Navy contract to support sensor network

MCLEAN, Va., July 31 (UPI) -- The U.S. Office of Naval Research has contracted SPADAC to support the Large Tactical Sensor Networks II program through development of an analytic technology.

Under a phase I contract potentially worth up to $1.2 million, SPADAC will develop a cultural factors relevance technology for the Large Tactical Sensor Networks II program, which officials say will provide analysis support.

SPADAC says it plans to incorporate its Signature Analyst technology in the development of the new intelligence system to address program requirements to analyze the combination of cultural intelligence data with geospatial factors, among other support functions.

"SPADAC is extremely pleased to have been selected by the Office of Naval Research to support their critical intelligence systems needs," Mark Dumas, SPADAC chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"By fusing data from multiple sources and leveraging existing technologies, such as SPADAC's predictive analytics technology, Signature Analyst, we look forward to developing a highly integrated intelligence system that is both efficient and delivers the highest-quality results possible to support the Office of Naval Research's mission."
