An Automated Data Fusion Process for an Air Defense Scenario

Abstract

The use of Brazilian airspace by aircrafts involved in illegal activities led the Brazilian National Congress to approve a law authorizing the destruction of such aircrafts in 2004. With this new attribution, the Brazilian Organizations responsible for police activities reached their management limit due to the growth of the amount of information and more complex rules that they need to manipulate in order to decide on the engagement in a constraint time situation. This paper presents a simulation and decision support model based on Petri Net that ensures the implementation of all procedures required in the process of the airspace policing. A Domain Ontology represents the various concepts involved and their relationships. The relationships among the ontology elements are normalized by rules of inference. A set of experiments has been carried out to validate such an automated data fusion process.
