Network Centric Sensing and Engagement

Abstract

The Network Centric Sensing and Engagement program developed technology and tools to support small unit situational awareness, rapid targeting, and precision engagement in highly-networked environments. Network-centric sensing acknowledges a group of sensors as a system and leverages networked intercommunication to enable system performance superior to that of uncoordinated individual sensors. The program uses organic reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition data to update tactical users and planners over multiple echelons with critical environmental and operational information. Required technology advances include: sensor-to-sensor communications, multi-sensor management, sensor system georegistration, real-time data fusion, advanced tracking, and network-centric sensor operational modes. Technologies will transition to small tactical units in irregular operations.
