NINJAS: Network-Centric INnovative JMS Asset Management Services

ABSTRACT: The Design Knowledge Company (TDKC) and Intelligent Software Solutions (ISS) are pleased to present this Phase I SBIR proposal titled Network-Centric INnovative JMS Asset Management Services (NINJAS) in response to Air Force Topic AF103-071, Innovative Technologies For Space Asset Management. Our Phase I plan includes evaluating cost-effective open source data fusion and intelligent system technologies in order to derive an operationally-focused solution that is demonstrable and operationally practical. As part of this SBIR project, TDKC will apply our extensive team experience with (1) JMS UDOP development; (2) JMS services/plug-in development; (3) non-deterministic intelligent systems technologies to include case-based reasoning, data fusion, possibilistic, and Bayesian network; and (4) experience with Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) and Space Surveillance Network (SSN) to create autonomous tools that perform real-time monitoring of space assets to generate effective blue force status realization. TDKC realizes the importance and need for this solution, demonstrated by recent world events and the overwhelming reliance on national space assets. BENEFIT: The technologies from this research initiative can support a variety of programs and transition to the JMS system. This work would also support the Space and Missile System Center blue force status initiative.
