Communications and Sensor Management A Net-Centric Semantic Web Approach

The US military requires intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) information in near real time. Today’s capability normally requires one or more days. Multiple key efforts related to Semantic Web technologies are presented and how they can be extended in order to manage an ISR platform’s communication and sensor systems to reduce the time required in providing ISR requests to combat personnel. Sensors on board US Air Force (USAF) aircraft, unmanned air vehicles (UAV) and satellites are tasked to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information.
