Request for Information (RFI) for Multi-Intelligence Algorithms 
The US Army, Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD), is seeking information on algorithms, tools, & workflows to address the need for improved real-time multi-INT fusion and processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED). Intelligence includes the position/location reports and/or target signatures that are derived from various multi-INT sensors. The multi-INT analyst is challenged with an ever-growing quantity of intelligence from multiple sources and does
not have the tools to rapidly combine data and identify meaningful events.
To this end, the Army is seeking PED applications that accelerate the processing of intelligence, increase the richness of exploitation, facilitate dissemination, expedite and enhance analyst
RFI fulfillment, and improve commander situational awareness. Applications may lend themselves to either real-time or forensic use or both. Examples of such algorithms include (but are not limited to) the following:
Real-time algorithms will reside directly on the sensor platform, with the purpose of rapidly processing, correlating, and reducing multi-INT data for immediate situational awareness as well as maximizing available bandwidth to a ground station or PED cell. Forensic algorithms take advantage of the wider range of data available on the cloud along with the increased processing power available to provide enhanced products with full situational and historical context. The primary focus of this request is the enhancement of real-time user workflow.
Responders must clearly specify:
- the utility of algorithms for real-time and forensic analysis
- the utility of real-time algorithms for onboard processing
- the utility of real-time algorithms for data/bandwidth reduction
- the ability of algorithms to enhance user workflow
- the ability to expand algorithms to cloud-based computing
- the software licensing rights of the proposed technology
