Abstract

MacDonald Dettwiler is leading a PRECARN partnership project to develop an advanced simulation testbed for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Network Enabled Operations in a coastal large volume surveillance situation. The main focus of this testbed is to study concepts like distributed information fusion, dynamic resources and networks configuration management, and self synchronising units and agents. This article presents the system architecture with an emphasis on our approach for distributed information fusion.
