Harbour security is a strategic area of concern for the international community since ports and approaches to them are very important for the national and world economy. Reducing port vulnerabilities requires increased situation awareness, which can be achieved by utilizing higher-level fusion processes (situation assessment and impact prediction). The result of higher-level fusion is a coherent composite picture of the current and projected situations, which provides decision makers with essential information to help them understand and control the situation, and act effectively to mitigate its impact. Higher-level fusion processes utilize fused sensor data, intelligence information, databases, maps, information on prior similar situations, preliminary assessment of the vulnerability of the area under consideration, and intent and capability of a possible adversary. The purpose of this paper is to discuss major challenges, specific requirements, and approaches to designing higher level fusion processes as applied to the problem of harbour security.
