Title
Rook Platform(tm) for B-52 AgilePod
Abstract
Building upon Department of the Air Force (DAF) and Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) mission needs in the area of command, control, communications, and battle management systems (C3BM) - particularly in support of long-range strike - Praeses proposes this TACFI. The work proposed in this TACFI effort will build on a tool called Future Oriented Rook Geospatial Engine (FORGE), which is designed to fuse data from multiple sources and provide edge processing of sensor data within the B-52's AgilePod. FORGE will ultimately present this fused data to aircrew through a Graphical User Interface installed inside the aircraft. In this manner, Praeses intends to leverage data management approaches to address the needs of AFGSC's prioritization of rapid and open modernization, implementation updates,and integration of new technologies across weapon systems architectures in a timely manner to ensure the command's ability to provide long-range strike capabilities to the Joint Force.
Research Objective
The goal of phase II is to continue the R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II.
