A Family of Decision-Centric Software Applications for the Future ISR Network

Military planners and operational decision makers are currently levering the power of information technology to apply force multipliers for shock, action and response to the myriad of threats. However, they have yet to obtain and employ robust, verifiable decision aids and decision support systems that can work across the entire planning domain. The current set of Command and Control systems, although responsive to current operational requirements, do not have premier and forward decision-making tools for planning or the analysis to conduct the detailed and "real-time" planning. Radiance Technologies in cooperation with its team members, Diamond Data Systems, NVision, and the University of Southern Mississippi proposes to design a prototype decision making software toolset and "workbench" for the tactical military decision maker. Our prototype solution will heavily leverage our combined strengths in sensor data processing, information system development, decision support system development and geospatial systems information development.
