Imagery analysts face a number of challenges that complicate their ability to gain contextual awareness, particularly when exploiting multiple forms of sensor data. Faced with adaptable adversaries, analysts require advanced training tools that span a variety of mission contexts. Because no analyst can be an expert in every sensor platform, what is needed is a training tool that senses and adapts ...

Solid waste disposal and/or destruction are problems that cannot be ignored in patrol base camps or combat outposts and are frequently cited as one of the pressing concerns for established camps. MSW Power has developed a Solid Waste Destruction System (SWDS) consisting of a compactor that mechanically and thermally removes moisture from patrol base camp solid waste, a pyrolysis unit in which the ...

Measures of the usability of systems have traditionally focused on the physical fit between man and machine. We propose to develop model-based measures of cognitive fit, or cognitive fightability. The proposed measures are a function of the congruencebetween three factors: the mission, the cognitive abilities and capacities of warfighters, and the information presentation and control features the ...

To support the Joint Task Force (JTF) commander and staff in meeting the decision-aiding and visualization requirements of Stability and Support Operations (SASO), we propose to develop a cognitively-based software environment to address currentshortcomings of existing military command and control (C2) systems. Functional requirements were derived from an in-depth Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) of ...

Higher energy density and longer life fuel cells are desired for long life electric power production. It is desired to improve the operating lifetime of fuel cells to continuously power sub-watt sensors for a variety of applications including missilecontainer health monitors. Electrochemical Design Technologies proposes a Phase I program to demonstrate a novel fuel cell that has a long operating l ...

There is a need in the modern military to optimize the time physician's spend interacting with patients. For example, a goal is for doctors

A multi-level web-connected network of meteorological sensors has the potential to gather environmental data in real time while automatically disseminating information to all echelons of military personnel. We discuss the design of a distributed, wirelesssurface meteorological data collection and dissemination network based on field-proven technology already in widespread use in government environ ...
