The Multi-sensorfusion Management (MSFM) algorithm is extended to admit a richer variety of behavior. More realistic sensor characteristic models are used such as detection-plus-bearing sensors and false alarm probabilities commensurate with actual sonar sensor systems. The performance of the modified MSFM algorithm is illustrated on a realistic anti-submarine warfare (ASW) application.

We discuss Virtual Associative Networks (VANs) and their relevance for addressing computationally prohibitive sensorfusion problems (with results in Dynamic sensor Management). To our knowledge, this discussion of VAN technology for sensorfusion is unique and our current result involving VANs for Dynamic sensor Management is the first of its kind. The following provides methodology, results, and extensions.

Situational Awareness is one of the keys to realizing the full potential of a weapons platform. It encompasses mission planning and rehearsal, the optimum use of offensive and defensive resources, and post mission analysis. In this report, the Situation Awareness process is described as it relates to the integration of Electronic Warfare (EW) with targeting and intelligence and information warfare systems. Discussion is focused on the sensorfusion, Situation Assessment, and Response Management Strategies.

A fuzzy logic based data association routine has been developed. The concept is based on very simple fuzzy logic implementation. The resulting technique is intended as an enhancement to current data association routines when added information such as sensor blockage and forbidden terrain knowledge can be incorporated into the system.

A new track-to-track association algorithm mixing kinematics data provided by the radar and identification data provided by the Electronic Support Measure (ESM) sensor is presented. The performance of this algorithm is confirmed in terms of probability of correct association and probability of false association. This algorithm provides the double advantage of providing information about the common origin of the tracks and an identification of each track.

The Joint Directors of Laboratories (JDL) Data fusion Group's Data fusion Model is the most widely used method for categorizing data fusion-related functions. This model is modified to facilitate the cost-effective development, acquisition, integration and operation of multi-sensor/multi-source systems. Proposed modifications include broadening of the functional model and related taxonomy beyond the original military focus, and integrating the Data fusion Tree Architecture model for system description, design and development.

The Dempster Shafer (DS) Theory of Evidential Reasoning may be useful in handling issues associated with theater ballistic missile discrimination. This paper highlights the Dempster-Shafer theory and describes how this technique was implemented and applied to data collected by two infrared sensors on a recent flight test.

In both military and civilian applications, increasing interest is being shown in fusing infrared and vision images for improved situational awareness. In previous work, the authors have developed a fusion method for combining the thermal and vision images into a single image emphasizing the most salient features of the surrounding environment. This approach is based on the assumption that although the thermal and vision data are uncorrelated, they are complementary and can be fused using a suitable disjunctive function. This paper, as a continuation of that work, will describe the development of an information based real-time data level fusion method. In addition, applicability of the algorithms that we developed for data level fusion to feature level techniques (e.g., shapes, lines, and edges) will be investigated.
