM
