Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print and on CD-ROM. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique, consistent, permanent citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:
The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit CID Number. AuthorsNumbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit citation identifier (CID) article numbering system used in Proceedings of SPIE. The first four digits reflect the volume number. Base 36 numbering is employed for the last two digits and indicates the order of articles within the volume. Numbers start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B…0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc. Boucher, Vincent, 0E Buès, Michel, 0F Chun, Francis, 08 Cord, Aurélien, 0E Craner, Jeremy, 0A Davies, Angela, 0J De Luccia, F., 05 Dessonville, Timothy, 0H Dong, Yue, 0J Dumoulin, Jean, 0E Harris, Timothy, 0A Johnson, David, 04 Khalifa, Abderrahmen, 0F Marchetti, Mario, 0E, 0F Masini, Paolo, 07 Matin, Mohammad, 08 Miller, Steven, 04 Morse, Edward, 0J Moyer, D., 05 Mullany, Brigid, 0J Puschell, Jeffery J., 04, 07 Rajagopalan, Ramesh, 0H Rausch, K., 05 Ruppert, Lyle, 0A Speicher, Andy, 08 Tippets, Roger, 08 Vandermierden, N., 05 Zheng, Benrui, 0J Conference CommitteeProgram Track Chair Conference Chairs

IntroductionThe fifth Remote Sensing System Engineering Conference was held on Monday, 18 August 2014, at the San Diego Convention Center as a part of the SPIE Optics + Photonics and Optical Engineering + Applications Annual Meeting. The goals of the Conference were, first and foremost, to exchange critical and invaluable lessons learned and best practices in the systems engineering of ground-, air-, and space-based remote sensing systems. Additional goals were to share existing and emerging design approaches, engineering methods, tools, and future trends for engineering remote sensing systems. Chaired by Dr. Philip E. Ardanuy (Raytheon Intelligence & Information Systems) and Dr. Jeffery J. Puschell (Raytheon Space & Airborne Systems), the conference featured 21 diverse and interesting presentations on Remote Sensing System Applications, Active Remote Sensing Systems, and Innovations in Remote Sensing across four oral sessions, plus additional poster presentations in the evening session. The authors were international in breadth, with Asian and European engineers and scientists joining their American systems engineering colleagues for the conference. Topics discussed included: systems engineering best practices and lessons learned; system architecture and design; requirements, performance metrics, and measures of success; modeling and simulation tools and methods; design and integration of distributed architectures; use of commercial assets in future remote sensing systems; bridging and balancing across the science-to-engineering and technologist-to-end-user valleys of “death and lost opportunities”; and the end user, effective data/information/system utilization, and optimum return on investment. The conference chairs wish to thank the presenters and authors for their fascinating and innovative contributions, which spanned the full diversity of the field. The papers which follow include:
