Because of its politically sensitive nature as a nuclear weapon and its deployment within the continental united states, the small intercontinental ballistic missile is likely to be targeted for attack by a variety of unconventional threats to include terrorists, dissidents and anti-nuclear… More

Army doctrine states that quick, effective command and control (c2) is the key to success on the battlefield. the increasing tempo and lethality of the modern battlefield dictate that the army's dispersed,semi-autonomous units and systems possess the capability to operate effectively on the… More

Army doctrine states that quick, effective command and control is the key to success on the battlefield. the increasing tempo and lethality of the modern battlefield dictate an intelligence, automated command and control system to support the attainment of that essential quick and effective command… More

The very politically sensitive nature of nuclear warfare would presuppose that the ability of the commander to plan for the use of weapons of this type would create the need for a method which would be as fool-proof as possible. early weapons were designated strategic weapons while later developed… More

There is a need to design an army training strategy for developing decision and thinking skills required of leaders in combat. at the core of this strategy must be valid learning techniques. pattern recognition theory is proposed as a strong candidate technique. this sbir suggests an approach for… More

Lb&m associates and perceptronics are uniquely qualified to develop techniques and innovative recommendations for target value analysis. the lb&m/perceptronics team will use a "total system approach" and the report will address all areas (doctrine, materiel, force structure, and training) but… More

The increasing tempo and lethality of the modern battlefield dictate that the army's dispersed, semi-autonomous units and systems possess the capability to defend themselves intelligently on the battlefield by having effective c2 systems which assists in integrating the defenses for weapons… More

The fluid situations encountered on the modern battlefield will dictate that providers of support be responsive, flexible and demonstrate initiative. the realities of our austere logistics structure require that they be highly synchronized to order to meet essential needs with available resources.… More

The purpose of this project is to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Decision Support System (DSS) to support the preparation of the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) by TRADOC and other MACOMS. Phase I includes the development of an operational prototype which proves the worth of the… More

In a few years, the national training center (ntc) will have new simulation systems and upgrades to rdma and rmcs. given effective and efficient integration, tehse systems will increase, significantly, the amount and fidelity of data available to the training snalyst. how effective these… More

The objectives of this phase i work are to: determine the design requirements for an embedded training system. determine the maturity of intelligent tutoring systems for inclusion in embedded training. derive the design for an embedded training system which integrates with decision support systems… More

Simulations and their measurement involve careful experiment design, data gathering and data analysis. The final results obtained from the data analysis only characterize the system behavrior for the range of input parameters covered. Although extrpolation can be used to obtain results for nearby… More

The U.S. Navy has already achieved dramatic cost savings using teleconferencing technology in its Chief Electronic Schoolhouse Network (CESN) project. Even greater cost savings could be achieved if teleconferencing technology were portable and reliable enough to be used from any geographic location… More

DARPA has identified collaborative computing as a technology not yet adequately developed in the marketplace. This need to share and interactively work with documents and other information objects across separate computer systems is really the underlying human business need that originally drove… More

The Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) after-action review (AAR) system produces a standard set of statistical displays that trainers may use to debrief exercise participants. These displays are difficult to interpret and do not readily reveal to the player unit "WHAT happened" during the battle.… More
