1. A system for sensor data fusion for sensor management and utilization, 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 sensor of a first sensor type, operable to measure a first parameter of a machine; and
at least one second sensor of a second sensor type, operable to measure a second parameter of the machine;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to analyze data relating to the first parameter and the second parameter;
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 parameter and the second parameter in real time, the at least one link engine is operable to link the first parameter and the second parameter in real time, the at least one fusion engine is operable to fuse the first parameter and the second parameter in real time, thereby creating fused data, the at least one inference engine is operable to determine at least one inference from the first parameter and the second parameter in real time, and the at least one validation engine is operable to validate the first parameter and the second parameter in real time;
wherein the fused data includes at least one new data set;
wherein the at least one inference engine determines the at least one inference by using artificial intelligence;
wherein the at least one validation engine is operable to create a statistical comparison between the at least one inference and at least one new inference and determine if the statistical comparison exceeds a predefined threshold to automatically validate the at least one inference in real time;
wherein the statistical comparison includes calculating a conditional entropy of curated data from the first parameter and the second parameter;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to instruct modification of the machine based on the automatically validated at least one inference and/or the at least one new data set; and
wherein the modification of the machine includes adjusting an orientation of a satellite.
