Sensor Netting
Sensor netting is the process of electronically linking multiple independent sensors, such as radars and electro-optical systems, to share their data in real-time. This combined data creates a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the battlespace than any single sensor could achieve alone.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Sensor netting refers to the networked integration and collaborative operation of diverse, geographically distributed sensors (e.g., radar, IRST, sonar) within a unified architecture to achieve enhanced situational awareness, improved target tracking, and robust data fusion for missile and air defense applications. This distributed sensing paradigm optimizes detection probabilities and reduces uncertainty through redundant and complementary data streams.
BACKGROUND
Many entities have provided or promised military aid to Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War, particularly since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. This includes weaponry, equipment, training, logistical support, as well as financial support, unless earmarked for humanitarian purposes. Weapons sent as a result of cooperation between multiple countries are listed separately under each country.

USAGE NOTE
Sensor netting is critical in modern air and missile defense systems for building a complete common operational picture, enhancing target engagement capabilities, and overcoming individual sensor limitations.
