Description

RippleWorx’s proposes to discover, document and design a prototype implementation of our commercially viable and deployed solution that is suitable to the needs of the U.S. Air Force to improve logistics missions, disaster response, and administration of humanitarian aid in the realm of Vertical Takeoff and Landing, and disaster relief efforts. RippleWorx, a woman-owned business, will use its patenting pending data algorithm, combined with Acclinate Genetics a research institute and, a veteran and minority-owned business to support this effort.  Finally, Dr. Mark Pearson, acclaimed researcher and professor at USC, will augment this proposal through his recent research on human behavior through disasters, most notably with COVID-19.  This combined team will be known as “Team RippleWorx” for the rest of the proposal.

Designed for big-data, RippleWorx’ patent-pending algorithm can be used as a basis to develop new models designed for disaster recovery.  This holistic view of data will identify key targets of interest across domains and alert key decision makers of these identified targets of interest in real-time. RippleWorx is designed to analyze trends and notify key personnel when a change has occurred. RippleWorx supports this in both a mobile and a web-based version today. Finally, RippleWorx presents the data in a real-time format in a report or dashboard-format.  Operators can use RippleWorx’s integrated environment to distribute key intelligence in order to improve the efficiency of operational decision making.  RippleWorx designed the interface with WarnerMedia and Special Forces experts so that it is state-of-the-art and highly capable of presenting data in an actionable manner.
