INTELLISENSE SYSTEMS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A19-106

Description

To address the Army’s need for a system to aggregate small arms fire control data to identify the asset with the highest probability of successfully engaging the target, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to develop a new Distributed Asset Target Engagement Maximization (DATEM) system based on a novel combination of ISI-developed communications devices with existing ballistics tools. Specifically, the innovation in extending the communications ranges of existing ballistics sensors will enable DATEM to fuse fire control and sensor information within a central ballistics calculator so probability of hit (P(hit)) for each asset can be determined and presented to the unit commander. As a result, this system helps to maximize the probability of successfully neutralizing the enemy, which directly addresses the Army’s requirements. In Phase I ISI will develop and document a DATEM system architecture and methodology for sharing fire control data over a generic network. ISI will demonstrate DATEM’s feasibility by implementing software to compute a multi-source firing solution and P(hit) for each asset. In Phase II, ISI will simultaneously connect over 50 physical devices through a DATEM ATAK plug-in prototype and display their respective P(hit) values and other information on a map, factoring local terrain into the firing solution.
