Sensis Corporation offers an innovative approach for the design of a gateway interface for C4ISR platforms and their assets that provides interoperable services to and from a Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI). Our design approach for a JBI C4ISR client gateway interface is consistent with the current Air Force Research Laboratory design of JBI core services, Common Application Programming Interface (API), Information Object (IO) model, and the JBI Force Template concept. Included in our approach is a comprehensive set of innovative risk-mitigating feasibility and capability analysis studies that address the key issues required to successfully transition the Phase I preliminary design to a detailed design and prototype in Phase II.
Benefits: Sensis Corporation sees a large market for a JBI C4ISR Gateway Interface. This market encompasses the global need for interoperable information management systems (like the JBI) to provide the right information to the right people at the right time, in both military and civil applications. The JBI client gateway technology not only applies to current and future military C4ISR platforms (identified in PEO/DAC portfolios) that gather and disseminate information, but to commercial airlines for event recording, like black box information, real-time cockpit voice recording, and continuous updates on critical system status.
