Improving ORM Utilizing Implicit Collaboration & Context Sensitive Fusion

We depict the functions and extension of a novel information theory based sensors management (ISBM) system to information based sensor and mission management (IBSMM) such that intelligence collection is effective in an expected value sense while remaining independent of any particular platform, sensor or point solution. We describe the proposed implementation via implicit collaboration through common mission goals. Integral to this concept is utilizing the scope of knowledge at each sensing resource in order to provide context sensitive information extraction from sensor data via context-based information fusion.
