Description

The number of sensors in use by the Navy will never decrease. With each advance in technology comes the cost of implementation and integration into previously matured systems vital to Naval tactical operations. The Universal Sensor Definition Schema is designed to consider and address modern communication needs in challenging environments, be those A) sensor-to-ship, B) ship-to-ship, C) ship-to-sat, or D) ship-to-shore/sat-to-shore. To improve the capacity to request, retrieve, and process information across the wider operational sensor systems including legacy sensor arrays and/or new sensor payloads, small business ARiA (PI Dr. Summers) and research institution Bates College (PI Dr. Jadud) will leverage their complimentary areas of expertise to develop and demonstrate the Universal Sensor Definition Schema (USDS) as a suite of API definitions and messaging algorithms to meet the long-term solution of unifying the sensor request interfaces
