Abstract :
The asymmetric threat of the twenty-first century is presenting a challenge for the information and sensors domain. The intelligent aggregation of information and sensor data in real-time is required. The use of waveform and geometric diversity along with knowledge based signal processing in distributed radars and heterogeneous sensors is necessary. Three example cases are presented illustrating how to intelligently aggregate information and sensor data for delivering the desired effects to the asymmetric threat.
