Networking System Spins Sensor Web

摘要

The potential of network-centric operations is growing with the capability to link, interpret, process, manage and share data from multiple sensors in near real time and throughout a battlespace. This information could be delivered directly to a commander's laptop computer to provide a clearer and more complete picture of detected threats. Sensor technology is a key component of obtaining situa-tional awareness in an area of operations. Currently, however, each sensor monitors distinct sections of the battlespace. By networking various types of sensors, processing the information they gather, then employing smart technology to sift through it, commanders could respond to activity in a named area of interest quicker and with more precision.
