SemanticFusion situational awareness platform

The SemanticFusion Situational Awareness platform provides high-level data fusion and situational awareness. SemanticFusion approaches data fusion from a high-level ontology and concept modeling perspective, rather than a traditional low-level data analysis approach, supporting high-level fusion and analysis.

  • Capable of higher level representations and analysis than traditional Data Fusion approaches. Working with concepts not data supports higher order information fusion and achieves data reduction by sharing concepts rather than raw data.
  • Utilises Inferencing, Reasoning and Planning capabilities to exploit the inherently structured ontology approach for representing, and manipulating information, including certainty and time, supporting for both autonomous and man-in-the-loop analysis and decision-making.
  • Natural Language Processing supports input from structured and unstructured text.
  • Semantic technologies inherently associate the incoming data, the data context and relationships using metadata.
  • Semantic web approaches allow additional information to be associated as metadata and automatically propagated through systems.
  • Leveraging contextual information also supports simulation, enhanced analysis and planning support.
  • Compatible with semantic approaches identified by DSTO staff, and with DOD Global Info Grid, FCS Future Combat Systems models, US Navy FORCENet model, etc.
  • SemanticFusion is an extensible Software & infrastructure platform to support data ingest, representation, processing, and user interaction and analytics

DescriptionPertinent information


SemanticFusion provides a Situational Awareness platform supporting High-level data fusion

  • Operates with high-level problem-domain concepts rather than traditional low-level data analysis
  • Monitors input from sensors, structured and unstructured text sources, other information feeds and external systems
  • Reduces operator cognitive load by presenting operators with high-level information pertinent to the task at hand
  • Inference, Reasoning and Planning capabilities support both autonomous and man-in-the-loop analysis and decision-making.
  • Data and bandwidth requirements are reduced by fusion to high-level concepts
  • Compatible with semantic approach identified by DSTO staff, and with DOD Global Info Grid, FCS Future Combat Systems models, US Navy FORCENet model, etc.
  • An extensible Software & infrastructure platform to support data ingest, representation, processing, and user interaction and analytics
