The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is in a unique position to question traditional sensing architectures and concepts while possessing both the charter and funding to explore and develop the technologies necessary to accomplish both existing and desired applications. This paper describes the logical flow from the need for long-term tracking of an extremely large number of vehicles in an urban environment, through the fundamental requirements and the application to the phenomenology tradespace.
