So, good luck on this. Global situational awareness is a thrust that the government is undertaking, largely due to the events surrounding September ~ ~ of 2001.

Let me walk you through some examples of these. The case ~ am trying to build up here is that, for this global situational awareness, the problem is not really inventing new widgets.

For example, on the lower left-hand sicle, it shows a missile launcher that is erecting. Most of the examples T am using for global situational awareness are military in nature, but that is because of the audience that this was pitched at.

All you know is that radio basically is a receiver, and then there is a bunch of electronics on the radio to change the capacitance, the induction. All this does, the electronics, really, is to change the bandwidth of the signal, to sample different bits in the data stream, and that type of thing.

You can change the nature, the very nature, of the sensor on the fly. That is a long explanation of what this chart is, but what this shows is that, by putting the power of the computation next to the sensor, then what you do is greatly reduce the complexity of the problem and the data streams that you need.

So, it is kind of tough. Especially when you are talking about something like global situational awareness, if you find a golf course, you have got to make absolutely sure that it is a golf course.

v that `1nin~ .~omethin~ like this is not merely a pipe dream. In conclusion, T think it has been determined that a need for a global situational awareness really exists.

AUDIENCE: ~ was going to ask a question about this term, data fusion. is that the same as data assimilation?
