Abstract:
Connecting systems that are responsible for gathering information of any kind (e.g., images (optical/infra red/radar), video streams, vehicle tracks, etc.), processing stations (merging images series, stabilizing videos, etc.) and exploitation systems in a large (e.g., multinational) environment is a difficult task. Currently those stations tend to be operating independently irrespective of the vast amount of other systems available. As cooperation between different nations and different operating entities (civil and military) is increasingly important the sharing of information to generate a common awareness is vital. This paper describes a solution towards this goal by introducing a system capable of dealing with the ingestion and distribution of data and the fusion perspectives/possibilities that arise when a multitude of stations report a single event from many viewpoints.
