Abstract
A data fusion system for combining and parsing data from multiple EO and RF threat warning systems, the system including a plurality of input systems capable of providing feature-level data about an environment in which they are operating. Each input system may be configured to output information regarding its capabilities and the environment in which it is operating. A fusion block is placed in operative communication with the plurality of input systems and battlespace information and configured to algorithmically combine the data and determine the presence or absence of a threat. An output may be placed in operative communication with the fusion block, thereby allowing the fusion block to provide information and/or notifications to the relevant parties and/or systems.
