This thesis focuses on developing and analyzing a model for an aerially deployed real-time targeting sensor net to close the current gap that exists between the potential technological-doctrinal capability within society and that of the military. It outlines current real-time targeting need due to the decomposition of warfare after the fall of the Soviet Union, and portrays the targeting discrepancies in the Global War on Terror. From end-user surveys requirements are layed out for a system of systems to meet targeting needs. A feasible solution consisting of a system architecture anchored in existing commercial off the shelf technology is proposed to meet the discrete deliverables necessary to accomplish targeting goals to deal with asymmetric threats in opaque environments. / US Navy (USN) author.
