Abstract
Lockheed Martin Canada has recently developed a Situation and Threat Assessment (STA) and Resource Management (RM) application using some recent technologies and concepts that have emerged from level 2 and 3 data fusion research. The current paper focuses on the issues pertaining to the design and implementation of threat opportunity, capability, and intent in threat assessment computation. The discussion about intent is particularly relevant for harbour protection since it is the key factor in identifying asymmetric threats.
