Abstract :
The paper describes an architecture of a system for assisting an aircraft crew in enhancing its situation awareness by creating a complete surveillance picture of the environment in real time. The architecture is based on the framework of the multi agent technology where tasks are solved cooperatively among heterogeneous intelligent agents; each performs one defined function. This architecture offers a number of advantages such as synergy, scalability, reusability, reliability
