Overview
Today, there are more and more sensors on the battlefield. Some are in the air, some are in orbit, some are worn by soldiers, some are positioned on the ground, and so on. As this trend continues there will soon be an overwhelming amount of data created by all of these sensors, and it will become impossible for humans to effectively absorb it all and take the right action. Currently much of this kind of data is sent back to a headquarters office to be processed by people and software, and then the resulting information and recommendations are disseminated back out into the field to the people who are in a position to make a decision and act. This causes a significant delay and does not scale. Devise a system that solves this problem of turning data from distributed sensors into usable information, sending it to the right people, and doing so scalably as the number of sensors and the volume of raw data grows exponentially.
