Cognitive Option Learning and Discrimination Knowledge-based Naval Integrated Fires Evaluation (COLD KNIFE)

The range of options available to Counter-Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and Targeting (C-ISRT) planners to minimize the possibility of detection and targeting is growing rapidly to include the full range of Integrated Fires (IF) and Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare (EMW) effects. As the range of possible effects grows, the challenge of measuring their effectiveness also grows. To address this need, the Information Warfare Commander (IWC) needs new analytics that provide dynamic assessment of a broad spectrum of Blue C-ISRT effects. COLD KNIFE will develop algorithms and methods to measure the effectiveness of C-ISRT and Electronic Warfare effects in near-real-time. This will enable the IWC to assess TACSIT and MILDEC employment, producing critical data for consumption by IWC specific Battle Management Aids. COLD KNIFE can also facilitate the planning process by making informed predictions and supporting risk analysis of plans. COLD KNIFE analytics will be developed to integrate with emerging Navy cloud architectures, such as ONRs Data Focused-Naval Tactical Cloud and PEOC4Is NITROS, and provide technical components to PMW-120 Programs of Record including DCGS-N.
