As demonstrated with recent engagements, US forces will not go into combat alone. Multinational coalition forces will be the norm and our forces must flexibly adapt to the command and control (C2) environment with the newly formed team. Whether a neighbor or long time ally with similar but distinctly separate C2 styles or a geographically separated ally with little common C2 techniques, the end p ...

The capability to gather, analyze, and integrate vast amounts of information from diverse resources in various types and formats, and to distill valuable and actionable intelligence leads from them has become a top priority for U.S. military commanders. 21st Century Systems, Inc. is pleased to propose to continue our research and development on systems engineering concept entitled “HICIN,” Hy ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) use has increased significantly, from rudimentary reconnaissance to complex missions. In the process of becoming smarter, UAVs have also become more complex and a lot more expensive. An alternative to the complex and costly UAV model is a new paradigm employing multiple, smaller UAVs that operate in virtual swarms to achieve the complex objectives of today’s missi ...

The Navy has issued a challenge to develop an interactive simulation environment that will model tactical and environmental entities in real time and enable goal-directed scenario generation. This will serve the needs of a myriad of applications, such as system integration, testing, certification, training, rehearsal, and life-cycle support. The current methodology of generating pre-planned “ca ...

Complex relationships between power system components and utilization equipment require large amounts of measurement points along the service train and estimation of service capability. In the past, false alarms, missed failures, mishandled preventive maintenance scheduling, and underutilized resources have resulted in poor operational performance. Recent advances in information systems technology ...

The essence of information assessment is the process of distinguishing signals from noise. In the military, intelligence analysts are constantly searching for signals that might suggest an adversary's intentions. In each case the analyst must search through a quantity of data, searching for meaningful patterns within the preponderance of noise. In many contexts, the volume of data available is t ...

Spatial processing for Navy arrays has been designed in nearly all cases based on the a horizontally propagating plane wave model, the underlying assumption being that energy arrives from far field targets as a superposition of free field traveling waves at frequencies determined by the target signature. It is well known that acoustic propagation is much more complex than the simple model due to ...

Among the Navy’s goals for new ship construction in the 21st century are to achieve cost savings in ship installation, to increase survivability of the vital communications infrastructure, and to enable manning reductions through highly automated ship operations. The rapid advancements and proliferation of wireless technology makes it a primary candidate for adaptation to machinery and total sh ...

Among the Navy’s goals for new ship construction are to achieve cost savings in ship installation, to increase survivability of the vital communications infrastructure, and to enable manning reductions through highly automated ship operations. The rapid advancements and proliferation of wireless technology makes it a primary candidate for adaptation to machinery health monitoring, condition bas ...

The current passive anti-submarine warfare (ASW) sonar processing paradigm is manpower-intensive, and relies heavily on expert operators to perform the classification function. 3 Phoenix proposes to apply innovative signal processing technologies to achieve a high level of automation in the detection and classification process in order to reduce the manning and workload levels required for passiv ...
