AquaQuIPS Multi-INT Data Fusion in a Cloud

Jove Sciences Phase II Base Task is designed to achieve tracking ships worldwide using the AquaQuIPS (AQ) data fusion processor in three steps that maximize efficiency and reduce risk. This work will be performed at SPAWAR System Center Pacific using high speed computers under the direction of. John Evans Code 56160. Step 1 is to migrate the AQ source code from its current single node system to the newer, faster multi node computers, including the 24 core CRAY computer called Maxwell. Step 2 is to develop AQ code using the default Open Source distributed processing software (Apache II Hadoop, Map Reduce, and Accumulo) installed on Maxwell and the 32 core SDREN computer and distribute the known processing bottleneck, called the Position Report compare function, and determine how many cores are required to track ships worldwide in real time. Step 3 is to use the MapR software suite includes an optimized Hadoop file system, MapReduce, Spark/Shark, and Storm/YARN, and is focused on real time systems that stream large amounts of data. The Option Task 1 and 2 transition the multi node AQ real time code to several Programs of Record, starting with the Distributed Common Ground Station Navy
