ExaInformatics<\/a> has used Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE<\/abbr>) funding to develop a system which could help formulate strategic, operational and tactical plans in military deployment scenarios. It uses openly available data from the internet to add to the MOD<\/abbr>\u2019s data gathering efforts to support operations in the field.<\/p>\n

Creation of this knowledge required the invention of a common standard to identify and link sources of data with means to how they can be validated. Using risk algorithms to validate the data the company established a method to create quick knowledge that can be gathered at different stages of a deployment relevant to new fields of operation.<\/p>\n

The project has developed a Knowledge Cube standard for the transfer of goals, sources of data to monitor the goals, and validation criteria for this data.<\/p>\n

It could allow the MOD<\/abbr> to reduce what sources of data are used to those absolutely necessary and in which contexts during specific deployment phases. Multiple cubes can be created and they can be updated on a regular basis using on the ground and external higher level knowledge.<\/p>\n

A demonstration took advantage of a focused use of open data to deploy the use case scenario on an embedded portable device. This device provided the data analysis and visualisation along with integration in a portable low powered box which didn\u2019t need a connection to the internet. This enables the MOD<\/abbr> to populate the device with knowledge, data and sources of data in situ (for example from sensors) and go out on tactical operations without the reliance on a network connection.<\/p>\n

Tom Kirkham, CTO, ExaInformatics says:<\/p>\n

\n

The support and guidance from CDE<\/abbr> has enabled us to better shape our project to MOD<\/abbr> requirements and has helped us open the door to target external MODs which we expect to be a key customer for our KANDO platform.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, ExaInformatics are a new spin-out company from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC<\/abbr>)<\/a> and have expertise in the development of tools and standards to handle new and emerging data from a wide variety of experiments in often complex scientific domains.<\/p>\n
