Collaborative Technology Testbed for Quick Response Teams Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-070 Topic Title: Collaborative Technology Testbed for Quick Response Teams Proposal No.: N081-070-1156 Firm: Defense Technologies, Inc. Two Urban Centre 4890 W. Kennedy Blvd., Ste 490 Tampa, Florida 33609 Contact: Todd Sims Phone: (301) 737-8893 Web Site: www.dtiweb.net Abstract: To provide a new collaborative technology testbed for quick response teams, DTI proposes to leverage and extend the EWall tool based on DTI's knowledge and capabilities of the current EWall tool and the NAVAIR USRDL intelligent autonomy system testbed. This testbed successfully supports the evaluation of two multi-vehicle unmanned systems mission planning command and control products in both the laboratory and live environments. This testbed has been proven as a viable architecture to support hosting and evaluation of collaborative technologies. Phase 1 effort would include research, design, and development of the architecture and high-level design of the collaborative technology testbed for quick response teams. Benefits: To make a significant impact on distributed decision making and reduction of travel, there needs to be a proven and understood alternative. To help establish that end, DTI plans to commercialize the test bed so that companies can establish reliable strategies for the distributed decision making that is tailored to their particular market. DTI will market a proven capability and service to market beyond the typical military user. Return
