Abstract

This paper presents the results of a US-UK collaboration project sponsored by the Coalition Warfare Program (CWP) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The goal of this project was to integrate a single framework a set of sensor and policy tools and protocols to enable the rapid assembly and deployment of a disparate set of coalition assets combined into a sensor network with policy controlled sharing/dissemination of data and information. This project was based on two key technology components developed as part of the International Technology Alliance in Network and Information Science (ITA) - the Information Fabric and the Policy Management Toolkit, and technology components developed by the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB) - the Autonomous UAV Persistent Surveillance using Bio-Inspired Strategies.
