Sense-making Toolkit for Automated Intelligence Report Generation (STAR)

NASIC is currently facing several challenges including (i) intelligence extraction/compilation, (ii) automated data processing and fusion, (iii) data management, and (iv) predictive analytics. Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to exploit two significant opportunities to address these challenges: (i) leverage and adapt our pre-existing commercial grade Distributed Information Gathering, Exploration and Sense-making Toolkit (DIGEST) capabilities and in order to address focused NASIC Intelligence Analysts’ needs; and (ii) leverage and adapt our innovative provenance capture and mining capabilities in order to improve methods to support core intelligence analysis activities such as source selection, hypothesis generation, sense-making, report generation, knowledge transfer, analyst training, intelligence validation, quality assurance, etc. The proposed Phase I project will configure, re-purpose and harden a ‘Sense-making Toolkit for Automated Intelligence Report Generation (STAR)’ to extend the current state of the art in automated intelligence report generation for NASIC intelligence analysts. The Phase II project will harden and validate the proposed capability with realistic data and use case leading to accelerated technology transition and large scale commercialization. KBSI’s depth and breadth of experience and knowledge on this topic will significantly increase the chances of designing and developing a solution meeting focused NASIC and Air Force needs.
