Advanced Sensor Integration & Design

Multi-sensor integration is the process of intelligently integrating data and information from multiple sources to facilitate decision making.  The application of information fusion in multi-sensor data integration is referred to as “data fusion.” Multi-sensor data fusion involves a formal framework that encapsulates the means and tools for fusing data originating from different sensor sources. The technology involved uses detection, preprocessing, and data interpretation to derive useful information.  This method has emerged as the method of choice for implementing robust information systems that must contend with imperfect data inputs. 

Sensor fusion has application in a wide variety of fields including artificial neural networks, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition.  The effective implementation multi-sensor data integration requires a team with expertise in non desctructive inspection (NDI), multi-sensor data fusion and modeling using advanced signal and image processing techniques, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), fuzzy logic, and wavelets.  KBSI has successfully completed a number of initiatives involving sensor analysis, image analysis, fusion, multi-sensor and multi-target tracking, neural networks, detection of objects in images, and data mining (rule association, statistical analysis, clustering, etc.).

 

 

Framework for Intelligent support of Smart Transducers (FIST™)

KBSI is building the framework to provide a plug-and-play capability for large-scale smart transducer deployments.  The FIST™ technology will revolutionize the way in which flight test and instrumentation engineers design, implement, test and manage sensor networks by exploiting the inherent benefits of the smart transducer technology.

Intelligent Asset Tracking and Management System (IATMS)

KBSI developed a unified framework for geolocation knowledge that provides instant visualization of MRO assets, improving asset utilization and scheduling and MRO flow-times.  The IATMS technology also allows for knowledge discovery of equipment-task and equipment-resource relationships using geolocation data and other external data sources.

Intelligent System for Abstraction & Integration of Instrumentation Hardware (ISAIIH)

KBSI is developing an XML-based language that acts as an intermediary between the Instrumentation Support Systems (ISS) and the many vendor-specific languages involved. This functionality will support the programming of instrumentation systems prior to testing and evaluation (T&E).

Wireless-enabled Workflows for Ship Manufacturing and Repair (AWSM)

KBSI is developing a new paradigm for ship manufacturing based on a redesign of manufacturing processes and the use of computing and wireless technologies that will deliver information--activity statuses, resource availabilities, design and scheduling changes--to every user, work crew, or process, regardless of location, involved in the ship production or repair.
