Core Development Integration and Demonstration of the DARPA Virtual Soldier

Abstract

Two demonstrations of the capabilities developed under Cooperative Agreement Contract W81XH-04-0012, "Core Development Integration and Demonstration of the DARPA Virtual Soldier" (The Virtual Soldier Project) were performed as final deliverables. The March 17th 2005 Demonstration targeted 5 areas: Statistical Reasoning, Multiscale Modeling, Casual Reasoning, P-Tag-CODEC-Homer Displays-Hotbox, and Autostereoscopic/ Holographic Display. The 14 June 2005 Demonstration targeted 3 areas: (1) An End-to-End Demonstration of Statistical Reasoning, (2) Multiscale Modeling and Anatomy from Anatomy Forecasts with Autopsy Results and a Report of Statistical Findings, and (3) a Casual Reasoning demonstration using the Virtual Soldier Knowledge Base, simulated physiology data, and ballistic modeling. The 7 Tasks of the project: (1) Global Architecture, (2) Organ-tissue systems, (3) Property-levels model, (4) Automatic segmentation of organ-tissue systems, (5) Holomer display and interface, (6) Holomer storage, retrieval and interface, and (7) Demonstration; have been met in fulfillment of the main contract demonstration goal of statistical prediction of outcomes to an accuracy greater than 0.80. Subcontractors developed the software and model systems to achieve the required degree of faithfulness to physiology, anatomy, physical properties, and anatomy information hierarchy to statistically predict wounding outcomes from minimal post-wound experimental data, and to separately describe post-wound effects from initial wound states.
