KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: MDA15-006

Description

The adoption of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technologies for BMDS planning, test and evaluation, operations, and mission control must be undertaken in a carefully planned manner. Lacking are methods to test the effectiveness of user interface technologies for improved situation awareness and decision-making ability. Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.’s (KBSI) Intuitive User Interface Technology Evaluation for Optimal BMDS Performance (INTUITION) method and application framework addresses this challenge by supporting the rapid configuration (and quantitative evaluation) of highly efficient human-machine user interfaces for various phases of BMDS engagement, including long-term, mid-term and dynamic planning, implementation and deployment, operations, battle management and post-battle forensics. Building off the successful Phase I innovation, the Phase II project enhance the INTUITION methods and tools leading to a hardened, focused, and transition-ready INTUITION missile defense technology application. The resulting technology will provide MDA with an extensible framework and a robust HMI evaluation platform for current and future BMDS Systems.
