Mission Intelligence Sensor Management and Data Fusion Automation & Collaboration Tool (MISMADFACT) for Dense Target Environments

The Track Simulator (TrackSim) software developed for the Phase I effort will be integrated "In the Loop" with the highly successful AquaQuIPS (AQ) data fusion engine (DFE) in Phase II. The product to be developed is TrackSim fully integrated with AQ's DFE and all of it's current national and tactical sensor inputs to detect and track ships in dense shipping environments. This processor will be proposed for full integration with two large Navy Programs of Record (PoRs): NAVSEA's Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) and PMW-120's/SPAWAR's Distributed Common Ground Station-Navy (DCGS-N). The integration with USW-DSS has a very high probability of success because AQ has been fully integrated into USW-DSS for over five years, and they highly desire a tool like TrackSim. In early April 11 AQ was selected by DCGS-N for its final stage of Analysis of Alternatives for Increment II. AQ and TrackSim have been briefed to PMW-120's Technical Director, and the DCGS-N Increment II Program Manager. AQ and TrackSim will be installed at a classified SPAWAR facility, and its output will be input to the Naval Simulation System for evaluation. The first experimental test for AQ with TrackSim in the loop will be Trident Warrior 12.
