Managing Digital Communications via Virtual Staff

Oceanit proposes to demonstrate a capability that will reason over multiple sources of communications available in a tactical environment and provide a commander both organizational and operational recommendations to meet mission objectives. We will develop an architectural approach that will enable the creation of a virtual staff element that can be employed at tactical echelons of Company and below to provide a commander both organizational and operational recommendations to meet mission objectives. The architectural approach will consider mechanisms to address trust surrounding recommendations that the capability provides. We will provide a final technical report documenting our architectural approach to providing an analysis of the approaches' ability to provide the desired virtual staff functionality.
