Research abstract

Rugged, large-format (120”-150” diagonal) display solutions that are light-weight, transportable, and rapidly-deployable for military needs are not available. The Decision Pod is a large portable, seamless, interactive, immersive display (~150 inch diagonal) with cinematic quality (4K resolution) and high brightness (~20K lumens) that uses COTS hardware and patented, proprietary, commercially-proven PANDAS software. The Decision Pod is portable (fits in 5-6 transit cases) and rapidly-deployable to create a large display in indoor settings. Multiple such light-weight modules could be integrated in lego- style fashion to create an even larger display (flat or curved). SBIR Phase II technical goal is to mature the Decision Pod (software and hardware solution) to a TRL 6/7 & SRL 6/7. The end deliverable will be a demonstration of the final prototype at an USAF end-user site (AFSOC, Hurlburt, FL). The display system will be self-calibrating, would not require additional manpower to maintain, will be transportable in transit cases within single person size & weight standards, and meet current deployable C2 node power limitations. The solution will enable current command and control (C2/MDC2, JADC2), situational awareness & other data wall requirements in a lower cost form factor that warfighters can set up/take down in <30 minutes.
