1. A system for sensor data fusion for sensor management and utilization in satellite command and control, comprising:
at least one computer processor including a memory;
at least one curation engine, at least one link engine, at least one fusion engine, at least one inference engine, and at least one validation engine;
at least one first radio frequency (RF) power sensor operable to capture a first power measurement of at least one RF signal received by a satellite; and
at least one second RF power sensor operable to capture a second power measurement of the at least one RF signal received by the satellite;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to analyze the first power measurement and the second power measurement;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to receive at least one query;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to curate the first power measurement and the second power measurement, the at least one link engine is operable to link the first power measurement and the second power measurement, the at least one fusion engine is operable to fuse the first power measurement and the second power measurement, the at least one inference engine is operable to determine at least one inference from the first power measurement and the second power measurement, and the at least one validation engine is operable to validate the first power measurement and the second power measurement;
wherein the at least one link engine is operable to calculate a non-existent link, a weak link, or a strong link between the first power measurement and the second power measurement;
wherein the at least one fusion engine is operable to fuse the first power measurement and the second power measurement based in part on the strong link and the at least one query, thereby creating fused data;
wherein the fused data includes at least one new data set;
wherein the at least one new data set includes an accuracy value for the at least one first power sensor and/or the at least one second power sensor; and
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to instruct the satellite to reorient based on the at least one new data set.
