The software will be capable of providing recommendations for enhanced mission planning for follow on flights deployment of tactical sensors. The software will also be capable of deep dive acoustic analysis for the extraction of ACINT. The GRAMS software upgrades not only provides continued advances in post flight analysis but also provides for in-flight use of measured sound pressure level data for pattern re-evaluation, pattern re-calculation, improved operator performance in detection and classification, post-flight mission reconstruction, and data archiving and dissemination. This software upgrade will be capable of interacting with existing models, equipment, and databases without interference. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
