Saying that military intelligence analysts have their work cut out for them these days is really an understatement. Sure, the explosion of new UAV sensors and other information-gathering technologies is guaranteed to enable capture of exponentially more Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data, but someone -?or something -?needs to make heads or tails of the resulting avalanche of data.
The U.S. Army's Guardrail Common Sensor (GRCS) SOA-based, net-centric system provides war fighters with vital intelligence information, so it's no wonder that migrating its crucial algorithm had its fair share of challenges.
