18. An airborne data library onboard an airborne platform, configured for automatic management of situation awareness data (SAD), the airborne data library comprising:
an onboard data management system onboard the airborne platform, the onboard data management system comprises a data management unit and an onboard data-repository, the data management unit being operatively connectible to at least one computer processor and configured to; establish a communication network for directly communicating with at least one situation awareness data (SAD) source and one or more participating entities;
obtain situation awareness data from the at least one SAD source;
process the SAD and determine, based on data management logic being accessible to the data management unit, at least the following;a) whether to store the obtained SAD locally in the onboard data-repository and/or whether to transmit the obtained SAD to a remote data-repository unit; and b) whether or not to automatically provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity; automatically provide the obtained SAD to the at least one participating entity depending on the determination; and provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity responsive to a request received from the at least one participating entity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. In an airborne data library onboard an airborne platform, a method of managing situation awareness data (SAD);
- the method comprising;
using an onboard data management system installed onboard the airborne vehicle for; establishing a communication network for directly communicating with at least one situation awareness data (SAD) source and one or more participating entities; obtaining situation awareness data from the at least one SAD source; processing the SAD and determining, based on data management logic being accessible to the data management unit at least the following; a) whether to store the obtained SAD locally in the onboard data-repository and/or whether to transmit the obtained SAD to a remote data-repository unit; and b) whether or not to automatically provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity; automatically providing the obtained SAD to the at least one participating entity depending on the determination; and providing the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity responsive to a request received from the at least one participating entity. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A non-transitory program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine operated in an airborne data library to perform a method of managing situation awareness data (SAD), the method comprising:
-
establishing a communication network for directly communicating with at least one situation awareness data (SAD) source and one or more participating entities; obtaining situation awareness data from the at least one SAD source; processing the SAD and determining, based on data management logic being accessible to the data management unit, at least the following; a) whether to store the obtained SAD locally in the onboard data-repository and/or whether to transmit the obtained SAD to a remote data-repository unit; and b) whether or not to automatically provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity; automatically providing the obtained SAD to the at least one participating entities depending on the determination; and providing the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity responsive to a request received from the at least one participating entity.

37. An unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) configured to operate as an airborne data library, the airborne data library being configured for automatically managing situation awareness data (SAD), the airborne data library comprising:
-
an onboard data management system onboard the UAV;
the onboard data management system comprises a data management unit and an onboard data-repository;
the data management unit being operatively connectible to at least one computer processor and configured to;establish a communication network for directly communicating with at least one situation awareness data (SAD) source and one or more participating entities;
obtain situation awareness data from the at least one SAD source;
process the SAD and determine, based on data management logic being accessible to the data management unit the following;a) whether to store the obtained SAD locally in the onboard data-repository and/or whether to transmit the obtained SAD to a remote data-repository unit; and b) whether or not to automatically provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity; automatically provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity depending on the determination; and provide the obtained SAD to at least one participating entity responsive to a request received from the at least one participating entity.
