We are developing a system that provides
users with the ability to enter, process, retrieve, review, edit,
share, and distribute a broad range of cultural information while
working in unfamiliar cultures. The system was designed for use by
both field (using Windows-based hand-held devices) and office (via
desktop or laptop) personnel. Operators enter information using a
familiar wiki-type interface and tool bar. However, entries are coded
with meta-data (tags and predefined relationships) and stored in the
database in a manner that permits access to records through a familiar
search function, automatic extraction of information via meta-data,
or by selectively displaying items from the set of categories tailored
to the priorities and needs of the intended user group. The system
also supports frequently-used forms, utilities, and other resources
identified through user-centered research. Learn

The Army loses an average of $58 million
and 14 lives each year to obstacle strikes and the civilian helicopter
industry is similarly devastated. We have identified the requirements
and developed candidate solutions for the Rotorcraft Obstacle Avoidance
Display (ROAD), conceptually integrating a system of human interface
techniques to provide the rotorcraft pilot with the three-dimensional
spatial relationships between the aircraft, terrain, and obstacles.
Our work continues to develop and evaluate the key concepts revealed
to date and to adapt and integrate them to best serve in Army and
civilian settings, depending upon aircraft type, ancillary equipment,
type of mission, phase of the mission and other factors.

The Naval Sea Systems Command is funding
the development of an advanced HCI for ASW, for application to the
Navy's next-generation stealth destroyer DDG-1000. Now in Phase II,
this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project is expected
to yield an advanced Tactical User Interface (TUI) that a major DoD
contractor can employ in selected Combat System workstations for DD(X)
and other naval warships. This project leverages off of a highly advanced
TUI that the project director co-developed with Raytheon Company for
Electronic Warfare. Learn

The Police Personnel Allocation Manuals
(PAMs) were developed for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) by the Center for Public Safety at Northwestern University
in 1991. The computerized version of the Personnel Allocation Method
(PAM), developed recently by Anacapa Sciences, provides a sophisticated
and defensible allocation method to agencies that otherwise would
be constrained in their abilities to manage patrol effort effectively,
identify requirements, and justify requests for additional personnel
to perform their missions. Learn

The MTAT is designed to predict performance
in real-world environments that demand high levels of multi-tasking
activity. Individuals most likely to perform well may be selected
for employment or assigned to these environments, thereby reducing
the high training costs and excessive turnover that often accompanies
such jobs. Learn

Software protection and software attack (reverse
engineering) are two sides of a never-ending arms race. The only way
to develop and maintain a powerful protection capability is to constantly
test it against successive generations of more-powerful attack capability,
then upgrade protection to neutralize attack. As soon as an opposing
party develops better attack technology, protection is compromised.
Therefore, winning the protection side of this conflict requires also
winning the attack side. Learn

The PRISMS simulator was originally developed
as a helicopter flight simulator with capabilities necessary to demonstrate
helmet-mounted display (HMD) symbology along with facilities for knowledge
acquisition, experimental control, and data recording. Learn

The Mobile Officer's Assistant (MOA) is a
system of hand-held computers that enables law enforcement officers
to generate electronic citations and make NCIC queries for wanted
persons and stolen vehicles, and vehicle registration and driver's
license status. Custom versions of MOA have been developed for the
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and the Austin and Sugar
Land, Texas, Police Departments. Many other agencies have requested
proposals and placed MOA at the top of their "wish list."

A system of web-based training modules is
being developed to enhance the critical thinking now required by Army
officers. The system, under development for the Army Research Institute,
will be incorporated into the curriculum at the Army Command and Staff
College, Fort Leavenworth Kansas. Learn

SAMEPAGE is both a systematic approach to
training and a computer-based instructional delivery system. It is
designed to develop and maintain shared understanding (SU) between
team members, so they can gain a decisive edge in executing synchronized
team/mission tasks. Procedures are designed to help teams to establish
SU early and maintain it throughout mission execution; yet if lapses
occur, to facilitate regaining SU quickly. Learn
