Bottom Line Up FrontNext-Gen SOA

• Hybrid Engine provides end-to-end solution
• Complementary Technology for Real-Time and
  Non-Real-Time (e.g. Web environment)
• Extremely high performance
• Ideal for situations requiring minimal latency
  and synchronization of activity/function
• Developed automatic code generation for
  operational environments
• Allows systems to be brought online in days
• Quickly integrate systems of different types
• Both legacy and new systems

Unmanned and Robotics System Interoperability

• Intra-system component level interoperability
  issues (to enable interchangeable parts within an
  unmanned system)
• Inter-system interoperability between different
  unmanned or robotic systems, which are required
  for such systems to cooperate and perform complex
  missions in the battlespace, or disaster space
• Interaction with manned systems unmanned and
  robotics systems must interoperate with a wide
  variety of manned platforms, weapons systems, and
  C4ISR systems
• Interaction with personnel on scene whether
  first responders in a civil emergency, troops
  operating/working in theater or combat, etc., and
  in a wide variety of situations such as
  logistical support, casualty evacuation,
  manned/unmanned combined arms operations, etc.

Sample Problems

• Robotics Systems for First Responders
  developing a robotic platform that can complete
  different missions, and have different
  interchangeable functional components such as
  an arm for explosive ordinance disposal, or an
  arm that can open door handles and locks
• Protection and Physical Security UV Sentry
  fleet force protection using unmanned systems (or
  an unmanned road-side check-point that can
  visually and chemically examine a vehicle,
  identify faces, etc.)
• Battlefield Extraction of the Wounded for
  example the Nightingale II concept, which uses
  unmanned and robotics systems to perform this
  task
