Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

ACC and AFRL directed the technical objectives for KSS in their Letter of Endorsement, “As part of this SBIR process, KSS / AF DCGS will focus on requirements #1.1 (Object Re-tracking) and #1.2 (Object Re-association) for FMV and/or WAMI use cases. We believe that technology development under the above SBIR Phase I topic may eventually contribute to solving our mission need.” Therefore the technical objectives in the SBIR are to customize and optimize AVIA software to satisfy FRD 1.1 for Object Re-tracking and FRD 1.2 for Object Re-association. AVIA has already been designed and built, with algorithms and software complete and at high TRL level (TRL 7 or 8), to satisfy or partially satisfy these requirements, but AVIA must be customized and optimized to deliver these capabilities for DCGS FMV and/or WAMI datasets, and perform these tasks on DCGS computer systems in operational workflows. In Phase I KSS will work to comprehend the FRD, DCGS datasets and products; plan and begin the design for implementation, which begins under funding in SBIR Phase II.
