Multisensor cooperation in military surveillance systems

Surveillance operations include the timely detection, localization, recognition and identification of objects and events, their relationships, activities, and plans, in a given Volume Of Interest (VOI). Distributed sensors when properly managed can cooperatively provide a complete, accurate, and timely information about the presence and activity of all objects or events within a VOI. This paper presents a holonic sensor management approach that can be used to handle cooperative tasks such as target cueing and handoff in military surveillance operations.
