Abstract: To prevent the simultaneous use of limited resources, a multi-sensor system typically operates under resource constraints. Sensor management approaches change the freedom degree of system to actively manage these resources during its deployment in reaction to previous measurements. This approach has been widely used in a variety of military and civilian applications, e.g. target region surveillance and air traffic management. First, the definition and fundamental objectives of sensor management are demonstrated in this paper. Then, an overview of the theories, methods and applications of sensor management for aerial target from the past to the present is illustrated, and some constructive ideas for tackling the obstacles of the latest approaches are provided. Finally, some future challenges and opportunities are illustrated.

Key words: sensor management, decision process, multi-target tracking, information gain, optimization
