The multi-asset synchronizer (MAS) is an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission planning tool that satisfies a diverse and dynamic set of commander information needs by enabling the full capacity of modern airborne and space sensor constellations.
By automating ISR mission plans, the MAS system provides rapid production of airborne ISR platform routes and synchronized, mission-responsive sensor schedules. The synchronizer’s open architecture supports the rapid integration of a diverse set of sensor and platform performance models with a suite of numerical optimization algorithms.
MAS is built on a foundation of mathematical programming technologies that automatically generate resource allocation and scheduling solutions to complicated, large-scale problems. The unique capabilities provided by the numerical optimization approach offer distinct advantages over other mission planning tools.
