DND / LM Canada / University Collaborations Developing Technologies for Airborne Mission Management Systems

摘要

Canada's airborne platforms, through the CP-140 Aurora Modernization Program (AMP) and the Maritime Helicopter Program (MHP), require solutions for automated Mission Management Systems (MMS) for the next millenium. Since 1990 Lockheed Martin Canada (LM Canada) has been playing a major role in the development of decision support technologies such as Data Fusion, Image Processing and Knowledge Based Systems for applications in C~4I systems. A status of the development of Multi-Sensor data Fusion (MSDF) algorithms on an LM Canada / DREV Black-Board based Knowledge Based System (KBS) is presented. This paper provides a description of a demonstration system for an Airborne Mission Management System in a collaborative effort with Defence Research Establishments at Valcartier and Ottawa (DREV and DREO), five University teams and leverages the work performed at LM Canada in these technologies.
