Distributed satellite constellation for cooperative multi-target tracking

A system includes a computer processor, a computer memory, and a user interface. The system receives a plurality of tasks, data relating to conditions and environments associated with the plurality of tasks, and a plurality of goals relating to planning and scheduling of the plurality of tasks. The goals are received from a plurality of sources, and the goals are addressed as a function of the conditions and environments. The system displays on the user interface, as a function of the plurality of goals, an analytical view of the conditions and environments relating to the plurality of tasks and an analytical view of a status of the plurality of tasks.
