The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the near-term feasibility of producing and deploying an enhanced type of distributed control system for sensor networks. The proposed architecture (called CHESS - Controller for HEterogeneous Sensor Systems)will improve situational awareness in… More

This proposed Phase 2 project will develop a prototype version of a Controller for Heterogeneous Sensor Systems (CHESS) to provide network-centric sensor control for multi-INT geolocation applications. CHESS will use an XML-based control language to coordinate activities among COMINT, ELINT, and… More

NEMO (NESI Extension for Multi-INT Operations) is a software framework that will combine new and legacy techniques to support realtime SOA sensor network operations over disadvantaged and secure data communications netowrks.BENEFITS: NEMO will provide next generation performance for ISR missions… More

The goal of this effort is to develop prototype algorithms to determine the optimal positioning of sensors and communications platforms relative to the C4ISR mission objectives. Sensor positioning is critical in achieving time sensitive targeting in a distributed sensor network management… More

Real-time precision geolocation of COMINT signals of interest is a top priority in the GWOT. As communication signals and standards such as 3GSM, WCDMA, and CDMA2000 proliferate at unprecedented rates, the number of emitters is scaling dramatically. In the GWOT, almost any signal could be a… More

The goal of this Phase II proposal is to develop a prototype application service that can determine the optimal selection and positioning of sensors and communications platforms relative to the C4ISR mission objectives.

Counter-insurgency (COIN), counter-terrorism, and anti-piracy operations require an accelerated kill chain (find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess - F2T2EA) because these elusive targets present brief and sparse windows of opportunity for collection and targeting. STRIKE LINE will provide a… More

Tactical Counter-insurgency (COIN), counter-terrorism, and anti-piracy operations require a combination of human and machine-based ISR collections to be accelerated through the Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) processes to support rapid kill chain. GeoTRAC (Geolocation and… More

Tactical counter-insurgency (COIN), counter-terrorism, and anti-piracy operations require a combination of human and machine-based ISR collections to be accelerated through the Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) processes of small units. Lightweight mobile communication and computing… More

Under SBIR Topic N101-100 (Multi-Source Imagery and Geopositional Exploitation [MSIGE]), three Phase I performers developed capability concepts to address different aspects of the overall MITS problem set. In Phase 2, we collectively propose to develop a prototype DCGS-N capability for Multi-INT ISR… More
