New Phase II Award: ONSITE
College Station, Texas, May 26, 2010
The Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected KBSI's Open Source Information Tactical Exploitation (ONSITE) proposal for phase II funding. ONSITE uses an innovative approach to natural language processing (NLP) to significantly increase processing rates for natural language understanding in support of military tactical operations. The ONSITE technology deviates from traditional statistical and grammar rule-based approaches to shallow NLP (e.g., from part-of-speech and phrase chunking) by instead using a specially constructed ontology that produced higher processing throughput and increased the semantic resolution of extracted information.

KBSI Receives NSRP Project Award
College Station, Texas, May 5, 2010
The Executive Control Board of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) has announced awards for new research projects as part of the Navy/Industry co-funded portfolio focusing on cost reduction in the U.S. shipbuilding and ship repair industry. NSRP, with the support of Navy funding, periodically awards major R&D projects through which new technologies and innovative processes can be developed and implemented as a means for reducing shipbuilding and repair costs for the Navy and the industry at large.
The Process Oriented Visual Planning Tool (POV Planner) Project, led by Todd Pacific Shipyards, will develop a user-friendly production planning tool that incorporates data from three commercial software tools: a Product Modeler (ShipConstructor), a Product Visualization Tool (NavisWorks) and KBSI's Work Simulation Tool (WorkSim®). The POV Planner will consist of a complete set of standard shipbuilding process templates and a suite of tools.

KBSI Named Hallmark of Success Company
NASA has recognized KBSI's technology development work under the SBIR/STTR program by naming KBSI a Hallmark of Success Company.
NASA’s Hallmark of Success consists of a collection of short videos about successful companies that have transferred or commercialized NASA-funded technology by knowledge sharing, technical assistance, intellectual property licensing, cooperative research and/or technology projects.
KBSI personnel were interviewed concerning the following NASA projects; Knowledge Aided Mission Planning System, a software program demonstrating the power of planning and scheduling for missions; Ontology Driven Information Integration, a software program that model the meaning of terminology; Optimization Modeling Assistant, a software tool used to assist management in creating planning optimization models; Range Process Simulation Tool, which provided spaceport planning and scheduling support; and Toolkit of Enabling Adaptive Modeling and Simulation, used to develop, maintain, and reconfigure operations analysis models to spaceport.
A video was developed by NASA's Langley Research Center's SBIR STTR Office and highlights KBSI's work on a number of NASA funded projects.
