7 Implementations of SWE
SWE presents many opportunities for adding a real-time sensor dimension to the Internet and the Web. SWE standards have been implemented in hundreds of applications from
mobile to enterprise in domains including disaster management, remote sensing UAVs, satellites, environmental monitoring, transportation management, defense, security,
public safety, meteorology, hydrology, alerting, and building monitoring systems.
7.1 US Department of DefenseIC SensorWeb
The United States Government USG Department of Defense DoD Intelligence Community IC is conducting Sensor Web Enablement SWE research, development
and demonstration through the ‘SensorWeb’ project which has identified accomplishments, future challenges and suggested ways forward. SensorWeb is a USG
initiative supported by various USG agencies. All SensorWeb software and documentation is USG owned.
SensorWeb is currently built primarily using SWE version 1.0 Sensor Instance Registry SIR – WCS – queries multiple SOS
Sensor Observation Service SOS v 1.x o
OGC Compliant ModeCompile o
DCGS Compliant Mode SOAP, WSDL, etc. Sensor Alert Service
o SAS is not a standard, does not comply with DCGS Enterprise
o Sensor Event and Alerting Service includes attributes of 52°North SES
Sensor Planning Service v2.0 o
Tasking Engines Web Notification Service See SAS Bullet
SensorMLOM v1.0 Sensor Data Transformation Element Interfaces, SWEETSIDs
Leverages WPS, WMS, WCS, OpenLayers, Google Earth, NASA WorldWind SensorWeb has been used and been developed through participation in Empire Challenge
and now Enterprise Challenge exercises as follows
2007 – Persistent Universal Layered Sensor Exploitation Network PULSENet o
Northrop Grumman TASC Internal Research and Development o
Full developing SWE schemas and services suite o
Supported primarily corporate sensors provided by DIA o
Sponsored by NGA, DIA, JFCOM – no funding provided 2008 – SensorWeb
o Initial Proof of concept of non-proprietary USG version of SWE for DoD
o Full support for USG Current Force Unattended Ground Sensors
o NGA funded, DIANMO executed, DTRA participant TML
o See Section 9.3 for OGC’s participation in EC’08

2009 – SensorWeb o
JAVA, Larger sensor modality support, DCGS Support 2011 – SensorWeb
o Multi-Agency, tipcue airborne assets using ACTM ACTDF
2013 – Participation planned with UGS and RadNuc Much of the EnterpriseEmpire Challenge initiative cannot be published in this report.
The previous PULSENet development was used by Northrop Grumman for civilian projects and has been published publically Figure 4. The continued development of
SensorWeb in Enterprise Challenge has been led by OUSDI which has driven timeline and surges, development, documentation and sensor integration.
