• Non-cooperative Sensors
• High Range Resolution (HRR), Enhanced Recog and
  Sensing Ladar
• Information Fusion (needs at least some Coop
  Non-Coop)
• Sensor Fusion Algorithms, Network Centric
  Warfare, Advanced Tactical Targeting (T3), Family
  of Interoperable Pictures (FIOP)
• What are the CID Enablers?
• AESA Radars, Advanced Targeting Pods, Data Links,

• Ex Connectivity - Aerospace Operations Centers
  Need that Information directly? via data link?
  via voice? via ???
• Space applications, FIOP, Common Operational
  Picture, Network operations, Machine 2 Machine,
  Cursor on Target
• Tactical Air Control Party Enhancements
• Data Link, Geo-positional rangefinders, Tags,
  etc.
• BFSA to Shooter Cockpits, When Appropriate
• Ex EPLRS/FBCB2 SADL (Next Slide)
• Link 16 messages for targeting and airspace
  control measures
• It is a Data Management and Cockpit Display
  Challenge
