Solution Highlights

The AARDVARK commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution was built using a modular, open standards approach in which each component can be swapped in or out based on the needs of the users or existing customer technology investments. Product applications include:

• Advanced Analytics is a machinelearning-based natural language processing (NLP) technology used to identify and extract named entities and hidden semantic relationships. Advanced Analytics autogenerates entity graphs that can be exported to Link Analysis tools.
• DataARCH® is a semantic mediation application designed to rapidly integrate disparate data sources and mediate data models and ontologies. DataARCH® comes with a plug-in that enables users to perform lifecycleontology management.
• An internal Link Analysis application enables users to create, build, store, and share social network graphs. All work products are published and can be searched at the object level.
• Geospatial Analysis is a map application that allows a user to perform searches as well as visualize object and document data about specific locations. Also, it allows for creation, import, and export of geospatial overlays and presentations.
• Mission Planning capabilities use game theory to simulate scenario and predict enemy location, actions and mission outcome.
• Plug-in for Mission Command integration.
• Report Generation tool containing over 200 report templates and allows users to design additional custom report templates directly in the web-based interface.
• Charts and Graphs application generates charts, graphs, and dashboards of data selected by users.
• Search and Discovery application allows users to build complex searches across all documents and objects within the database including performing relationship based searches and within-document entity visualization.
