National Intelligent Missile Response & Optimization of Defenses (NIMROD)

"When a potentially hostile missile is launched, decision-makers manning the National Missile Defense (NMD) Battle Management/Command, Control, and Communications Center (BM/C3) at Cheyenne Mountain, CO need to make timely decisions that may impact millionsof American lives. National Intelligent Missile Response & Optimization of Defenses (NIMROD) will take advantage of 21st century technology to provide National Missile Defense commanders a current, accurate, and complete picture of the battlespace inwhich they must make timely life or death decisions. In this Phase I SBIR, SYTRONICS will develop, in concert with our Government sponsors, an initial set of requirements for NIMROD. SYTRONICS will develop a top-level design and architecture to theextent necessary to perform a feasibility assessment. SYTRONICS will demonstrate the concepts involved with the integration of the various technologies necessary to provide an engagement decision-aid. The concept demonstration will include data fusion,intelligent agent algorithms, and process tools to visualize decision-quality information. Finally, SYTRONICS will contact potential commercial customers (homeland security, etc.) and product-marketing partners to ascertain the commercial productpotential for NIMROD. Military users of the National Intelligent Missile Response and Optimization of Defenses (NIMROD) research will realize increased efficiency in parsing large amounts of data and
