DANIEL H WAGNER ASSOCIATES INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N211-048
DANIEL H WAGNER ASSOCIATES INC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $140,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N211-048 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
For this effort, Daniel H. Wagner Associates (DHWA) -- partnering with Kern Technology Group, LLC (KTG) -- will design track association and fusion algorithms that capitalize on concurrent programming techniques, reduce data volume, reduce data density, and increase display organization. A global fused picture represents an `executive view' of sorts, where each global track is equipped with a state estimate that incorporates all available information. Accompanying each global track is its local track `pedigree,' which allows the operator to access the raw information that comprises the global track. This allows the operator to `drill down' into a local track by selecting the appropriate `screen of interest.' Our proposed algorithms also handle a wide variety of track data, including both active and passive tracks from sub-surface, surface, and airborne sensors. We expect significantly improved operator undersea warfare (USW) search performance and confidence in human-machine teaming.
