Description:
Software, system or suite for accepting disparate inputs and producing organized information. May use multiple sensor inputs to develop a situational picture, and/or multiple inputs from different intelligence sources to create a correlated set of accessible data.
This functionality may also be obtainable via subscription as a cloud-based service using a web browser interface or a mobile app, as opposed to local software. However, special security considerations apply for data stored remotely. See 04AP-11-SAAS for further information.
ImportantFeatures:
May incorporate some form of data visualization and/or pattern detection capability.
Should have GIS integration in order to display mapped information.
Operating Considerations:
Consider power requirements for host system, including backup.
Consider power and network requirements for any associated sensors, as well as other systems from which data is obtained.
If purchased as software, carefully review platform requirements, including ability to handle varying inputs from sensors, outside systems, etc.
Check compatibility with related add-on software such as pattern recognition, atypical signal analysis, and data mining.
All three aspects of security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) are extremely important for these systems. In addition to normal precautions such as strong authentication, firewalls, and fault-tolerant hardware, recurring professional third-party vulnerability assessments are recommended for data fusion systems.
