Theater Multi-Mission Planner Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Topic No.: N161-042 Topic Title: Theater Multi-Mission Planner Proposal No.: N161-042-0161 Firm: Adaptive Methods, Inc 5860 Trinity Parkway Suite 200 Centreville, Virginia 20120 Contact: Lewis Hart Phone: (703) 667-7816 Web Site: http://www.adaptivemethods.com Abstract: Adaptive Methods, teamed with Metron, propose to develop innovative approaches, methods and software Tactical Decision Aids (TDAs) to provide a Theater Multi-Mission Planner (TM2P) that is operationally effective and provides high fidelity plans while remaining computationally tractable. Multi-mission planning and coordination requires focus across large data sets to develop tradeoffs between mission performance and quantifiable risk management metrics which is impractical using today's mission planning tools and methods. Theater planners must currently use a largely manual process to address the appropriate allocation and assignment of resources and assets to real world operational tasking. This manual process is very time consuming and it has the potential to draw operators away from other necessary tasks and risks reducing observations of important information. Our proposed Phase I approach has the overarching objectives of developing a technology basis for TM2P and demonstration of its feasibility using analytic and demonstrative methods. The Adaptive Method's team proposes to develop the initial concept for Theater Multi-Mission Planner (TM2P) capability, with an initial focus on Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) in a background of total theater level force missions. Benefits: Adaptive Methods has a strong track record of transitioning SBIR developed technologies into production programs. The technology being developed and prototype during the Phase II efforts is ideally suited for transition to U. S. Navy Under Sea Warfare (USW) forces. The commercialization plan addresses a subset of the anticipated market and initially focuses on the CRUDES, LCS, Submarine, P-8 and FF platforms. Our forecast includes Our primary transition target is envisioned to be CV-TSC Build 9 and USW-DSS Build 3. This system has great commercial application and is widely adaptable, however the most immediate applications are those similar to Theater ASW, such as prediction of narcotics smuggling operations, likely border crossing or covert transit corridors, or counter criminal, terrorist or civil unrest operations. Therefore secondary markets we intend to pursue, include the delivery of this technology to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Business development and technology development with the HHS has included development of with the Department of HHS has included the application of acoustic signal processing techniques to detect certain pathogens. Business and technology development efforts with these and other potential customers will continue. Return
