The methodology for system identification was not described in detail. Exposure to test results, when available, should be most instructive. All of these addressed level one fusion problems including registration, feature extraction, detection , and tracking. No generality was apparent in these offerings. In the former category a few papers dealt with development and validation of models to predict ionospheric parameters and resulting interference.
Problems lie in high levels of electromagnetic pollution and performance deficiencies.
The title had very little to do with the presented paper except in the sense of providing an insightful philosophical discussion of fusion design. Unfortunately the written paper, while good, does not track well with the presented material. The paper addressed a broad class of level 1 fusion problems using entirely symbolic techniques. The level or type of evaluation was not made clear. These papers were concerned with strategic, or at least higher echelon, descriptions of the battle environment.
