Operational Relevance:

• Consumes data output streams from a variety of C4I applications and fuses them into a unified COP that can be tailored to user needs

• Allows users are able to modify their web pages to reflect and support their unique area of operations

• Streamlines the current C2 paradigm by providing real-time information simultaneously to every echelon in the chain of command

• Permits access to the system from any unclassified, CAC-enabled internet browser

Description

C4I Suite is a set of core services for fusing and filtering the information from multiple, disparate systems and sensors to provide more complete information to AT/FP, EM watch standers and senior executive decision makers.

With C4I Suite, all operations centers can share status information and the combined output of their C4I systems. Geospatial visualization systems and agent based analyses then transform the data into actionable knowledge in a cutting edge common operational picture.

Description:The Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (PAAS) was developed following the Hurricane Season of 2005 where thousands of Navy Families were affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. PAAS provides an automated means for accounting for personnel, assessing the impact, and tracking recovery efforts provided following a natural or manmade disaster. The system also provides a means to disseminate information, instructions, phone numbers, website, etc for the users.PAAS is used to determine where Navy personnel are geographically located to assess the number of personnel affected by event (tornado, flooding, etc), or number of personnel who may be impacted (hurricane, pandemic). It provides workforce management tools and reports to coordinate the recovery efforts of multiple disparate subject matter experts.

Sensor Management System (SMS) and Joint Perimeter and Surveillance System (JPSC2)

OVERVIEW

The SMS/JPSC2 system is a state of the art security system that provides complete security Command and Control including surveillance and perimeter security through numerous sensors including, marine & ground RADAR, EO/IR cameras. This system is capable of surveying any area, detecting and tracking any intrusion and automatically notifying the Security Watch Officer.

OPERATION

Simple drawing tools and a graphical map- based display allow easy setup and use. The JPSC2 client allows the operator to draw “virtual fences,” and create business rules to alert the operator when certain criteria are met. The system also allows operators to mark tracks, display track detail, slew to track, follow track, retrieve historical data, and full sensor or camera control.

FIELDING

This system can be installed at any secure facility or Base with the requirement for upgraded surveillance and perimeter security. Further, the system can provide a cost effective alternative to physical barriers, both land and water. For regions with the requirement to reduce manpower the system can offset personnel reductions with automated surveillance.

JPSC2/SMS Homeland Security / Homeland Defense (HLS/HLD)

Description:The HLS/HLD portfolio provides systems engineering,design, acquisition, integration, sustainment and logisticssupport of Sensor Management Systems includingIntrusion Detection (IDS), Access Control (ACS) andPerimeter Surveillance.

Automated Wildfire Mapping from Satellite Imagery

▼ Automated Wildfire Mapping from Satellite Imagery▼ Problem: Capability needed to map fire lines quickly and accurately, over large areas, and send those maps to first

responders and disaster managers.▼ Solution: Use software to automatically analyze freely available satellite imagery to create Google Earth

Overlays (or other mapping overlays) of fire extent thus providing situational awareness to first responders and planners in a timely manner. Fire boundaries, or “hot spots”, can be automatically detected beneath smoke as well, producing a reliable map of fire extent which would otherwise require the dangerous and expensive deployment of resources and manpower.

▼ Approach: Leverage existing and available satellite imagery (at no cost) from the San Diego Eagle Vision ground site system. Develop automated software to extract fire boundaries from available high resolution, large footprint satellite imagery. Automatically produce small sized Google Earth files (or other map overlay files) for quick transmission.

Major Accomplishments, Products, Deliverables, Future Milestones:

FY07: Initiate research into computational linguistic analysis, visual and iconic language; wireless glove-static gesture development; establish co-development funding from DTRA JSTO

FY08: Linguistic analysis of tactical chat; Prototype candidate icon/gestures; Prototype wireless gesture-capable glove with dynamic algorithm; submit second invention disclosure; acquired two patents pending

FY09: Refine CBD iconic language (library); 3 wireless glove prototypes; VisChat software as experimental Web3.0 platform; submit third invention disclosure

FY10: TRL 45 IP Demo participation; CBD Icon-gesture language completion

FY11: Establish three NBIC research area; nanotech research initiated

P536 ILIR TSAT (Tactical Situational Assessment Technology)

Operational Relevance:

• Personnel who cannot type on a keyboard, read a screen display, or hear voice communications

• CBD personnel in MOPP gear: FEMA and DHS personnel in HAZMAT gear

• Military personnel and First Responders in noisy, dirty/dusty, smoky environments

• Navy and Coast Guard personnel under (loud) storm conditions• Personnel without line-of-sight contact, under dark (no ambient

light) conditions, or need for covertness• Multiple astronauts in space (>5-7)• Divers underwater with need to contact each other and land-based

command centers• Handicapped with significant impairments.• Sight impaired: Braille code• Hearing impaired: American Sign Language (ASL)

Description:

TSAT will provide a more proficient language for situation assessment (SA) updates, incorporating icons, symbols and gestures that can be transmitted electronically via a gesture-recognition data glove that serves as a next-generation keyboard. The intent is to improve the ability of warriors to more quickly and efficiently communicate their situational understanding and coordinate their activities across the net-centric environment, despite MOPP gear constraints, intense heat, noise, dirt, need for covertness, no ambient light, and jitter in the tactical network.
