Theater Intelligent Missile Response & Optimization of Defenses (TIMROD)

"When a potentially hostile missile is launched, theater commanders need to make timely decisions that may impact American and allied troops in the theater of operations. Theater Intelligent Missile Response & Optimization of Defenses (TIMROD) will takeadvantage of 21st century technology to provide Theater Missile Defense commanders a current, accurate, and complete picture of the battlespace in which they must make timely life or death decisions. In this Phase I SBIR, SYTRONICS will develop, inconcert with our Government sponsors, an initial set of requirements for TIMROD. SYTRONICS will develop a top-level design and architecture to the extent necessary to perform a feasibility assessment. SYTRONICS will demonstrate the concepts involved withthe 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, SYTRONICSwill contact potential commercial customers (homeland security, etc.) and product-marketing partners to ascertain the commercial product potential for TIMROD. Military users of the Theater Intelligent Missile Response and Optimization of Defenses (TIMROD)research will realize increased efficiency in parsing large amounts of data to and from numerous sources and the assimilation of meaningful information providing theater commanders with im
