- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to: (1) Add "Specific Focus Areas for 2011": Specific Focus Areas for 2011 Effects Assessment Methodology: Investigate quantitative analysis techniques that aid operational assessors' ability to link actions to effects to desired objectives. The specific goals of this effort are to 1) Explore and assess the mathematical techniques that can be applied to improve the performance of the weighted-additive model under conditions of missing data. Within the additive model the scores produced are directly influenced by the data consumed. Missing data will produce erroneous scores and provide misleading analyses and 2) Investigate techniques that demonstrate invariance under conditions of missing data and identify their utility in operational effects assessment. There may be instances where the derivation or estimation of missing data may not be feasible or appropriate. In addition, weighted-additive models have no ability to detect conditions where the data is erroneous. White papers for this topic will be due by: 23 Jun 2010. Awards will not exceed 36 months with dollar amounts ranging from $350,000-$400,000. N-Dimensional Effects-Based Assessment Tools: The objective is to provide operational-level assessors the capability to rapidly develop indicators that assess the Measures of Performance (MoPs) and Measures of Effectiveness (MoEs) of a given plan. The indicators must span the spectrum from strategy-to-task planning, the warfighting domains (air, cyber, and space), and support the near-continuous assessment of effects. Specific goals include: (1) The use of case based reasoning with search algorithms and guidance templates to provide an automated means to assist warfighters in selecting suitable indicators, and (2) The use directed graphs to represent the alignment of operational objectives and effects to assess the achievement of the end-states to provide an intuitive user interface for indicator selection/management and visualizing the assessment. The metrics for this program will include the accuracy and completeness of the set of indicators recommended, improvement in the speed of the process (Δt), and overall quality of the resulting operational assessment. White papers for this topic will be due by: 23 June 2010. Awards will not exceed 24 months with dollar amounts ranging from $500,000 - $1,000,000. COA Analysis Simulation (CASIM): The objective is to provide the ability to quickly develop simulations to analyze COAs and evaluate capabilities across multiple domains. The goals within this effort are to 1) Integrate disparate models and analysis tools within a federation and 2) Advance and employ an integrated composable modeling and simulation capability to create realistic cyber warfare operational scenarios for course of action (COA) exploration. These goals are to be accomplished while taking into consideration the number of COAs analyzed/day, the breadth of effects considered, model integration and setup time, number of models integrated and entities run. The models and simulations are to be focused on Cyber COA development and decision support tools. White papers for this topic will be due by: 21 Jun 10. Awards will range 12-24 months with dollar amounts ranging from $100,000 - $865,000. All other information remains the same.
