Abstract :
The problems and benefits of integrated data fusion and decision support are discussed across the spectrum of antisubmarine, tactical air, and land warfare. Then a general architecture of activities is proposed. This architecture includes data association, multitarget tracking, data combination, sensor management, situation assessment, and alternative analysis.
