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 ...

AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique abductive information modeling (AIMTM) technology to develop a sensor fusion demonstration for command, control, communication, computer and information systems. Phase I is the necessary and sufficient precursor to an operational disparate sensor fusion for C4I applications. Phase I will show the feasibility of using AIM to model sensor data, threats ...

This effort will result in the development of a Satellite Telemetry Anomaly Resolution (STAR) tool that automatically: 1) analyzes historical telemetry data, 2) learns expected signal characteristics for specific telemetry signals using prediction networks¿ (an advanced statistical modeling approach) and innovative case based reasoning (CBR) techniques, and 3) applies these models to detect and ...

AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique Statistical Network ModelingTM technology to develop a non contact prognostic assessment tool that 1) acquires, processes, and analyzes electronic radiated signal data, 2) learns the expected characteristics and patterns of specific radiated signals measured from microelectronic semiconductor devices using AbTech's statistical network modeling techno ...

The human brain processes information from several sensors of the body and extracts meaningful information about the environment. Likewise, the ability to fuse multilevel, multifaceted processes dealing with the association, correlation, and combination of data from single or multiple sources is desired to attain state and identity estimates in a timely manner. However, current data fusion techniq ...

A low risk, low cost, classical design observation vehicle will be developed for gull launching. The observation vehicle concept is based on a light-weight loitering aircraft, packaged in a "shell" that will enable the aircraft to survive the large acceleration/deceler- ation loads associated with gun launch systems. The shell encasing the observation aircraft and avionics payload is designed to ...

Accurate Automation proposes to design and develop the architecture for an instrumentation system for hypersonic aircraft. We will design an instrumentation system for use in a Mach 8-10 hypersonic testbed for the HyTech engine. We will investigate the feasibility of incorporating a plasma generation capability into this instrumentation system. We will develop an enhanced instrumentation system ...

A special purpose robot to remove corrosion from the interior surfaces of the ductwork in AEDC's Engine Test Facility (ETF) will be designed and developed. The robot willimplemnt the Laser Induced Surface Improvement (LISI) process which alloys the interior surface of the ductwork with a chromimum compound. The system will include a remotely operated robot capable of traversing the ETF ductwork, ...

This project will develop improved sensor fusion of underwater surveillance and fire control related ]data based upon biologically inspired data association and sensor fusion techniques. In this _proposed SBIR, AAC will examine under-sea surveillance requirements for providing contact data hassociation for two or more contacts in the littoral environment. We will analyze biologically-inspired [tec ...
