Representing knowledge in a triple store is trivial, yet querying and visualizing the resulting knowledge is difficult and inefficient when the number of triples is large. Needing to understand the data models from each of the contributing processes and how these data models overlap or interact further complicates this problem. Visualization tools for knowledge stored in the Resource Description F ...

To maintain situational awareness, analysts must sift through and fuse information across multiple documents, data sources, and modalities (text, imagery, and biometrics). The emergence of Big Data has placed an enormous burden on the analyst as the volume of data to examine has increased dramatically while the analyst"s capacity to understand and fuse information remains constant. Additionally, t ...

The US military and intelligence community has been successfully fusing the data it gathers into actionable intelligence. However, the volume of data is increasing such that it cannot be processed on a single server, calling for distributed data fusion algorithms that operate across a cloud. As data grows to the point of requiring distributed storage, machine learning algorithms capable of produci ...

Adaptive Methods, teamed with Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation (NASC), proposes to develop algorithms for a Tactical Decision Aid (TDA) capable of adaptively tracking and predicting the locations of drifting mines. The TDA is capable of optimizing Mine Counter Measure (MCM) asset deployment plans and producing maneuver routes that minimize ship risks. Our approach develops new technologies for ...

The goal of the proposed work is to use real-time environmental observations, wind and ocean current models, and other sources of information to predict the drift of mines. The predicted trajectories of the mines will be used as inputs to modules that will be developed to recommend (1) search plans to search for or neutralize mines and (2) ship paths that minimize risk.

Our military"s ability to dominate the battlespace depends on the ability to first"see"the battlespacethat is, for our military commanders to have awareness of the environment, entities, activities, and intent of both our adversaries and ourselves. The things we don"t control must be observed, interpreted, and analyzed to understand a situation and predict potential outcomes."Observations"come fro ...

There is a critical real-time cycle of dependency between knowing, deciding and acting that will provide Program Managers (PMs) the ability to find the most efficient path to bring programs together to deliver coordinated capability to the warfighter. SimVentions has developed technology for the creation and use of multi-tasking (MT) models. An MT model can be thought of as an algorithm for analyz ...

The accurate representation of the rotor wake, especially the tip vortex structure, in a computationally efficient and algorithmically straight forward way is crucial for prediction of rotor aerodynamic performance, noise emission, and rotor structural dynamics. A promising approach for design and optimization is the vorticity confinement (VC) method that minimizes the numerical diffusion of vorti ...
