Not Available This proposal prescribes an approach for developing a Survivable Multi Level Secure (MLS) Architecture (SMA). This survivable computing architecture will allow a DD21 class platform to rapidly prepare in real time for the recovery and protection of critical C2 and C4I applications in the event of a pending threat such as an incoming missile or to respond to abnormal operating loads ...

The reduction of crew sizes in new Army systems such as Future Combat System (FCS) is threatening to overload the cognitive abilities of the remaining operators. Since past technology advances have already served to automate many of the rote proceduraltasks contributing to crew workload, much of the remaining improvement must come through application of automation and aiding for the more complex ...

The overall CODA objective in Phase II is to produce a mature, useful, and marketable set of cognitive decision agents for use within the Multi-Role Armament System (MRAS) Fires reference architecture. CODA will be modular, and expandable to otherapplications, such as Objective Force Warrior. CODA provides intelligent players for use within complex combat command and control systems. These agen ...

A concept for a Gaze-based Point-And-Click (G-PAC) interface component is proposed as an ideal human-computer interaction technology for operations within moving vehicles. In recent years there has been considerable interest in combat vehicle crewreduction through the incorporation of increased automation. As currently envisioned, these automation systems require the use of mouse or trackball. ...

Not Available MSSA has discovered a mechanical means that can improve drift stability and sensitivity of MEMS accelerometers by orders of magnitude. This will make ultra-precise nano-g accelerometers feasible. We have a unique means that gives a flexure pivoted reference pendulum the appearance of being an inertially free pendulum, it is this discovery that will transform a moderately performing ...

The System for Management and Allocation of Recurring Tasks (SMART) is proposed to facilitate allocation of team tasks in complex Navy systems. SMART offers a model-based framework for identifying the sequence of tasks which a Navy team performs alongwith specification of all relevant performance-influencing factors for the team members, tasks, and context. A variety of techniques for task schedu ...

"The System for Management and Allocation of Recurring Tasks (SMART) will aid team management for complex Navy systems, with initial application to the Area Air Defense Coordination (AADC) system. SMART manages the sequence of tasks which a Navy teamperforms based on specification of relevant performance-influencing factors. A cognitive model serves as an intelligent agent to generate aiding re ...

Although computerized patient records have been the focus of much recent research and a number of commercial systems have been developed, they have met resistance from the clinician user community because key end-user issues have not been addressed.Previous research by the proposed research team applied cognitive and ethnographic methods to analyze clinician needs for interacting with patient reco ...

The proposed research improves computer access for individuals impaired in their ability to operate manual input devices. By leveraging and extending eye-voice interface technology recently developed by the proposed principal investigator and research team, assistive technology will be developed to allow individuals who are limited in their ability or totally unable to use their hands to interact ...
