Threat Evaluation of Aerial Targets in an Air Defense System Using Bayesian Networks
José Fernando Basso Brancalion, Karl Heinz Kienitz · 2017
The purpose of an Air Defense System is to evaluate the air scenario and identify hostile aircraft that represent a real threat to the assets and people of one country. Decision makers in such system are faced today with the challenge of processing and evaluating an increasing amount of data originated from different, and sometimes conflicting, sources. This work covers the information fusion in the domain of reconnaissance (including the automatic identification and classification) of targets with hostile behaviors in relation to one asset located on the ground. This survey proposes the use of a Bayesian network for detecting, classifying and evaluating the threatening level of hostile aircraft.
