Torch Technologies, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: Torch proposes an innovative fusion of key technologies associated with an optimized asset

Description

Torch proposes an innovative fusion of key technologies associated with an optimized asset pairing of sensors and weapon systems supporting enhanced interceptor utilization. Our real-time sensor/weapon asset pairing (SWAP) algorithm and data fusion framework seeks to optimize sensor resource and weapons management in a synergistic fashion where sensor and weapon constraints are addressed in parallel with system resource planning. Torch has chosen to make sensor constraint processing a key component of our Phase II real-time SWAP architecture along with an information based non-myopic multiple postulate resource management (MPRM) planning process. The Torch approach leverages our significant experience with regard to the development of real-time network based data fusion architectures. Our Phase II work plan focuses on the implementation and demonstration of a real-time SWAP architecture based upon sensor, weapon, system, and feature performance models integrated within highly efficient MPRM planning algorithms in a network feedback processing architecture. Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-7739 (18 March 14).
