21ST CENTURY SYSTEMS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A09-172

Description

Current Army logistics systems contain massive amounts of data that need to be effectively extracted into actionable information. But, the databases themselves do not contain all that is needed to make it actionable. The Army needs an effective Enterprise Intelligence System to find data from many sources, process it in an integrated fashion, and disseminate actionable information on the readiness of the fleet vehicles. 21st Century Systems, Incorporated, in conjunction with the Intelligent Maintenance Systems Center, proposes the Agent-Enabled Logistics Enterprise Intelligence System (AELEIS) to meet this need. AELEIS features an agent-based approach to autonomously mine data from multiple sources, and combine it into actionable knowledge. AELEIS processes data in many forms and the processing occurs in the background so that information is available at a moment’s notice when the operator needs it. AELEIS uses advanced technologies such as Adaptive Resonance Theory, Evidential Reasoning, and Control Theoretic diagnostics and prognostics. With our extensive experience in decision support, service oriented technologies, and ontological systems, and with a 100th percentile SBIR commercialization rating, we are just the company to deliver this capability that will allow logistics managers and commanders to make faster, better decisions that will ultimately save lives on the battlefield.
