Spacecraft are key components of military operations and everyday life. To achieve space situation awareness, human operators must monitor large numbers of parameters. During off-nominal conditions (e.g. severe space weather storm or onboard anomaly), it is difficult to cohesively monitor the data to develop an accurate tactical picture. To aid operators, we have developed a prototype Multi-Agent Satellite System for Information Fusion (MASSIF) for event detection and characterization. This system integrates a fuzzy logic system for semantic data processing and a Bayesian belief network system for multi-source data fusion and situation assessment. This paper describes initial research results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
