Projects
Browse the breadth and depth of innovative, technology-centric solutions implemented by the Texas A&M Center for Applied Technology (TCAT) to address the needs of its diverse customer base.
Developed a 3D terrain visualization capability integrated by Lockheed Martin into the digital Army Battle Command System (ABCS) that provides accurate line of sight and real-time unit locations on an optimally adapting mesh terrain overlayed with military terrain imagery and unit symbology.
An integrative, data-driven framework to enhance situational awareness and decision support for day-to-day facility management, helping increase facility and equipment availability for production work through the strategic integration of data and technology.
Designed, developed, and delivered an automated precision control of optical, fluidic, photonic, and mechanical flow cytometry devices enabling increased production and single cell sorting performance while also reducing required operational resources.
A web-based information dashboard that provides analysts from the National Biosurveillance Integration Center the ability to track and monitor disease outbreaks across the world. This tool provides a common integrated view of the information for both situational awareness and decision-making, and is has been deployed for use in a 24/7 Department of Homeland Security command center.
A cross platform mobile application that can be used by veterinarians for easily capturing of syndromic symptoms of animals in the field. This application allows for form-based submission in both a live and store-and-forward fashion for use in even very rural locations. The results can be queried and displayed in both a geospatial and temporal fashion within an analyst workstation. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
A web-based tool that provides lawn irrigation assistance based on real-time rainfall and weather conditions obtained directly from weather stations, along with educational materials related to residential water conservation.
A web-based information dashboard that provides a user-defined common operating picture across multiple echelons and within different functional areas. This tool was used as part of an on-the-water exercise by the Coast Guard’s Sector Seattle Command Center in August of 2009. These dashboards provided integration of live data feeds describing the current operational environment, real-time video and sensors for providing monitoring and surveillance capabilities, and custom simulation and visual analytic products. The common integration of these diverse tools supported the full decision-making process.
An online software configuration management tool that provided an environment for running quality assurance checks on battlefield functional area system software. It was flexible enough to operate for both UNIX and Windows-based operating systems and had suitable protections to ensure the integrity of each quality assurance check. It has become a pivotal tool in the Army’s configuration management process.
Designed, executed, and analyzed scenarios within a Human Social Cultural Behavior (HSCB) simulation developed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to assess irregular warfare effects and operations to influence violent extremist organizations.
A technology platform that combines data from vital signs screening, daily health surveys, SARS-CoV-2 infection testing results, and vaccination status, designed to support reporting of an individual’s current COVID-19 status through an iterative monitoring protocol performed over a defined time period.
