Decentralized Multi Platform Data Fusion using Agent Technology

Abstract

In this technological world not all devices and applications understand the data the other devices produce. Many a times to use all the information or data that the different devices have produced is not possible. Much tactical information when combined can be of immense use to the organization as such. The Naval ships that patrol the coast line generate a large number of tactical data .This data when taken as an individual component may not be of much help to that ship or fleet. Integration of data that are of different format and mode is not an easy task. In this paper we propose the use of agents in the field of multi platform data fusion.
