Multi-Source Imagery and Geopositional Exploitation (MSIGE) Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-100 Topic Title: Multi-Source Imagery and Geopositional Exploitation (MSIGE) Proposal No.: N101-100-0888 Firm: TICOM Geomatics, Inc. 9130 Jollyville Road Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78759 Contact: David Boles Phone: (512) 345-5005 Web Site: www.ticom-geo.com Abstract: Counter-insurgency (COIN), counter-terrorism, and anti-piracy operations require an accelerated kill chain (find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess - F2T2EA) because these elusive targets present brief and sparse windows of opportunity for collection and targeting. STRIKE LINE will provide a real-time, fused battlespace picture and support time-sensitive targeting (TST) by developing software services for DCGS-N delivering integrated SIGINT geopositional (geolocation including SRI) and imagery data (e.g. FMV) from sensors operating across multi-level security (MLS) boundaries. Two case studies (Scan Eagle UAS and EP-3 / other P-3 aircraft) will be utilized to analyze options for providing combined MULTI-INT data from aircraft to DCGS-N. Key focus areas include data transfer management and MLS communications architecture, SIGINT / Imagery data integration, error propagation including data representation and fidelity improvements, and SIGINT / Imagery CONOPS analysis. STRIKE LINE offers rapid transition of the capability to greatly expand DCGS-N access to CSG/ESG organic ISR assets (e.g. ScanEagle, MH-60, E2-C, others). It will also be interoperable with theater-level Navy assets (EP-3 and others) through native HITS/ISRnet C2 and Joint / National assets via two widely deployed standards: the Airborne Overhead Interoperability Office, Joint Interface Control Document (AOIO JICD v4.0) and Cursor on Target (CoT). Benefits: STRIKE LINE will enable transitionable capabilities by addressing the key roadblocks for delivering integrated SIGINT and FMV to DCGS-N. These include data aggregation over tactical communications and integration of disparate data types. One significant benefit of STRIKE LINE is that it can be rapidly transitioned to DCGS-N and be deployed on operational platforms. Because these new capabilities will be developed as extensions of existing HITS/ISRnet software already deployed on Navy ships, aircraft, and shore sites, the certification and accreditation process will be significantly streamlined. Because ISRnet is also a component of GEOnet systems used by USMC and SOCOM, the STRIKE LINE capabilities can be rapidly transitioned to other DoD services as well. Return
