Patent ID: 10955539

Abstract:
A layered tactical information system and a method of sharing tactical information between multiple layers are provided. The method performed by a processor of each layer of the multiple layers includes searching for relevant data available to the processor of the layer in response to at least one of a layer request from the processor of another layer of the multiple layers and a directive received by a processor of a first layer of the multiple layers. The directive specifies an end state, one or more target types, a time window, a geographic location area, and a first layer requirement of at least one layer requirement to be resolved by the processor of the first layer. The method performed by the processor further includes evaluating whether a layer requirement of the at least one layer requirement for the layer is satisfied based on at least one of (a) any found relevant data that was found by the search and (b) layer data obtained from at least one of the other layers. When the layer requirement for the layer is not satisfied, the method performed by the processor further includes performing at least one of (a) transmitting, by the processor of the layer to the processor of another layer of the multiple layers, a layer request to gather further information and (b) generating layer data and providing the layer data generated to the processor of at least one other layer.
