knowledge. In the calibration module, the expert system 
provides the history of previous calibration in order to 
reduce the calibration time. In the planning module, the 
expert system provides the historical with a set of 
procedures to optimize the survey mission. In the real-time 
quality control module, the expert system guides the survey 
crew by a set of rules gained from previous surveys. In the 
post-mission quality control module, the expert system 
chooses the best processing strategy for each survey in 
order to maximize the results. At the same time, the post 
mission results are analyzed and used to update the expert 
system for comparable situation in the future. An expert 
system of this type will shorten the production cycle, 
minimize human interaction, and lead to an easy transfer of 
the technology to other platforms and applications.
