Data Fusion
Abstract
E-2D Data Fusion and Fighter to Fighter Backlink are complementary capabilities to be integrated together, therefore, Fighter to Fighter has been incorporated as part of Data Fusion Phase 2. E-2D Data Fusion Phase 1 provides a fusion engine to blend all on-board sensor derived track data (e.g. Electronic Surveillance) with already blended radar, Identify Friend or Foe and Cooperative Engagement Capability track files, enhancing situational awareness and tactical decision making. Successful E-2D NIFC engagements depend on a clear/unambiguous tactical picture and the shortest possible decision pipeline. Planned for DSSC-4. E-2D Data Fusion Phase 2 provides a fusion engine to blend all off-board tactical data (e.g. Satellite Receiver System data, Fighter to Fighter backlink data) with already fused on-board tracks from the E-2D Data Fusion Phase 1 effort. Completing the Data Fusion of all track sources available to E-2D greatly enhances situational awareness and tactical decision making. Integrating Link-16 Network Participation Group 20 messages which improves interoperability between E-2D and participating US Navy fighters, including 5th generation aircraft. This enhances the combat effectiveness of the E-2D, increases situational awareness and shortens kill-chain timeliness (including NIFC). Planned for DSSC-5
