Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) Multi-Objective Threat Prioritization (TMTP)

In this SBIR project, Daniel H. Wagner Associates (DHWA) will develop a TUSW Multi-Objective Threat Prioritization (TMTP) Decision Aid that will automatically produce threat prioritizations that account for the ability of threat submarines to adversely affect probability of friendly mission success, for example by detecting and/or (in wartime) attacking friendly assets.  TMTP will meet the previously delineated challenges and offer significant operational benefits to the TUSW Commanders and Watch Standers.  TMTP will incorporate high-fidelity risk models in order to rank threat contacts across multiple objectives.  DHWA will develop the risk analytics framework that is necessary in order to combine commander’s intent and current threat contacts to produce a probabilistic risk assessment.  The risk assessment will be displayed to the TUSW Watch Officers/COPS team at a summary level with all relevant quantified details available in a drill-down type menu on the SA display.  The risk analytics will run in the background and update the TMTP SA picture as threat contacts enter/exit the tactical area and/or the friendly mission objectives change.
