Association of Intelligence Reports

In these report overviews we describe a number of developments concerning the management of large amounts of intelligence reports. These methods use the information conflict between reports as a distance measure in data association and clustering. The methods were initially developed to manage intelligence in anti-submarine warfare but later adopted to ground warfare. This includes work towards integrating fusion methodologies for achieving a dynamic common operational picture in a ground warfare scenario on the tactical level [1]. A simple demonstration is available as [2]. Papers [I-VI] below describe these methods.
