Whereas multi-sensor observation systems were long considered as sets of passive information-producing devices. the current trend is to consider them as sets of active devices capable of adapting to their environment. This change in outlook calls for finely-tuned synergies between observation units, through a management approach that seeks complementary coverage across the units involved, as well as optimum interaction between the different degrees of freedom arising from the intrinsic capabilities of each. But sensor management is a vast area involving many different techniques. Diversity arises from the extremely wide variety of physical phenomena to be observed and of acquisition methods available for observing them. This is further compounded by the wide variety of timescales applying in observation systems at different operational levels. This article gives an overview of the underlying problems in sensor management and sets out the main objectives and constraints involved.
