8-Predictive Analytics for Normalcy Reasoning and Anomaly Analysis (8-PANORAMA)
SBC: Boston Fusion Corp. Topic: N193A01Predictive Analytics for NOrmalcy Reasoning and AnoMaly Analysis (PANORAMA) is a machine learning (ML) tool for automatic identification system (AIS) data that learns maritime patterns of life and detects anomalous vessel behavior. PANORAMA learns what is normal for a given ship, taking into account: (1) that ship’s past behavior, (2) the past behavior of similar ships, (3) normalcy patterns in ...

5- Validation of Artificial Intelligence Technologies (VAIT)
SBC: R-DEX Systems, Inc Topic: N193A01As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more ubiquitous in society and the DoD enterprise, trust in the results provided by AI is of paramount importance. To that end, R-DEX Systems introduces VAIT (Validation of Artificial Intelligence Technologies), a processing suite for assessing AI algorithms for validation, trust in the decision-making process, and robustness against adversarial attack. VAIT ...

Focus Area 8- (SPADE) Spatial Anomaly Detection
SBC: Aptima, Inc. Topic: N193A01Coastal and marine navigation, as well as doing so safely, requires the correct identification of vessel type and prediction of behaviors. While the development of Automatic Identification System (AIS) has eased the burden of vessel localization and identification, errors still occur due to improperly configured messages, whether done innocently or maliciously.In order to increase the safety of ou ...

(1) LAV25 LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION USING MACHINE LEARNING
SBC: TAGUP INC Topic: N193A01Current USMC logistics information systems do not possess the predictive modeling and simulation tools required to support strategic mission critical MAGTF planning efforts. Standard maintenance and supply information (service requests, spare parts requisitions, NIIN inventories, fleet readiness metrics, etc.) is readily available in an ERP system and is visualized via custom-built asset health/fl ...

(1)- Actionable Analytics Using AI/ML for Supply and Sustainment Mission Success
SBC: Beacon Interactive Systems LLC Topic: N193A01For N193-A01, Beacon is proposing to develop innovative AI and ML technologies that can predict and prescribe items for resupply within Naval Air Operations. The approach will be to build upon previous successful SBIR transitioned shipboard digital assets. The innovation proposed is to use AI / ML to inform and provide actionable intelligence into the supply chain from the operational point-of-per ...

1- STORMY: Storm-Aware USV Operations using Multi-Objective Autonomy
SBC: Scientific Systems Company Inc. Topic: N193A02STORMY (Storm-Aware USV Operations using Multi-Objective Autonomy) will allow a USV to weigh global mission objectives such as arrivals at a time-prioritized sequence of locations against damage to the vessel due to high seas or collision with other vessels during long-duration missions. The proposed WAVES technology addresses these issues with a two-tiered approach to vehicle motion which conside ...

(2) Adaptive Perception Behaviors (APB)
SBC: Charles River Analytics, Inc. Topic: N193A02To be mission-relevant, Navy unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) must perceive and behave like manned ships. Cameras are valuable for supporting human-like perception because their high-resolution detail enables ship classification, tracking, COLREGS determination, and threat characterization. Human watchstanders use a variety of cues and heuristics to scan the surroundings and contacts optimally, bu ...

5-Context- and AI-Based Reasoning for Identification onBOard UUVs (5-CARIBOU)
SBC: Boston Fusion Corp. Topic: N193A02Context- and AI-Based Reasoning for Identification onBOard UUVs (CARIBOU) is a comprehensive, AI-based automatic target recognition (ATR) agent paired with a fundamentally novel reasoning engine. CARIBOU is designed to provide accurate, robust target recognition capabilities that are not easily fooled by novel classes, dim signals, or attempts to deceive, without requiring a human-in-the-loop or b ...

1- BotSwain, Robotic Coxswain Behavior for High Sea-State Navigation
SBC: FTL Labs Corporation Topic: N193A02The control system of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) needs to weigh mission accomplishment against potential damage from high seas. Once in a high-seas situation, the best immediate course and speed to minimize vessel motions may not coincide with the best path away from the storm. The USV needs a maneuvering storm avoidance and in-storm maneuvering behaviors that balance overall mission accomp ...
