Network Centric Sensing and Engagement
Abstract
(U) The Network Centric Sensing and Engagement program develops technology and tools to support precise small unit situational awareness, rapid targeting, and precision engagement in highly-networked environments. Network-centric sensing acknowledges a group of sensors as a system and leverages networked intercommunication to enable system performance superior to that of uncoordinated individual sensors. The program uses organic reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition data to update tactical users and planners over multiple echelons with critical environmental and operational information. Required technology advances include: sensor-to-sensor communications, multi-sensor management, sensor system georegistration, real-time data fusion, advanced tracking, and network-centric sensor operational modes. Technologies are planned to transition to small tactical units in irregular operations.
