Developing a Model for Simplified Higher Level Sensor Fusion

Abstract

Mulitsensor data fusion (MSDF) has been researched for decades yet programs relying on it to provide a situational, or threat, assessment continue to be less than successful. In order to alleviate the too-much-information, too-few-analysts issue, a better approach must be determined. A survey of recent and current data fusions programs was conducted along with a literature review on how different organizations handle a fusion-based assessment. Key points found in this study were used to develop an adaption of models that can be used to provide an improved assessment while simplifying the process needed to get there.
