PROJECT "VIEWBOW"

BENDING PERSPECTIVE

AN IDEAL ARRAY OF FEATURE CONTROLERS

FEATURE IDENTIFICATION

THE ABILITY TO ACQUIRE AND INTERACTIVALLY INTEGRATE A SET OF USEFUL FEATURES FROM A HETROGENOUS SET OF INFORMATION SOURCES

PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO INTERACTIVALY ENHANCE PERCEPTION OF RELIVANT FEATURES WILLFULY IE*EASILY*

A DOMAIN EXPERT DECIDES WHICH FETURES TO ENHANCE PERCEPTION OF

DECISION MAKING CAN BE DONE IN AN COLLABORATIVE WAY

A MISSION SPECIFIC INTERACTION WITH TASK CRITICAL INFO

INTENT IS TO CREATE A COMMUNICATION MATRIX WHICH ALLOWS NOT ONLY THE ENHANCED "HUMAN PARSING" OF FIELD INFO

BUT ALSO

A CAPICITY TO EXPRESSIVELY COMMUNICATE THAT INFO INTELLIGENTLY AND IN A STRUCTURED MANNER...

ASSUMPTION

SHIT HAPPENS----

INFORMATION COMES IN FROM ::

GPS

GIS

CAD/CAM

FIELD SENSORS

PERSONAL STATUS MONITER

SEC. CAMS

VIDEO AUDIO

COMPUTER SIMULATION

YOU CAN GET THE NEEDED DATA

THE DATA MAY BE FROM ANY SOURCE...

WE NEED THE ABILITY TO ADAPTIVILY CREATE THE CORRECT MATRIX OF INTERACTION CAPIBILITIES WITH SPECIFIC INFORMATION FEATURES WHICH ARE DETERMINED TO BE RELIVANT TO CRITICAL PATH PLANNING

THEME MEMES

REAL-TIME INTEL SUPPORT FOR RECON & SURVEILLANCE

this means that we want to be able to grasp" any information available and interactivily combine it with another info sources to beter

gain an understanding of what is the most "intelligent" progression trajectory through option space

we propose to build an optimal interaction capability for combining/groking/refining combinations of sets of avilable information

the viewbow will be able to "bend" perceptual space

heurstics of spatialization will be employed to contextualize position of the information

SYSTEM DESIGNED TO SUPPORT HUMAN IN THE LOOP DECISION

METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE

SYNTHETIC INTELLIGENCE ENGINE

MISSION CRITICAL DATA FUSION TOOL

ANY DATA FROM ANY SENSOR/SOURCECAN BE INTELLIGENTLY FUSED TO YIELD OPTIMAL "PERSPECTIVE" OF THE SITUATION.

ENVIRONMENT WITH A UNIVERSAL INTERFACE TOOLS

COMM FOR ITERATIVE INTELLIGENCE .ACTIVE SYSTHESIS...

INTERFACE SYSTEM OPTIMIZED FOR DIRECTED CONTROL OF HETROGENOUS INFO-RESOURCES

REQUIREMENTS:

HI-RESOLUTION GENERIC FACILITY IMAGE FROM A PHANTOM AIRBORNE PLATFORM

SYMBOLS BE OVERLAID ON THE OTHER TO SHOW REAL-TIME INTERACTION.

WE MAY WANT TO ....

DISPLAY

COLUMN OF "BUTTON" ICONS

:

VIEWBOX.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (MFD)

ACTION BUTTONS

SUCH AS:

PROJECT PERSONNEL

MOVEMENT

(SHOW TRACKS AS SYMBOL);

SHOW FACILITY SECURITY SENSOR STATUS

(SHOW MOTION SENSOR/CAMERA ICON);

SHOW TRAFFIC TO/FROM FACILITY OVER PAST 24-HRS

(SHOW TRUCK ICON).

.SHOW REDUNDANCY WITHIN COMM SYSTEM TO/FROM FACILITY

(ICON IS TELEPHONE POLES/LINES);

THIS MAY ALL BE CONCEPTUAL AT THIS POINT

(IE NOT FULLY INTERACTIVE).

THE VIEWBOX WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING CONCEPTS:

· SHOW ALL-ASPECT VIEW OF FACILITY;

WOULD BE NICE TO USE A PHARMACEUTICAL PLANT ·

SHOW ZOOM CAPABILITY TO AREA-OF-ATTENTION,

IE ENTRANCE/EXIT TO FACILITY ·

DEMONSTRATE USE OF CUE

(IE, BOX SURROUNDING FEATURE-OF-INTEREST SUCH AS A VENTILATION PORT TO FACILITY) ·

SHOW SURROUNDING TERRAIN FEATURES,

IE, INGRESS/EGRESS ROADS,

SURROUNDING WATER LEADING TO WATER TREATMENT FACILITY ·

SHOW MAN-MADE FEATURES,

IE, POWER LINES,

TELECOMM. LINES,

TRANSFORMERS ·

SHOW ROAD TRAFFICKING,

IE TRUCKS/CARS ·

SHOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT FACILITY,

IE FIRE TRUCKS,

HAZMAT TRUCKS ·

SHOW POSITION OF PERSONNEL ASSETS,

Dave: I've reviewed site; think we're on track; need to add a mass casualty domain--aggregates of casualties with consistent and inconsistent symptomatology; sooo appears as separate populations of data (indicating BW) occurring in time, space, and position---this will tie into the reachback ID specialists/med intel; will need to craft some imagery of manifested patient signs (i.e., respiratory/derm/GI) to provide entry into medical DBs and treatment algorithms; also a tie in from casualties to reverse engineering of munition employed with probabilistic data of weapon configuration/pathogenicity...will muse more on this (perhaps a musebox function).

mass casualty domain--

where they are

what they "look like"

what is there time trajectory of occurence

aggregates of casualties

clustered by features of intrest

database tec allows multiple cluster

need fuzzyset membership rules

with consistent and inconsistent symptomatology;

complete set of characteristics

fully intact vs partially intact

quasi------ fragmented data

appears as separate populations of data (indicating BW)

hetrogenous display

occurring in time,

first detection

suspected start

time based trajectory

space,

where is does this exist

over what region of geography does this exist

really and imagined

position---

where is it now

what is its distribution

what is it most likely to do next

tie into the reachback

comm link to domain experts

ID specialists

access to database of alternative sources

certifed content repositories

/med intel

medical comand

medical control

medical monitor

imagery of manifested patient signs (i.e., respiratory/derm/GI)

real images of "victim" looking signs

what to look for in this case

also simulations

graphemes of symptoms

symbolization of symptom clusters

entry of field gathered or simulated info into medical DBs

feature match with knowns

access most likly diag

.

treatment algorithms;

"automedically" generated treatment/triage/transport best guess action plan

tie in from casualties

synthetic intelligence employed to "combine" dis-structered data into info pool

reverse engineering of munition employed

using synthesized intelligence

probabilistic data of weapon configuration/pathogenicity...

what was it made of

how was it made

what is the design

what is the mechanism

how bad is it

will muse more on this (perhaps a musebox function).
