The gov't intends to procure on a sole source basis with Teknowledge Federal Systems, Inc. a service CDRL & DD254 available upon request. STATEMENT OF WORK: 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The Naval Command Control and Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC), Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Division (NRaD) is conducting research in distributed situation assessment. In distributed situation assessment, a team of spatially distributed information specialists performs the interpretation of tactical data. Existing systems do not support interpretation of tactical situations such as recognition of activities, tactics, organization, intent and vulnerabilities. Currently it is the responsibility of each decision maker to recognize these elements of the situation and formulate his own interpretation. What is needed is the ability to create a coherent, consistent situation interpretation by assembling partial assessments produced by different specialists. 2.0 SCOPE: This purchase order addresses conceptual issues associated with the development of elastic knowledge templates for distributed situation assessment. The technology issue to be addressed concerns knowledge structures able to accommodate specialist's situation recognition knowledge and an integrated common core representation across specialists which preserves the tailored representation of each specialist's knowledge. 3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall perform the following subtasks: 3.1 Design and develop a prototype Distributed Assessment Tool (DSAT) using elastic knowledge templates which accommodate specialist's situation recognition knowledge for selected domains along with a set of common core templates. 3.2 Develop a DSAT interface to the Situation Server being developed under DARPA funding. 3.3 Demonstrate the application of the DSAT/Situation Server for a specific scenario. 4.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY: None. 5.0 TRAVEL: Travel to NRaD is authorized in order to coordinate this effort. 6.0 OTHER: 6.1 Security clearance is required for assigned personnel. 6.2 Place of performance includes contractor's facility in Arlington, VA. 6.3 Technical review, inspection and acceptance of contractor services are provided by Ronald Larsen Ph.D., NRaD Code d441, Bldg 600, Room 422B, Phone (619)553-4142. 6.4 Period of performance ends 30 September 1997.
