Edge Enabled Systems for ISR Applications, Phase II.

摘要

Management Sciences' EdgeWare is motivated by the needs of warfighters to understand the negotiate the complex environments in which they are deployed. EdgeWare are deployed. EdgeWare is an Edge Enabled System (EES) framework that leverages and enhances the situation awareness (SA) of dismounted war-fighters. Using EdgeWare, war-fighters will develop, extend and combine ISR applications for their current mission. Situation understanding and response time improves through sensing and reasoning applications that evolve out of the common needs of individual soldiers. In addition to improving access to information for the dismounted soldier, our approach to EES increases the relevance of incoming information by allowing soldiers to customize how the information is acquired, processed, and interpreted. Finally, commanders will order customized information reports from dismounted war-fighters as situations develop. In this way, war-fighters act as human sensors and interpreters of the environment in which they are deployed. A full-featured EdgeWare system will enable war-fighters to create information harnessing and reasoning apps, called mission specific apps, during mission planning. These can then be configured for specific and novel situations by the dismounted war-fighter using a mobile device while deployed.
