Analysis of Adaptive Data Fusion Approaches within LM Canada's Technology Demonstrator

Abstract

Lockheed Martin Canada (LM Canada) has developed a Technology Demonstration environment that over the last decade has been used to demonstrate initial proof-of-concept and then analyze various approaches for enhancing overall Data Fusion system performance for applications to Canada's defence programs. It has a blackboard-based architecture that permits the mix of rule-based and algorithmic approaches, which can be useful in the implementation of higher level fusion capabilities. Various aspects of these efforts, such as fusion architectures, algorithms, and information sharing strategies between multiple collaborating platforms, have been presented previously. This paper presents current on-going efforts toward the analyses of concepts for level 4 fusion (i.e., methods for adapting fusion processes based on tactical and environmental factors).
