Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for dynamically tasking one or more surveillance resources includes a first logical layer identifying a collection requirement (CR) and a second logical layer identifying one or more surveillance resources in the CR. Each of the surveillance resources includes one or more sensors. The system also includes a third logical layer specifying how each of the sensors in the surveillance resources in the CR should carry out surveillance.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for dynamically tasking one or more surveillance resources includes a core module identifying one or more surveillance resources each including one or more sensors. The system also includes one or more target definitions defining one or more targets for surveillance according to geography without reference to target type.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for dynamically tasking one or more surveillance resources includes a core module identifying one or more surveillance resources. The surveillance resources each include one or more sensors. The system also includes one or more links between the core module and one or more target definitions. The target definitions each define one or more targets for surveillance, and the links logically link the surveillance resources identified in the core module to the targets defined in the target definitions. Modification to one or more of the links dynamically tasks the surveillance resources without modification to the core module and without logically unlinking the core module from the target definitions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for dynamically tasking one or more surveillance resources includes a core module identifying one or more surveillance resources each including one or more sensors. The system also includes one or more discrete tasking modules dynamically tasking one or more of the surveillance resources identified in the core module without modification to the core module.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for dynamically tasking one or more surveillance resources includes multiple collection requirements (CRs) that identify multiple surveillance resources. The system also includes an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirement (ISRR) that is a parent of the CRs. The CRs inherit one or more attributes from the ISRR, and the inheritance of the attributes from the ISRR to the CRs enables management of the CRs from the ISRR.
