Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of sensors, and, more particularly, to a system and method for remotely virtualizing deployed optical sensors to dynamically upgrade/optimize the deployed sensor's performance and to extend the life of a deployed sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of information transparency, and, more particularly, to a system and method for providing non-ambiguous sensor information transparency for deployed sensors within a highly geographically distributed, networked environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an object oriented architecture that includes a plurality of host aircraft interface objects that enable a plurality of different host aircraft or variants to be attached or interfaced to an associated store, such as a targeting pod or a weapon system. The union of all aircraft hosts and variants are packaged and maintained as one executable capable of adapting to the predetermined suite of identified hosts and host variants. At least one or more interface objects provide a virtual translation layer which is dynamically determined and allocated during instantiation. Auto detection of the host aircraft/host aircraft variant provides the specific interface protocol by which the store can process and provide status via a predetermined signal format.
