How do we learn and identify objects? I suggest that we learn naturalistically by a fused synthesis process where natural sensation bandwidths, are combined cognitively to form a cohesive, mental model. However, current technology has provided isolated bandwidth representations which are then cognitively forced, in a serial fashion, into a mental model. Background: Sensation and Perception

Technology advancements in sensor fusion have allowed jet aircraft pilots to enhance their situation awareness and effectiveness because of fused sensor systems...why has this concept not been applied to other systems?

Current Imagery systems are individual, separate, and require divided attention, and cognitive synthesis to be fused into a cohesive concept

They are characterized by distinct bandwidth limits, each of which provides information, but all of which provide information which must be serially merged through cognitive processes into a cohesive single concept. IR (Infrared) EO (Electro-optical) Radar Radio

Human Factors Challenges: High resolution imagery for all systems needed The equivalent of Geo-Rectification (pattern matching) of multiple bands into a cohesive, realistic, single, image. Selection of intuitive color scheme for band identification Consideration of auditory input as a diversification and redundant coding method
