Carpe Occasio Technology SystemsSeize the Moment! Next-Gen SOA Bottom Line Up Front Next-Gen SOA “Hybrid Engine” provides end-to-end solution –Complementary Technology for Real-Time and Non- Real-Time (e.g. Web environment) Extremely high performance –Ideal for situations requiring minimal latency and synchronization of activity/function Developed automatic code generation for operational environments –Allows systems to be brought online in days Quickly integrate systems of different types –Both legacy and new systems 2

Carpe Occasio Technology SystemsSeize the Moment! Unmanned and Robotics System Interoperability Intra-system – component level interoperability issues (to enable interchangeable parts within an unmanned system) Inter-system – interoperability between different unmanned or robotic systems, which are required for such systems to cooperate and perform complex missions in the battlespace, or disaster space Interaction with manned systems – unmanned and robotics systems must interoperate with a wide variety of manned platforms, weapons systems, and C4ISR systems Interaction with personnel “on scene” – whether first responders in a civil emergency, troops operating/working in theater or combat, etc., and in a wide variety of situations such as logistical support, casualty evacuation, manned/unmanned combined arms operations, etc.

Carpe Occasio Technology SystemsSeize the Moment! Sample Problems Robotics Systems for First Responders – developing a robotic platform that can complete different missions, and have different interchangeable functional components – such as an arm for explosive ordinance disposal, or an arm that can open door handles and locks Protection and Physical Security – UV Sentry – fleet force protection using unmanned systems (or an unmanned road-side check-point that can visually and chemically examine a vehicle, identify faces, etc.) Battlefield Extraction of the Wounded – for example the Nightingale II concept, which uses unmanned and robotics systems to perform this task
