  2. Introduction • What is Mission Minder? • Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance (ISR) business logic, data bases, network interfaces tightly integrated with STK AVO, analytic models, and numerous report generators • Hands-off scenario generation via simple, mission-oriented GUI • Transforms collection requirements into optimized execution plan in minutes • Provides live situation display and post mission analysis support • Background and sponsorship • DoD’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program • Phase I: AFRL/Big Safari Program Office • Phase III: Two Department of Defense Sponsors • Modernize planning and analysis for peripheral TechSIGINT collection mission • Tactical SIGINT mission support • Real-time situation awareness, collection monitoring, collector management • Real-time ground coverage contour generation • Corporate IRAD

  3. Summary of Mission Minder Features • Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI (maps, imagery, terrain) • Scenario management (objects, maps, terrain, globes, etc.) • Requirements-driven target layout (sites, emitters, etc.) • Flight plan layout and optimization (multi-platform) • Mission timing and sensor tasking • Live Ops • TCP or Multi-Cast network feeds • GPS and custom navigation message formats • Multi-platform virtual display in 2D/3D windows • Real-time ground coverage contour generation • CPU-friendly tri-chromatic color projection technique • Post-Mission • Mission reconstruction, signal ID support • Computer-assisted signals analysis report generation (template based)

  4. Implementations • Configurations supported • OS: Solaris, Windows NT/XP • DB: Oracle, MS Access

  6. Mission Minder Roles: Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI (maps and imagery)

  7. Mission Minder Roles: Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI (maps and imagery) • Requirements-driven target layout

  8. Mission Minder Roles: Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI (maps and imagery) • Requirements-driven target layout • Flight plan layout and optimization

  9. Mission Minder Roles: Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI (maps and imagery) • Requirements-driven target layout • Flight plan layout and optimization • Multi-platform mission synthesis

  10. Mission Minder Roles: Pre-Mission • Automatic STK globe composition covering the AOI • Requirements-driven target layout • Flight plan layout and optimization • Multi-platform mission synthesis • Sensor tasking (single/multiple collectors)

  11. Mission Minder Roles: Live Ops • Configurable platform feeds

  12. Mission Minder Roles: Live Ops • Configurable platform feeds • “Push button” control panel for 3D situation display

  13. Mission Minder Roles: Live Ops • Configurable platform feeds • “Push button” control panel for 3D situation display • Collection activity display in 2D window

  14. Mission Minder Roles: Live Ops • Configurable platform feeds • “Push button” control panel for 3D situation display • Collection activity display in 2D window • Real-time situation display and ground coverage contour generation in 3D window

  15. Mission Minder Situation Display • Real-time ground coverage contours • Computationally light weight • Natural light sources suppressed • Three primary colors (RGB) allocated to asset classes • Colored light sources attached to objects in each asset class • Additive color mixing performed by STK 3D graphics rendering • Colored contour display suppressed by increasing ambient light intensity (slider on control panel) • Scene composition • DTED-1 or DTED-2 • gray scale imagery • no color distortion

  16. Mission Minder Roles: Post-Mission • Mission reconstruction

  17. Mission Minder Roles: Post-Mission • Mission reconstruction • Signal ID support

  18. Mission Minder Roles: Post-Mission • Mission reconstruction • Signal ID support • Computer-assisted signals analysis report generation

  19. Mission Minder - Summary • Leverage with STK • Benefits to user community • Plans • Migration to STK 4DX architecture • Integrate DFC’s Global Reference Information Management (GRIM) capabilities • Accuracy, sensitivity coefficients for geo-location predictions • AOA/TDOA/FDOA estimators • Investigating integration into emerging TechSIGINT Tool framework
