Abstract :
Surveillance of ground targets from airborne systems is increasingly of interest in tactical operations. Collection management synchronization can provide improved tactical data products for multi-platform operations. Synchronization of collection management is considered for coalition operations involving multiple airborne GMTI radar systems. An emerging synchronization collection management planning capability is evaluated for application to surveillance using GMTI radar systems. Several examples are provided which illustrate the capability and benefits of synchronized collection management.
