NEW CONCEPT IN C4I OPERATIONS CENTER SYSTEMS

"This SBIR project will develop DMIMS, an innovative concept for C4I operations centers featuring our innovative technology for information capture, presentation and instant replay in real-time, near-real-time or from archives. It answers the need for aversatile high performance information processing capability in response to the ever-increasing supply of C4I information that must be processed. Phase I will prove the value to the Air Force and feasibility of our concept. We will extend our patentedDigital Surveillance Network System to mixed image/video/text data-handling for C4I operations. The system features COTS components and will support legacy C4I software. First, we establish needs and requirements based on realistic data mixes and volumes.Then, via a proven design process and accompanying trade studies, we will produce the architecture and design, including software design, for DMIMS as the central element of a C4I Operations Center. And by analysis we validate the design not only meetsthe stated requirements but also fully supports the Air Force C4I missions. We offer the expertise in both C4I, computer and data handling system development to assure that the system meets Air Force needs. DMIMS promises a major step toward Air Force'global awareness. This innovation will greatly improve the ability of C4I operations centers to handle very large volumes of mixed media information (recon video, gun cameras, maps, satell
