Abstract
An architecture for a distributed and adaptive multi-sensor fusion engine is described. The engine is developed to improve the protection of European armed forces against the threats troops are facing in urban environments. In particular, the engine needs to be scalable, flexible to quickly adjust to different missions and mission goals, easily extendable and suited for distributed implementation. The architecture follows a layered approach to define the main information processing elements.
