The NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Sensors & Electronics Technology Panel (SET) Research Task Group SET 322, led by Paul Thomas (DSTL, UK), has officially concluded its work on “Evaluation Framework for Tracking and Fusion algorithms.”
The group held its final meeting at DSTL Portsdown West, Portsmouth, UK from 3 to 5 March 2026, marking the end of an intensive three year collaborative effort.
This multinational effort brought together specialists from defence research labs, academia, and industry from 12 NATO countries and 2 NATO agencies, to develop methodologies and comparative evaluations for next generation tracking and fusion capabilities.
Scientists contributed expertise across target tracking, multi sensor fusion, algorithm evaluation, metrics definition, and practical benchmarking, targeting specific uses cases on maritime, drone tracking, passive radar, space domain awareness and air-to-air.
SET 322’s achievements highlight the value of sustained international cooperation in advancing defense sensing technologies and provide a strong foundation for subsequent collaborative research within the Alliance.
CS Group participated through the CS Research Lab with Benjamin Pannetier, Pierre Pathe and Anne-Laure Jousselme.
A big thank you to all SET 322 participants and to Paul Thomas for his leadership and dedication!
