Collaborative Information Infrastructure for Planning, Operations and Evaluation (CIIPOE)

This proposal is for Phase II development, implementation and evaluation of an integrated Collaborative Information Infrastructure for Planning, Operations and Evaluation (CIIPOE). The CIIPOE will include capabilities for critical information integration, COA development and evaluation, operations planning, after action review, and focused training. The proposed project integrates cutting edge technology from several areas and builds on our success in the Phase I effort. Most important, it contains viable paths for rapid transition and commercialization based on collaboration with the Center for Asymmetric Warfare, the Calamityville project, the Multi Agency Collaborative Environment, and our team"s established presence in the field. The goal of this SBIR project is to develop a new comprehensive system for planning, operations and evaluation. The CIIPOE will include new capabilities for critical information integration, COA development and evaluation, operations planning, after action review (AAR), and training. Specifically, our technical approach is based on enhancing and integrating two innovative technologies: Perceptronics Solutions"Decision Infrastructure for Collaborative Operational Planning (DICOP) and VirtualAgility"s WorkCenter product that provides an information environment supporting inter-operation among the numerous groups and organizations participating in emergency operations.
