Keywords: sensor management, functional allocation, multi-threat tracking

This paper investigates varying levels of sensor-awareness on target tracking figures of merit and identifies advantages and disadvantages for different threat composition characteristics. The trade space between system quality, system timeliness, and system reliability for different sensor management architectures is assessed and limitations identified.
