In the information based maritime battlefield,obtaining information superiority is one of the bases to guarantee the battle victory,and the sensor management is the key link to improve the overall sensor detection efficiency and achieve the information superiority.Firstly,analyzes the management requirements of maritime formation sensors,including the structure,function and management requirements of formation,platform and single sensor.Secondly,the overall architecture of sensor management for maritime formation which adopt a hybrid structure is studied,and the processing flow,input and output,processing principles of planning and real time scheduling,as well as an event driven sensor operational management technical framework are designed,so as to estabilish the top architecture of sensor management for naval formation.
