Abstract

In this paper, we revise the JDL data fusion model to have an ability of distributed data fusion(DDF). Data fusion is a function that produces valuable information using data from multiple sources. After the network centric warfare concept was introduced, the data fusion was required to be expanded to DDF. We identify the data transfer and control between nodes is the core function of DDF. The previous data fusion models can not be used for DDF because they don't include that function. Therefore, we revise the previous JDL data fusion model by adding the core function of DDF and propose this new model as a model for DDF. We show that our model is adequate and useful for DDF by using several examples.
