MOBILE MISSILE TEL ANALYSIS

THE PROPOSED PHASE I STUDY WILL FIRST DETERMINE THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION FOR MOBILE MISSILE VEHICLE ANALYSIS. OBJECTIVES FOR PHASE I ARE 1) DEFINE AN INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR MAKING ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENTS FROM LIMITED DATA AND 2) PROTOTYPE A SUBSET OF THE METHODOLOGY TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF BUILDING A METHODOLOGY TOOL. THE GOAL WILL BE TO DESIGN A METHODOLOGY THAT CAN USE INCOMPLETE INFORMATION OR DATA WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CONFIDENCE YET REACH CONCLUSIONS. AN ABILITY TO EXPLAIN THE REASONING PROCESS THAT WAS USED TO REACH CONCLUSIONS WILL ALSO BE SUPPORTED BY METHODOLOGY TOOL. PHASE I EFFORT WILL INCLUDE A TRADE-OFF BETWEEN ALGORITHMIC AND HEURISTIC APPROACHES TO IMPLEMENTING THE METHODOLOGY IN SOFTWARE. THE SELECTED METHODOLOGY FROM PHASE I WILL BE PROPOSED FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN PHASE II AS A SOFTWARE-RESIDENT TOOL.
