Fusion challenges in non-traditional warfare - the road to an asymmetric fusion model

An overarching problem in asymmetric warfare is defeating the network. In this paper, we discuss the technology challenges of applying traditional fusion capabilities to networks. We also discuss the war fighter challenges of context switching between networks and other INTS. To address the technology and war fighter challenges, we recast the notion of object, relationship, and track in the context of asymmetric warfare and describe how such a perspective can provide better applicability to solving asymmetric fusion problems. Lastly, we discuss the notion of a blueprint, a standardization for representing linked data, to facilitate addressing these asymmetric fusion challenges.
