The challenge of providing the sensor operator and tactical decision maker with all pertinent acoustic information and clues associated with any given contact has long eluded a solution. The technology to address this shortcoming is now available and we are pleased to have this opportunity to propose a method to implement a solution. 21st Century Systems Inc. proposes to leverage its considerable ...

Software Agents and Agent Systems are steadily transitioning from small research projects to mainstream industrial and government markets. Multi-agent systems will live up to the expectations of implementing an openly-architected replacement of legacy stove-piped systems by providing flexible, customizable, user-friendly network-centric solutions. However, most of the currently available multi-age ...

Culturally diverse people are now participating in military multinational coalition applications as well as in extreme environments - once the province of American males drawn from a relatively homogenous cultural pool. Human biases and routines, capabilities and limitations strongly influence overall system performance; whether during operations or in simulations using models of humans. Many mi ...

A number of applications in other commercial as well as military sectors require that multiple distributed data sources be consulted when a specific need arises, and that the results of these consultations be presented to the user. Often, these results are complex and involve multiple documents. Presentation of such results involves automatically generating browsable documents so that the user c ...

In this proposal, we will develop a uniform framework, called a multimedia mediator, for integrating and querying multimedia data as well as heterogenous data located on a distributed network. The multimedia mediator will use distributed computing technology to scale up to real-world applications. We will develop graphical query languages and query engines whereby an end-user can query a system ...

We shall deliver an information exploitation demonstration prototype simulatirsg actual rlata exploitation. Within this prototype we shall deliver five different types of capabilities. The first three capabilities are data mining tools. These tools shall demonstrate the capability of identifying electronic patterns or f ingerprints in data, relationships between data, and visualizations of such ...

We propose a plan sentinel prototype consisting of three components. The first component is the development of a plan mining tool which identifies and computes false or missing assumptions and deviations to plans and time phased tasks. The second component, the annotated database, computes plans which the plan mining tool access and parses into a logical annotated rule set. Finally, MAVIS, a to ...
