Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus and method for assessing non-kinetic weapon performance for negating missile threats are generally described herein. In some embodiments, vulnerabilities of missile threats and techniques for negating the threats are identified. A probability of negation associated with an effectiveness of each of the techniques against the vulnerabilities is calculated. The calculated probability of negation of each technique against each vulnerability are conditioned at a plurality of times associated with a plurality of asymmetric missile defense (AMD) layer elements to produce temporal level probabilities of negation. Each temporal level probabilities of negation are conditioned based on a probability of validation of deployment and a probability of verification of mitigation to produce a battle damage assessment probability of negation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a geographical information system has an information database and a client computing system that is coupled to a web server. A web based application is operable to display a map that includes a particular geographical location, retrieve at least one of a plurality of data records from the metadata database, and display the at least one data record at the particular geographical location of the map for a user. The web based application is executable on the client computing system or on the web server using a web browser.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes accessing one or more content that each satisfy one or more parameters of a search request. The method further includes determining a plurality of knowledge components associated with the received one or more content objects, the plurality of content objects including a first knowledge component comprising a first discrete portion of information extracted from the one or more content objects and a second knowledge component comprising a second discrete portion of information extracted from the one or more content objects. The method further includes receiving first and second importance factors indicating the relative importance of the first and second knowledge components, respectively. The method further includes determining, based on the first and second importance factors, an association factor indicating the degree to which the first and second knowledge components are related to one another.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for dynamically processing electronic data between multiple data sources comprises obtaining a first data set from a data source. A run-time updateable configuration file is consulted to determine a first destination for the first data set. The first data set is transmitted to the first destination and the run-time updateable configuration file is again consulted at the first destination to determine instructions for processing of the first data set, the instructions for processing the first data set comprising conversion information and the first destination being a data translator. The data translator converts the first data set according to the conversion information to yield a processed first data set. The run-time updateable configuration file is again consulted to determine a second destination for the processed first data set, whereupon the processed first data set is transmitted to the second destination.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query request comprising geospatial filter criteria. The query request may be received from a mobile client computing system capable of displaying query results as overlays on a digital map. The digital map may be stored at the mobile client computing system and the query results may be stored at a server. First and second portions of the query results may be wirelessly transmitted from the server to the mobile client computing system. The first and second portions may be transmitted during first and second communication sessions between the mobile client computing system and the server. The first and second communication sessions may occur during respective time intervals temporally separated from each other by a gap interval. The client may be capable of concatenating the transmitted first and second portions of the query results.

Abstract: A method for processing data streams from multiple data sources comprises receiving a data stream from a data source. A data template is dynamically selected, the data template comprising at least one data template region. A data region of the data stream is selected based on one of the data template regions. At least a portion of the data region is mapped to an intermediate data store based on the data template region. The mapped portion of the data region is extracted and stored in the intermediate data store.
