HOME ABOUT US OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES CAREERS CONTACT US MISSION PLANNING Daniel H. Wagner Associates has a long history of developing effective mission planning systems. From early work in antisubmarine warfare (ASW), to one of the first computer-assisted search and rescue (SAR) tools, to recent development of components for the ASW mission planner onboard the MH-60R helicopter, Wagner Associates effectively combines sophisticated algorithms with easy-to-use human interfaces to support mission planners. This page contains some of our notable achievements in Mission Planning. Automated Active Sonar Interference Avoidance Algorithms (ASIA) July 21, 2020 Mission Planning For NAVSEA, we developed algorithms and software to address the effects of mutual interference (MI) from active sonar systems, which can degrade the performance of sonar receivers. Specifically, high noise and trailing reverberation can obscure real target detections, and excessive clutter can create Read More Detailed Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicle (AUSV) Modeling and Simulation System (DAMS) July 21, 2020 Data Fusion, Mission Planning Teamed with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Spatial Integrated Systems (SIS), we developed open system architecture (OSA) modeling and simulation (M&S) components that: Simulate an entire environment using an intuitive user interface Execute a complex scenario with Read More Mission Optimization Web Service for Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning Transitioned to USW-DSS Build 2; originally installed at CTF-34 in Pearl Harbor as part of Theater Undersea Warfare Initiative (TUSWI). Uses detailed non-homogeneous environmental data generated by the Navy standard STAPLE system, non-Gaussian tracking algorithms, and non-Gaussian resource optimization Read More Multi-Vehicle Mission Planner (MVMP) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning MVMP optimally allocates Unmanned Vehicle (UV) assets in a typical Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) mission scenario. The demonstration MVMP optimally allocates Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) such as the Remote Environmental Monitoring Unit System (REMUS) or the Battlespace Preparation Autonomous Underwater Read More Operational Route Planner (ORP) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning The Operational Route Planner (ORP) is a state-of-the-art anti-submarine warfare (ASW) search-planning tool used to produce rigorous, near-optimal search paths for multiple searchers employing passive and monostatic active sensors, and aircraft equipped with magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) systems. Read More Tactical Environmental Effects for Precision Guided Missiles (METPLAN) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning During a Phase II Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) project for the Navy, we developed a prototype agent-based system called METPLAN. The system is designed to increase the effectiveness of PGMs by automatically integrating environmental data and weapon-specific and mission-specific environmental Read More Commander’s Estimate of the Situation/Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Tactical Decision Aid (CES/ISR TDA) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning Wagner was awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as a subcontractor to develop a full-scale Mine Warfare (MIW) CES/ISR TDA for eventual transition into the Mine Warfare and Environmental Decision Aids Library Read More Acoustic Mission Planner (AMP) for the MH-60R April 28, 2015 Mission Planning Under a multi-million dollar contract from Lockheed Martin Systems Integration-Owego, Wagner developed an Acoustic Mission Planner (AMP) for the Navy’s MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter. The algorithms used in AMP were originally developed for the MH-60R Decision Support System Testbed Read More Surface Warfare Tactical Decision Aid (SUWTDA/ASUWTDA) April 28, 2015 Mission Planning The Surface Warfare Tactical Decision Aid (SUWTDA) is a tactical decision aid for planning non-acoustic searches against surface ships and submarines. The initial build of this system, known as ASUWTDA, was integrated as a segment of the Global Command and Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M), and deployed Read More MEDSEARCH/PACSEARCH – Cold War ASW January 26, 2015 Mission Planning During the early 1980s, Wagner Associates supported Navy Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW). While stationed in Italy, Dr. W. Reynolds Monach used MEDSEARCH to effectively support the search for Russian submarines in the Mediterranean (think “Hunt for Red October”).
