TDKC is deserving of a Tibbetts SBIR award due to its continued pioneering research and development of decision support and situation awareness applications to support US space warfighters. In particular, TDKC’s development of the next-generation JMS UDOP capability should be recognized as a textbook example of how SBIR funding can be used to successfully transition conceptual prototypes into fully accredited products for the nation’s warfighter. The VISTA programs central concept includes delivering space superiority capability to the warfighter by leveraging data fusion, data mining, and mixed-initiative problem solving techniques, and advanced visualization to rapidly compress and encode large amounts of data that provide “at-a-glance” coherent operational picture for space operators. VISTA also includes the fusing of unconventional intelligence to enable rapid, mixed-initiative decision support based on actionable information. Significant technical accomplishments that have been made as part of the VISTA SBIR include: (1) Framework for composable Common Operating Picture. – this allows the operator to create what they need for a particular mission (2) Custom organization, grouping of visualization components – next-generation 3-D capability (3) Configurable connection to web service endpoints; this allows the UDOP access to new data sources without new code development. (4) Addition of role-based security to all visualization components – provides the necessary security (5) Natural language processing integration. – advanced technology to improve operations (6) Integrated case-based reasoning components. – assists the operator and reduces errors The warfighter value and significance of the VISTA SBIR development are further substantiated by a recent real-world activity that TDKC was asked to support using VISTA tools. The overwhelmingly successful results from this event (and subsequent accolades TDKC received from Air Force general officers and JSpOC personnel) underscore the advanced capabilities and how it can support a number of national priorities.
