Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems

Abstract

Different concepts from the higher-levels data fusion, such as situation awareness, impact assessment, dynamic resource management, threat evaluation, and weapon assignment, as described in [Valin P, Technical Memorandum DRDC Valcartier TM 2008-090, 2008], can be addressed as a mix between the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Multisensor Data Fusion (MSDF) systems. In compliance with the Department of National Defence and Canadian Forces Architecture Framework (DNDAF) and the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), we develop a new web services implementation of MSDF System. The migration and the decomposition into web services of the Concept Analysis and Simulation Environment for Automatic Target Tracking and Identification (CASE ATTI) test bed, developed at DRDC Valcartier, is realized using a spiral approach. A validation process of the web services is proposed by comparison with the results generated by the CASE ATTI test bed.
