Concepts of Data/Information Fusion for Naval C2 and Airborne ISR platforms

Abstract

The main objective of this report is to analyze methods, techniques, algorithms, rule-based communication protocols and infrastructures needed to establish a Maritime Tactical Picture (MTP). An MTP is, by definition, the combination of the Local Area Picture (LAP) seen by a unit (which may be part of a Task Force) using its own sensors and a Wide Area Picture (WAP) using information, not controlled by the Task Force, provided by High Frequency (HF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radios or satellites. For that purpose a test-bed was developed for testing and benchmarking all these above-mentioned elements. This test-bed provides the tools needed to study what information should be communicated, when and how, and the impact it has on the joint situational awareness.
