This paper gives an overview of the Bayesian network technology and a description of its potential application for data fusion. The Bayesian network technology is a set of representation techniques for encoding uncertain beliefs using probability theory and reasoning techniques for drawing inferences from such representatives. The technology has been successfully applied both to tasks of assessment under uncertainty and tasks of decision- making under uncertainty.
