Predictive Model for Imaging Underwater Objects through the Air-Sea Interface - MP 61-12 Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-141 Topic Title: Predictive Model for Imaging Underwater Objects through the Air-Sea Interface - MP 61-12 Proposal No.: N122-141-0463 Firm: Metron, Inc. 1818 Library Street Suite 600 Reston, Virginia 20190-6242 Contact: Tom Giddings Phone: (703) 326-2828 Web Site: www.metsci.com Abstract: The proposed effort seeks to leverage existing and potential future physical modeling efforts, and to develop new physical models as required, to provide a comprehensive simulation and performance prediction capability for airborne electro-optical imaging of submerged objects. A plan will be developed to integrate these models into Mine Warfare Command & Control software systems to provide tactically relevant system performance predictions to support mission planning and tactical decision making. Benefits: Metron will work to formalize a Technology Transition Agreement (TTA) with the Program Executive Office, Littoral Combat Ships (PEO LCS) for the products developed under this proposed effort. The eventual goal is integration within MEDAL EA, NSAM, and/or EPMA to provide tactical decision aids and mission planning tools that support the operation use of airborne EO sensing for MCM. Return
