3.Information Fusion
Theory, techniques, and tools for exploiting the synergy in the information acquired from multiple sources: sensors, databases, intelligence sources, humans, etc.

4.Goals:
To obtain a better understanding of some phenomenon
To introduce or enhance intelligence and system control functions

5.Human Brain

6.Advantages of Multisensor Data Fusion
Improved system performance
Improved detection, tracking, and identification
Improved situation assessment and awareness
Improved robustness
Sensor redundancy
Graceful degradation
Extended spatial and temporal coverage
Shorter response time
Reduced communication and computing

7.Applications - Military
Detection, location , tracking and identification of military entities.
Sensors: radar, sonar, infrared, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), electro-optic imaging sensors etc.
