Abstract

A very short overview is given on experience gained in the area of high level information fusion (JDL level 2 and 3) since 1988. The main characteristics of the referenced projects and experimental systems for the support of intelligence officers in land battle missions will be outlined. The different approaches to analyse and model military intelligence processing and the development of concepts and methods are described. Lessons learned from these projects are used to give a personal perception of the actual situation in level 2/3 fusion activities for intelligence and to suggest possible ways ahead for further research.
