A Knowledge-Based Indications and Warning Toolkit for Mixed-Initiative Information Warfare Analysis
Abstract
Shipboard intelligence centers deployed in littoral regions are the "front line" for naval intelligence gathering. Onboard cryptanalysts need to monitor multiple information sources for trends and deviations from expected norms, detect and properly interpret the unusual, and generate Indications and Warning (I&W). Anticipated reductions in shipboard manning and increases in the quantity of available sensor data will further exacerbate workload for intelligence personnel. New information fusion technology is required to help intelligence analysts meet these challenges. During Phase I, we constructed an ontology of the I&W generation domain, developed pattern scripting tools to capture patterns of potential interest, and designed a data-driven inference engine to identify enemy activities from large volumes of sensor data.
