Organic Sensor Fusion Assistance Aid (OSFAA) Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Topic No.: N151-035 Topic Title: Organic Sensor Fusion Assistance Aid (OSFAA) Proposal No.: N151-035-0197 Firm: Daniel H. Wagner, Associates, Incorporated 559 West Uwchlan Avenue Suite 140 Exton, Pennsylvania 19341 Contact: W. Monach Phone: (757) 757-7700 Abstract: In order to improve the ability of submarines to operate effectively and safely when submerged, and to reduce the task load of the submarine fusion team as they carry out their complex tracking and Situation Awareness (SA) tasks, Daniel H. Wagner Associates proposes to develop automated and efficient algorithms and software for an Organic Sensor Fusion Assistance Aid (OSFAA) that will recommend high-confidence sensor track associations to the submarine fusion team. OSFAA will allow the submarine fusion team to better and more efficiently associate report/track data from all of the submarine sensors. Benefits: These OSFAA capabilities, integrated onto submarines (or onto surface craft) will make their operations significantly more efficient, less stressful, and less time consuming, resulting in the following expected benefits: (1) Higher probability of detecting/classifying threat targets before being detected/classified by them, (2) Lower probability of collision/near-collision, (3) Reduced time to successfully classify targets of interest, (4) Improved situational awareness (SA), and (5) Reduced operator task load.
