Charles River Analytics developed Perseid as a major component of the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) C2 Constellation’s Deliberate and Dynamic ISR Management (D2ISRM) initiative. Perseid provides decision-support tools for ISR collection management. These tools provide automated support for the enormous amount of manual data gathering and complex reasoning that collection managers must perform during planning and execution of ISR operations. During planning, Perseid allocates available assets to meet ISR requirements, generating multiple collection plan options. Perseid then helps the collection manager compare each option’s strengths and weaknesses before making a decision. During execution, Perseid provides a dynamic ISR synchronization matrix (ISR missions plotted on a timeline) to improve real-time situational awareness. Perseid also supports managing incoming requests for ISR by recommending retasking options. Each option is generated by automatically performing common manual calculations, such as time-to-target and intelligence gain/loss assessment. Perseid applies techniques from the fields of optimization and information visualization to present information in a way that helps collection managers rapidly make the most appropriate decision. As part of the D2ISRM initiative, The Perseid application was designed to work with the emerging AOC 10.2 modernization effort to minimize transition and sustainment costs as air operations evolve.
