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 neighboror long time ally with similar but distinctly separate C2 styles or a geographically separated ally with little common C2 techniques, the end pr ...

It is a global extent of terrorist networks, opposed to large powers, attacking the U.S Navy abroad, U.S. Embassies, and now in our homeland. Traditional methods are based on defending from what has happened in the past:

In response to SBIR solicitation OSD03-027, 21st Century Systems, Inc. (21CSI) is pleased to propose investigating and developing a software agent system organized in a hierarchically networked architecture that incorporates use of multiple existingsystems into a high-level information fusion system, entitled

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 develop a dynamic agent web architecture and software prototype that builds on top of COTS database integration technology to deliver view management and data mining services.The data mining services shall consist of case based reasoning and association. We shall use case based reasoning and association agents in identifying new links and relationships within data contain in shipboar ...

A stratified random sampling technique is used to minimize the time until detection of users of illicit drugs. The stratification is based on likelihood of drug use and importance of the billet occupied. Likelihood of drug used is calculated from fundamental characteristics (e.g., age, sex, education), performance, health and behavior (e.g., relative amount of sick leave, unusual behavior) ...

The project addresses the development of a 64K Massively Parallel P rocessor (MPP) accelerator board together with OS software for installation on a HP-748 workstation providing generation of real-time, high-fidelity, high pixel density and high refresh rate graphic images. The MPP board will be based on associative string processors (ASPs) in a modular massively parallel computer (MPC) ar ...

We propose demonstration of a bistatic HF radar to map vector currents, current shear, and wind vector fields using a multiple-frequency bistatic HF radar capability currently under development. The proposal leverages on our ongoing work in bistatic HFdigital transceiver development for Office of Naval Research, our development of a ship RCS measurement radar for ONR/ NSWC on the west coast, and o ...

One of the most important applications of mid-caliber (5-inch) Naval guns is in meeting the defensive requirements of the Close-In-Weapon-System (CIWS). The function of the CIWS is to engage and defeat aircraft and cruise missile threats that have avoided or survived the extended area defenses. AMELEX offers to explore combining a guidance and control/divert system with a radar or IR seeker in the ...

Airborne SAR systems currently exist and are used for wide-area surveillance and ground mapping. The majority of deployed systems have frequencies (400 MHz-30 GHz) which, in most cases, cannot penetrate the soil to the depth required for detection of buried mines and unexploded ordnance. Lower frequencies are required for penetration of the ground. However, in the lower parts of the frequency spec ...
