TRIDEUM CORPORATION — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N162-101

TRIDEUM CORPORATION — 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 $79,997. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Topic code N162-101 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description

The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) family of standards has made significant strides in providing interoperability and reuse of military avionics software across a common development platform. Significant and troublesome incompatibilities can remain between implementations even with standards conformance. These incompatibilities can arise from a variety of sources and can be subtle and difficult to discover and should be discovered during integration testing. Trideum and its partner StackFrame are pleased to propose an important step towards solving this problem. Our approach levies expertise developed primarily in the simulation interoperability domain and is built on an open source interoperability platform the team originally developed for the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office called Osseus. We propose to develop the FACE Integration Support Tool (FIST), an interoperability schema and a real-time Data Model Verification Logic capability. FIST will allow the automated detection of implementation inconsistencies in the Data Models as well as the ability to visualize and rapidly understand those differences. We believe this is a significant step towards solving the FACE incompatibility issues and is achievable under a Phase I SBIR. This approach also has great benefit for many other domains that may have similar standards interoperability issues.
