TD# FOPEN-GXP Future  Automatic detection and discrimination over multiple time scales for robust identification of activity  Automatic exploitation for rapid actionable intelligence (near real-time; 4 min)  Powerful automated planning with closed- loop recommendations  Open architecture Automatic Exploitation in FOPEN Environment to Meet Detection, Discrimination, and Planning Goals FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY//EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 4 FOPEN GMTI Today  Activity of interest buried in complex detection picture; unknown “what” is moving  Slow, manual analysis (Hours to develop intelligence)  Planning based on “guesswork”  Closed architecture World Class Team B LACK R IVER S YSTEMS INFORMATION SYSTEMS LABORATORIES, INC.

TD# Proposed Schedule UNCLASSIFIED // FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 5 Updates will be made to account for changes in SW build deliveries and module developer’s schedules

TD# Leverage VADER’s robust exploitation framework to generate an extensible open- architecture system Automated exploitation to generate timely, actionable intelligence Reason over longer time periods to generate powerful exploitation products System Architecture UNCLASSIFIED / FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 6

TD# System Architecture Elements UNCLASSIFIED / FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 7 User Interface Control and display for FOPEN-GXP system Doppler Signature Discriminator Assigns preliminary classification to each detection based on Doppler signature features within single dwells Group State Estimator Associates related detections within and across dwells Estimates group kinematics Classification using kinematic and discriminator output from multiple dwells, including feature data Activity Detector Uses variety of data sources and models to make inferences about likely behavior over longer time spans

Integration and Evaluation FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 11

TD# Creation of interface working group Reduces risk of module I/O incompatibility Install framework on cluster hardware when delivered “Lite” framework might be available for module developers Test framework with dummy modules to validate communication, control and data flow Less risk when module integration commences Incremental deliveries from module developers Quick drops of available DSD or GSE code might allow for testing on C2 data RD chip downlink not implemented; run as offline processing Due to quantity of data, should run at forward location on portable terminals for quickest turn-around time Integration Plan UNCLASSIFIED / FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 12

TD# SRC is purchasing One complete computer cluster − Load and test VFOPEN-GXP framework on this machine − SRC performs framework and module integration − Install cluster at SRC and install new framework − Install the SRC FORESTER PPI display on front end workstations − SRC integration team + BAE develops message passing to create a "module free framework" ready to accommodate winning modules. − SRC develops the module A/B/C overlays for the PPI display - then provides a display ICD to module developers. Four computer servers for distribution − Provide one server to each of four module developers − SRC provides integration ICDs to module developers − Allows module developers to use “computer server environment” − Risk reduction since modules are built to run in the cluster computer environment FOPEN GXP Computer Hardware FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // EXPORT CONTROLLED DATA 17
