Software Infrastructure to Support DSAP (Dynamic Situational Awareness and Prediction) Capabilities

Abstract

Today's C4I systems will be required to support faster-than-real-time predictive simulation that can determine possible outcomes by re-calibrating with real-time sensor data or extracted knowledge in real-time. This capability is known as a Dynamic Situation Assessment and Predication (DSAP) capability. The work under this contract involved developing a software infrastructure to support the implementation of a DSAP capability for decision aids. Specifically, this effort focused on developing enhancements for existing and evolving software frameworks by supporting capabilities that allow objects to be dynamically created, deleted and reconfigured, that allow simulations to be calibrated with live data feeds to provide state estimation, and that allow simulations to reduce overheads while supporting these mechanisms in order to continue to run in real-time. This effort examined the software framework used in support of the Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF) program as a testbed for promoting this DSAP capability, implement these infrastructure improvements and integrate the technology with C4I systems.
