Decision Support

A system for integrating and analyzing syndromic surveillance data captured from mobile apps and other relevant sources. The data is aggregated and combined with embedded visualization and analysis tools to help determine baseline conditions in order to detect any anomalies that may signal the onset of an animal disease outbreak. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.

Designed, developed, deployed, and supported a fleet of five digital ambulances for the Fletcher Allen Level 1 trauma center in Burlington, Vermont. Also fielded a standalone deployable wireless on-scene camera as well as portable “Grab & Go” cases to be used with ambulances outfitted with minimal pre-install equipment.

Executed political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, information, physical environment, and time-based (PMESII+2) scenarios to anticipate trends over 1-3 month turns within 1-3 year periods to provide comprehensive analysis of coercion tipping points, insurgent growth rate, relationally based information exchange from competing non-combatant groups, and irregular battle command/PSYOP.

System integrator for the federated Human Social Cultural Behavior (HSCB) training platform for soldiers to hone negotiating skills required to derive critical terror network information from the non-combatant population. The Hybrid Irregular Warfare/Improvised Explosive Device Network-defeat Toolkit (HI²NT) federation combined the First-Person Cultural Trainer (FPCT) interactive 3D environment with the computer-generated forces of One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF), the HSCB simulated operational environment of the Joint Non-kinetic Effects Model (JNEM), and the Process-oriented Data Visualization (ProDV) data analytics platform.

Developed an infrastructure and essential services (IES) module that tracks and manages critical services such as water, electrical and agriculture modeling for a specific areas of operation within simulation federations.

A producer-friendly crop model- and sensor-based irrigation decision support system designed to provide real-time irrigation schedules and projected economic outcomes based on water use and production goals. The system uses management information from the user in conjunction with externally sourced data, including projected short-term weather, and generates crop growth and economic model scenarios. Remote detection of plant water stress using a sensor platform mounted on a pivot irrigation system improves irrigation schedules. Demonstrated with cotton in the Texas Rolling Plains region.

A full-featured surveillance system that leverages a mobile-based data collection and web-based reporting system; this system has been fielded across Kenya and used to support syndromic-based disease surveillance among livestock and wildlife and antimicrobial use and resistance in animal production.

Designed, developed, and deployed a mobile Laboratory Animal Reporting Application (LARA) system for the restrictive Biosafety Level 3 biocontainment facilities within the Plum Island Animal Disease Center to increase efficiency of data management and improve data reliability and availability.

Developed a concept model to simulate Level 1 site exploitation of component debris following a detonation event by conventional or improvised explosives.

An integrated system that enables exploration of innovative healthcare delivery models, linking those in immediate need of emergency medical services with those qualified individuals that are nearby and capable of responding.
