Sponsor NPS Naval Research Program (Navy)
Summary The NPS team will develop an information architecture that selects relevant information from the C2, C4, ITV databases and other sources to create an integrated Information System model that captures the information needed for the effective tactical distribution of supplies for ground and air supporting MAGTF. As appropriate the researchers will provide an ETL (Extract Transformation Loading) framework strategy for non-relational data sources and for databases that are not normalized or have integrity issues. The research will develop a "proof of concept" prototype that provides example analytics for the end user. The sponsor will provide data, architecture, and documentation for the C2, C4, and ITV systems. We will also provide initial data mining and business intelligence such as real-time reporting and visualizing the movement of the goods from the points of deployment to the points of needs, and the movement patterns from historical data. These results will be used in the optimization to deliver the best course of action for future forecasting and planning.
