METRON INCORPORATED — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: The objectives of the effort are to improve, expand and use the Bandwidth Analysis Toolkit

Description

The objectives of the effort are to improve, expand and use the Bandwidth Analysis Toolkit built in phase II in the following ways: Optimize Traffic Processors - Enhance and optimize BAT"s data processing capabilities in order to increase the level of automation in the processing and preparation of data. Work on this task will decrease the time from data collection to analysis by end users and will have the end goal of processing data without the need for analyst assistance. Enhance Acquisition Analysis Tool The contractor will enhance the Acquisition Analysis mode of BAT to incorporate scenario information and CONOPS to determine bandwidth demand. It will allow the acquisition analyst to compare bandwidth demand as a function of future program of record changes to Navy platforms and applications and compare the demand to proposed changes to Navy communications programs. The toolkit will be able to output high resolution bandwidth demand which will be in a format that is readable high-resolution communications models. These models will then be capable of evaluating different proposed communications programs of record and to determine the requirements for Navy communications. The enhancement design to the toolkit will allow adding additional functionality in the future.
