The pilot study objectives were to ascertain preliminary ideas on how signature management technologies might contribute in a network centric warfare perspective, as well as to identify future research directions. Another purpose was to introduce project managers at FOI to the network centric warfare doctrine and to find the consequences in their area of expertise respectively. The report describes a survey of dimensioning scenarios, sensors and future sensor networks, different technologies for low observables and the need for assessment tools. Finally, the role of signature management technologies in different scenarios is discussed. The scenarios of interest have been international operations, urban warfare and a generalized network centric warfare scenario. Preliminary conclusions concerning the direction of future research are presented. The new scenarios, with a diversified sensor threat and varied operational environments, means new challenges for the signature management technology, such as multi spectral solutions and adaptability to different backgrounds. The need for a convertible low signature mode in exposed situations was emphasized. Some research areas that have been identified are: Assess signature management technologies in relation to other protective measures. Bi- and multi static radar signatures. Adaptive surfaces (materials and constructions that allow an adaptive signature). Techniques that allow a fast change between high- and low signature. Signature management for protecting sensor apertures. Modeling tools to predict signatures in new environments.
