APPLIED INFORMATION SCIENCES FOR DECISION MAKING
Abstract
The goal of this activity is to develop enablers for decision making and mission execution, to achieve battlespace superiority. It focuses on the development of algorithms and software technologies that identify and integrate informational content from multiple sources, leading to decision aids that support user-cognitive processes. Because persistent sensors are generating massive amounts of data, the focus is on technologies that not only integrate information from diverse sources, but also provide indications of information significance in ways that support the user's decision needs, regardless of location and operational situation. To achieve this, it must be possible to automate understanding of the battlespace by identifying objects, determining relationships among the objects, assessing intent, and automatically generating courses of action with associated risks and uncertainty. Effort will also be devoted to developing technology for increasing assurance and security for C3 information systems and technology for improving information discovery and information presentation in such systems. The Nano Electronics Technology activity is focused on developing ultra-low power, higher performance computing devices and components that are based on novel functionalities of nanometer scale materials and are enabled by improved understanding of nanomaterials, new devices and circuit design concepts, as well as new architectures uniquely suited for nanoscale systems. Funding increase from FY16 to FY17 is a result of increased research in Cyber Defense. Funding decrease from FY17 to FY18 is a result of the completion of Cyber Investment Management Board Initiative (CIMBI) Gap Mitigation effort. The following are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity.
