The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) trains, equips and deploys Special Operations Forces (SOF) to worldwide locations to advance the nation's interests. The reality of worldwide operations requires a worldwide intelligence gathering and analysis capability, a processing capability and a way to disseminate actionable intelligence to operational units. Our solution will directly support the design, analysis, and management of this immense and complex solution space that exists concerning militarily useful operations in response to emergent threats within their Area of Responsibility (AoR). Achievement of this capability will be enabled by the merging of garrison data sources with mobile intelligence sources through the utilization of sensor fusion and rendering algorithms. Team Cintel will develop a state-of-the-art capability focused on providing SOF with an interactive data fusion capability that will deliver a comprehensive spatial data product. Cintel is well suited for such a task as the core capabilities represented by the team spans fundamental novel research on DoD systems and Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) to software and algorithm development. Additionally, this work spans DoD, DoE and commercial spheres representing a vehicle that can transition a technology from military specific to commercial applications.
