Abstract

To take advantage of recent and future advances in communications and information processing technology, military systems of the 21st century will create systems that enable the elements to operate as nodes in a geographically distributed information collection and processing network. Each network node is immersed in an information environment. An abstract means of characterizing information environments synthesized from sensor information is formulated in this paper. The limitations of such a formulation is discussed as well as directions to complete this concept is mentioned as well.
