ADAPTIVE METHODS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: This proposal acknowledges the difficulties of developing an accurate, actionable represen

Description

This proposal acknowledges the difficulties of developing an accurate, actionable representation of the battlespace in a Common Tactical Picture. As the Navy matures and expands cross platform network communications, the amount of data shared by multiple platforms in a strike group will continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. A new multi-platform correlation capability with associated tools and displays are required to enable the operator to take advantage of this data. This new cross-platform correlation capability must expediently correlate tracks from multiple platforms into a single geographic representation. Automation and operator tools are required in order to not increase workload. With an initial multi-static processing and fusion capability defined in Phase I, the emphasis of the Phase II work is to implement, integrate, and demonstrate this new multi-platform correlation capability and its ability to facilitate the generation of a Common Tactical Picture.
