Intelligent PMESII Information Management Workbench

The objective for this SBIR is to develop a PMESII-PT workbench i.e., a tool that will enable Civil Affairs staff to gather, organize, and maintain knowledge relevant to stability operations. Two factors limit the militarys ability to manage stability operations. First, there simply are not enough trained personnel for the mission. As a result, soldiers not trained in stability operations often take up the CA role. Secondly, too few people understand the importance of 2nd and 3rd order effects on a population in asymmetric warfare. This Phase II program will focus on developing a workbench that uses an OODA loop framework for capturing and organizing knowledge.
