An open problem confronting Uninhabited Tactical Aircraft (UTA) is the control concept for their successful operation in combat. Unlike reconnaissance UAVs, it will not be practical to operate UTAs with fully pre-programmed missions nor will it be possible to continuosly fly with them from remote… More

There is a major need for unmanned vehicles that act autonomously from humans,thereby reducing both the amount of supervision necessary and the cost associatedwith their operation. In order to accomplish this task, autonomous vehicles musthave the ability to make decisions, assess their health and… More

A major challenge to the successful operation of multiple unmanned vehicles is the necessity to operate effectively and safely under a wide range of changing conditions. In the past, there have been two major paradigms employed to accomplish this control;fully pre-programmed missions and manual… More

"ASI's technology provides distributed, cognitive decision aiding to increase operational effectiveness at reduced manning and skill levels. This framework enables single-operator / multi-vehicle control; real-time situational awareness, and collaborationbetween manned and unmanned vehicles whether… More

This research refines existing associate decision aiding technology and applies it to a new, larger air traffic management (ATM) domain. We have shown in other NASA projects how our associate systems can provide Distributed Air-Ground (DAG) decision aiding to pilots, air traffic controllers, and… More

A goal of the Future Combat System (FCS) is to perform resupply functions under combat conditions without exposing friendly personnel. With the demonstrated success of autonomous vehicles in the Army Research Laboratory's DEMO III Semi-Autonomous Off RoadMobility program this goal is now… More

Our solution to creating a quick response, collaborative capability among Navy SEAL teams is centered upon a system that will provide the SEALs with direct collaboration support, automated collaboration support, intelligence surveillance reconnaissance (ISR), capture and access support, facilitation… More

We propose to evaluate and recommend a set of candidate models of the flow and evolution of population beliefs and intentions as the starting point for developing a deployable DIME Effects Model (DEM) for tactical commanders. DIME (Diplomatic, Information, Military and Economic) seeks to avoid… More

Applied Systems Intelligence proposes to design an intelligent control architecture based on our associate system technology to provide a UAV-equipped medic team the ability to autonomously coordinate activities in a combat environment. In Phase I, ASI will document the specific demands on this type… More

This proposal describes the work performed by the DIME Effects Modeling (DEM) team, composed of Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc. (ASI) and the Center for Advanced Defense Studies (CADS). CADS brings leading technology research and cognitive modeling experience to the partnership while ASI… More

U.S. Army Aviation Soldiers continue to support full spectrum operations across the globe from stability and support operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom to preparation for Major Combat Operations on the Korean peninsula while confronting an ever increasing challenge… More

ASI proposes a most highly innovative approach to optimizing the systems engineering of human-centric complex systems, using a novel cognitive engine framework known as Associate Systems. The ASI solution is a web-based knowledge portal with intelligent decision support guiding the designers and… More

Conflicts within the US military between roles and responsibilities, the use of NGOs on the battlefield, and the role of host nation and allied forces in a time of transition between combat and non-combat only increase the complexity of the PMESII management issues. After a decade of war and an… More

With the advent of glass cockpits in the CH-47F, UH-60M and AH-64D Block III, the Army has recognized the opportunity to control Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) from the cockpit of its manned aircraft. The combined Manned Un-Manned (MUM) team promises to provide the Army aviator with improved… More
