Automated/Simplified Weapons OMI

Consistent with the NAVSEA identified need for reducing the timeline from target acquisition to time of fire, Progeny Systems Corporation is pleased to propose the development of streamlined displays, a knowledge based computing tool kit and remote displayaccess for achieving this goal. By approaching this need with a three pronged approach, we feel that we can best meet the needs of NAVSEA and the fleet in enhancing weapon employment.Among the expected favorable characteristics are: (1)De-clutter/Streamline current Combat Control Displays to enhance "user friendliness" and speed weapon employment; (2) Shorten the number of manual steps required by an operator; (3) Integrate disparate data sources into a machine recommended set of tacticsthat can be approved/modified by an operator; (4) Update current displays into a more modern/adaptable display software language; and (5) Provide remote/wireless access to decision makers both within the attack center as well as at other locations. Theresults of this SBIR effort are expected to be widely applicable to both commercial facilities that can use or are currently using expert system technology as well as all current U.S. and foreign maritime assets.
