STOTTLER HENKE ASSOCIATES, INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: MDA21-010
STOTTLER HENKE ASSOCIATES, INC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- Obligated amount $1,499,934 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.

Description
We propose to develop a new approach to labeling and retrieving program data: Metadata for an Exploitable Repository of Authoritative Lifecycle Data (EMERALD). Metadata assigned by interdependent automated classifiers and extractors will support precise retrieval of authoritative documents and fragments based on expressive queries. Expressive yet low overhead query formulation and browsing will make it easy and quick for users to access information relevant to their ongoing work tasks. Data-enabled workflow support will expedite and coordinate enterprise activity by exploiting organization, program, and process models to identify, invoke, and direct workflows. Flexible model-driven architecture will enable a rich scalable web application that evolves to support emerging enterprise needs driven by digital transformation. During Phase II, we will refine system requirements, use cases, and scenarios. We will develop and validate a TRL 6 operational prototype focused on legacy document/fragment metadata assignment and exploitation. We will carry out explorations towards extending EMERALD to deal with other forms of digital engineering data. We will develop a Phase III transition plan.
