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 data 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 data 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 data and the second power measurement data;
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 data and the second power measurement data, creating a curated first power measurement data and a curated second power measurement data, the at least one link engine is operable to link the curated first power measurement data and the curated second power measurement data, the at least one fusion engine is operable to fuse the curated first power measurement data and the curated second power measurement data, the at least one inference engine is operable to determine at least one inference from the curated first power measurement data and the curated second power measurement data, and the at least one validation engine is operable to validate the curated first power measurement data and the curated second power measurement data;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to curate the first power measurement data by categorizing the first power measurement data into at least one first power property and/or at least one first power sub-property;
wherein the at least one first power property and/or the at least one first power sub-property includes at least one first data point of the satellite;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to curate the second power measurement data by categorizing the second power measurement data into at least one second power property and/or at least one second power sub-property;
wherein the at least one second power property and/or the at least one second power sub-property includes the at least one first data point of the satellite and/or at least one second data point of the satellite;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to filter the curated first power measurement data and the curated second power measurement data based in part on the at least one first power property and/or the at least one first power sub-property and the at least one second power property and/or the at least one second power sub-property;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to calculate a degree of certainty that the at least one first power property is correlated to the at least one second power property or the at least one first power sub-property is correlated to the at least one second power sub-property;
wherein the at least one fusion engine creates at least one new data set; and
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to instruct the satellite to move from a first orientation to a second orientation based on the at least one new data set.
