A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This Program Element funds application and validation of advanced computer software and hardware technologies to intelligence fusion analysis functions and prototype development, integration and evaluation of improved tactical intelligence fusion capabilities. This project supports the urgent requirement for an automated tactical intelligence processing system through technology insertion into, and development and evaluation of, prototype upgrades to the All Source Analysis System (ASAS), both during development and after fielding and is appropriately funded in Budget Activity 4.

Acquisition Strategy: This project consists of studies, prototype development and evaluation of the integration of tactical intelligence fusion capabilities into existing systems. The efforts are for joint advanced technology research via contractors, Joint Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), with some funds flowing down to colleges and universities as grants under oversight of JPL.

FY 1995 Accomplishments:

	600	Expanded and improved the capabilities and performance of the techbase prototype tools in support of template analysis/situation assessment, collection management , advanced image processing, advanced correlation and Counter-Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) analysis to include streamlined integration of asset scheduling and mobility analysis tools, design of algorithms for realistic situation warping of doctrinal templates, incorporation of terrain and mobility analysis techniques and expert tactical knowledge in automated correlation and automated extraction and structuring of data from freetext CI/HUMINT source reports into intelligence information, linking people, facilities, events, etc.
	359	Initiated the integration of techbase collection management and CI/HUMINT analysis support prototypes into the ASAS Block II systems development architecture: designed an advanced client/server architecture for interfacing situation assessment prototype tools with ASAS Block II for evaluation in an ASAS functional and operational environment.
	700	Supported the development, integration and evaluation of advanced prototype workstations configured in accordance with Common Operating Environment (COE) standards and employing client-server technology to facilitate rapid and streamlined exchange of information between ASAS and other command and control systems.
Total	1659

FY 1996 Planned Program:

3000

Funds battlefield visualization technology demonstration. Develop and evaluate Army Warfighter Experiments and the joint precision strike demonstration program of advanced large screen, automated graphical displays which would provide enhanced situational awareness for tactical commanders.

FY 1996 Planned Program: (continued)

	1000	Continue to investigate, develop and apply advanced technologies to intelligence fusion prototypes for expanded capabilities and performance in the areas of dynamic situation development/assessment/prediction, collection management, and advanced analysis and correlation, to include: continued streamlined integration of collection management tools for more automated, responsive tactical support: extension of the CI/HUMINT analysis prototype to include automated analysis tools, incorporating the advanced template correlation techniques used in the situation assessment prototype where appropriate; development and integration of state-of-the-art video photogrammetry tools in support of battle damage and low intensity situation assessment.
	780	Continue to evaluate, configure and integrate the high-performance, expanded techbase prototype capabilities into operational ASAS prototypes.
	850	Continue to support the development, evaluation and refinement of operational prototypes of functional and performance upgrades/improvements to ASAS and their integration into mainline ASAS development and acquisition per the Joint Prototyping Plan.
	129	SBIR/STTR
	17	Revised Economic Assumptions - Not available for execution
Total	5776

FY 1997 Planned Program:

	650	Continue to investigate, develop and apply advanced software and hardware processing, storage, display and Input/Output (I/O) technologies to techbase prototypes of high-performance, expanded intelligence fusion capabilities.
	825	Continue to evaluate, configure and integrate techbase prototype capabilities into operational ASAS prototypes.
	550	Continue to support the development, evaluation and refinement of ASAS operational prototypes and their integration into mainline ASAS development and acquisition per the Joint Prototyping Plan.
