Research abstract
This research explores opportunities to exploit sensors, including Overhead Persistent InfraRed (OPIR), on an as-available basis for the purpose of enhancing missile defense capability. Specifically, we investigate Intelligent Sensor Tasking (IST) techniques designed to minimize integrated information entropy efficiently. Our IST approach, coined Birds Eye, promises a System of Systems (SoS) level tasking tool designed to exploit sensor availability, timelines, resources, Field-of-Regard (FOR), Field-of-View (FOV), geometry, resolution, sensitivity, and phenomenology. The primary objective of the Birds Eye is the efficient, balanced utilization of available sensor system resources. The effect of high performance IST is information superiority.
