Netted Full Spectrum Sensors

"The overall objective of this proposal is to provide a Netted Full Spectrum Sensor(NFSS) Operations Management System(OMS)that will allow engineering decision-makers to perform tradeoffs in sensor requirements and design parameters, as well assupport staff officer decisions in real-time mission planning and execution. Toprovide full coverage of the MASINT spectrum using and integrated approach, the NSFFsystem must contain a full suite of state-of-the-art ground based and air deliveredmulti-intelligence sensors. To ensure that operational sensor taskings and missionsare coordinated will require a management system as part of the NFSS. Effectivecoordination of a fully integrated set of sensors as defined in the solicitation,will require that the NFSS system interact with other planned operational sub-systems, e.g., INTEL, COMM, logistics, etc., as well as the control stationsof new and existing sensor systems.PSI has been developing planning and tasking tools to support CINC staffoperations, determining information sources, designing system interfaces, andworking with the developers of other systems to ensure seamless and timelypassage of required information. PSI has developed the embedded simulationsthat form the heart of these netted tools, and the real-time inputs foroperational scenario and other data required to drive the simulations thatpredict sensor collection outcomes. These simulations are used by the staff officersto d
