A system for sensor tasking includes a plurality of sensors operable to perform one or more tasks and a processor. The processor may receive a mission, wherein the mission comprises one or more tasks to be performed by one or more of the plurality of sensors. The processor may also receive one or more environmental conditions associated with the mission and generate a fuzzy cognitive map. The fuzzy cognitive map includes a plurality of nodes and weighted links, wherein one or more of the plurality of nodes are associated with one or more of the environmental conditions. The processor may be further operable to select one or more of the plurality of sensors to perform each of the one or more tasks based at least on a state of the fuzzy cognitive map and schedule each of the one or more tasks to be performed by the respective selected one or more sensors.
