Abstract: Chesapeake Technology International's (CTI's) proposed solution for the "Advanced Modeling and Visualization of Effects for Future Electronic Warfare Systems" SBIR program is building new innovations upon its current Merlin capability to support the additional requirements for emerging and future Electronic Warfare (EW), cyber, and other non-kinetic weapons as well as emerging and future threats against which these systems will operate. CTI's Phase 1 analysis will identify what additional capabilities must be invented and developed to support this future electronic warfare planning and execution environment. Some prototypical capabilities will be developed to show how these new approaches will allow planners to understand this complex operational domain. This not only includes seeing and understanding the threat and non-kinetic weapon capabilities, but also presenting potential interference, negative or corollary effects, potential courses of action (COAs) and their impact, and collaborative and coordinated effects employing multiple non-kinetic capabilities simultaneously or in concert. Finally, CTI will identify how this domain can be assessed and visualized in its relevant dimensions (space, time, spectrum, and potentially cyberspace).
Benefits: Some potential commercial applications of CTI's solution include provide tools to other highly advanced spectrum-dependent or cyber organizations and environments. This includes commercial telecommunications, wireless and wired network management services, the "Internet of Things (IoT)", and other programs, projects, and groups that focus on this arena. The resulting technologies will also be highly useful to law enforcement, homeland defense, security services, the Intelligence Community, and other groups that need to understand, visualize, and comprehend this multi-dimensional mission space.
