Multi-asset Control, Sensor Fusion, and Information Sharing Througha Centralized Operator Station

摘要

As the number of sensing assets and tactical command and control (C2) systems grow, the need for a centralized means of collecting and disseminating the crucial information grows as well. Over the past 5 years, Honeywell has created a software application known as the Network-Enabled Operator Station (NEOS) to answer this need. NEOS has been developed from the ground up to be an open-architecture solution which integrates a variety of assets, communications systems and protocols, and data sharing techniques. The ultimate goals are to increase friendly situational awareness and increase the effectiveness of field operators.
