Smart Signal Parser (SSP) and Actionable Intelligence Extraction (AIE)

"The SSP AIE SBIR effort will examine non-deterministic, deterministic rules based and expert methods for automatically parsing and extracting high-value information and knowledge from recognized, demodulated signal events as they occur. This process isessentially independent of classic signal recognition and could be applied to any digitized message, although signal recognition performs a necessary pre-filtering function in today's cryptologic applications when considering high-density signalenvironment that is becoming increasingly more challenging due to increased problem complexity and manning and training issues. This effort will leverage lessons learned and will investigate a variety of viable techniques for parsing messages andautomatically extracting meaningful or "actionable" intelligence from these messages. Phase I will examine requirements, and will make recommendations for parsing signals and for extracting actionable intelligence, including N-grams and other techniques.Information/knowledge storage structures requirements will also be examined and initial standards will be recommended. Phase I will determine the best technical approach and recommend the appropriate techniques and algorithms to be demonstrated in PhaseII. Military Cryptologists and intelligence officers in Federal, State and local government service today encounter an increasingly complex, dynamic, and dense signal environment in which to perform signals
