Agent-based web for information fusion in military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance

This paper describes a research prototype of an experimental information management system for the German Federal Armed Forces. The system is realized as an agent-based web for military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Users can access ISR related information, services, and experts through this web. Information management is based on a semantic representation of sensor data and other ISR information. The system supports information fusion and offers personalized functionalities. This contribution reports the current state of the system, its software architecture and support functions
