Sensor management - control and cue

Presents the role of sensor management with respect to the sensor system and the fusion process. The important roles and functions of sensor management are discussed. A multi-level classification of the sensor management is presented. The control and cueing aspects of sensor management are explored. An experiment is set up to demonstrate a sensor manager controlling an electro-optical (EO) sensor's direction of motion and the sensor cueing process to track a target. A fuzzy controller is used in this experiment. The sensor fusion system used an interactive multiple model (IMM) algorithm to give the estimated target direction.
