BAE Systems Australia's Decentralised Data Fusion (DDF) technology is an effective solution for compiling a timely and accurate common operational picture across multiple dissimilar sensors and platforms networked in a decentralised architecture.
Distributed, networked assets in the air, land and sea domain, sensing, fusing and communicating timely and accurate data is a common view of future sensor-platform operations.
This view emphasises the requirement to achieve operational goals through networking systems or systems of systems. The concept of a central processing facility to disseminate and redistribute data is often flawed due to requirements on efficiency, cost, timeliness, flexibility and survivability.
