Ground Target Tracking and Identification System (GTIS)

Fuses all available data using Bayesian inferential reasoning, multiple hypothesis association, and non-Gaussian tracking techniques.  Able to process data from large numbers of diverse Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Measurement

Environmental Data Fusion for Mine Countermeasures (EDFMCM)

Wagner, with SAIC as a subcontractor, developed several systems for Mine Countermeasures (MCM) to significantly improve the ability of Naval MCM forces to carry out their missions through the more effective use of available environmental data to accurately estimate the bottom, acoustic propagation,

Anti-Torpedo Data Fusion and Optimization Systems (ATDOS) to PMS-415 Torpedo Warning System (TWS)

In this project for ONR, Wagner developed a prototype Anti-Torpedo Data Fusion and Optimization System (ATDOS) for fusing all available data concerning anti-torpedo defense using Bayesian inferential reasoning, multiple hypothesis association, Gaussian sum and non-Gaussian tracking, and non-Gaussian

Cooperative Organic Mine Defense (COMID)

Implements sophisticated data registration, association, and fusion algorithms.  Tested using simulated data, real-world AQS-20X data, real-world SQS-53 Mid-Frequency Active/Small Object Avoidance (MFA/SOA) data, and real-world Precision Underwater Mapping (PUMA) data.  Analysis showed robust and

Mission Optimization Web Service for Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS)

Transitioned to USW-DSS Build 2; originally installed at CTF-34 in Pearl Harbor as part of Theater Undersea Warfare Initiative (TUSWI).  Uses detailed non-homogeneous environmental data generated by the Navy standard STAPLE system, non-Gaussian tracking algorithms, and non-Gaussian resource optimization

Multi-Vehicle Mission Planner (MVMP)

MVMP optimally allocates Unmanned Vehicle (UV) assets in a typical Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) mission scenario.  The demonstration MVMP optimally allocates Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) such as the Remote Environmental Monitoring Unit System (REMUS) or the Battlespace Preparation Autonomous Underwater

Operational Route Planner (ORP)

The Operational Route Planner (ORP) is a state-of-the-art anti-submarine warfare (ASW) search-planning tool used to produce rigorous, near-optimal search paths for multiple searchers employing passive and monostatic active sensors, and aircraft equipped with magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) systems. 

Tactical Environmental Effects for Precision Guided Missiles (METPLAN)

During a Phase II Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) project for the Navy, we developed a prototype agent-based system called METPLAN. The system is designed to increase the effectiveness of PGMs by automatically integrating environmental data and weapon-specific and mission-specific environmental

Commander’s Estimate of the Situation/Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Tactical Decision Aid (CES/ISR TDA)

Wagner was awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as a subcontractor to develop a full-scale Mine Warfare (MIW) CES/ISR TDA for eventual transition into the Mine Warfare and Environmental Decision Aids Library

Acoustic Mission Planner (AMP) for the MH-60R

Under a multi-million dollar contract from Lockheed Martin Systems Integration-Owego, Wagner developed an Acoustic Mission Planner (AMP) for the Navy’s MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter.  The algorithms used in AMP were originally developed for the MH-60R Decision Support System Testbed
