Abstract: A system for collecting and analyzing agricultural data. A team of crop scouts performs a scouting operation in a farm, each crop scout interacting with a mobile device. The mobile device provides a navigation display guiding the scout along a route, from one data collection point to the next. At each data collection point, the crop scout makes observations and measurements and inputs the corresponding data into the mobile device. A control operator at a central location monitors the progress of the scouting operation and revises the routes or locations of data collection points when appropriate, based on data received during the scouting operation. A cloud service analyzes the data and provides recommendations to a farm operator.

Abstract: A data broker-reasoner (DBR) system for automating mission planning and execution includes a context originating entity, a reasoner/decision entity, and a plurality of enforcement entities. The context originating entity extracts mission policy information from a variety of source materials, including checklists, manuals, and other documentation. The reasoner/decision entity interprets the mission policy in the context of situational awareness (SA) events to determine which policies should be enforced. Each of the enforcement entities is configured to enforce various policies within the context of a given mission lifecycle phase by providing commands, data, and requests to a plurality of user applications and/or other mission systems. The DBR can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously.
