COTS implementation of a Sensor Planning Service GetFeasibility operation

This paper reports on the status of a design of a Web-based service that determines the feasibility of a sensor tasking request. The design is based on commercial off the shelf (COTS) capabilities from Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI). It is intended for application within a sensor planning service. This Web-based service utilizes the open source parameters employed by the operations, as delineated in the OpenGIS^reg sensor planning service implementation specification. A by-product of the design of this service is a recommendation of additional open-source sensor and tasking parameters.
