Delfin's Foreign Intelligence Module helps intelligence analysts perform foreign threat
recognition and warning by providing flexible views into the vast interconnected realm of political,
economic and military data. The system provides flexible access to a wide variety of data stored
within its own database and supports on-line network retrieval of external documents and images.
The system also provides automated decision aids which can help an analyst understand and then
monitor the key aspects of the subject country, and allows an analyst to compose a polished and
convincing report documenting his findings, which can then be published for dissemination.
The system is delivered on a SUN-4 workstation as an integrated suite of software
partitioned into three categories: desktop productivity, knowledge manipulation, and automated
reasoning. Desktop productivity software moves the analyst from a paper oriented environment
to a graphics-based electronic environment, and includes such utilities as a word processor,
spreadsheet, drawing package, calculator, clock, and more. Knowledge manipulation software
controls the electronic storage and retrieval of vast quantities of diverse information, and makes use
of such advanced tools as natural language interface and graphical hierarchy displays. Automated
reasoning software helps the analyst investigate the vast on-line library, and includes such features
as relevant information suggestion, historical scenario search, and real-time pattern identification
and anomaly detection.

Delfin Systems has implemented an expert system that monitors the behaviors of
organizations and individuals using a combination of past and current activity data and established
behavior models. The delivered system correlates activity reports from multiple sources and
compares the developed activity patterns to stored behavior models. In accomplishing its
objectives for providing timely indications and warning, this system detects and evaluates
deviations between current or future situations and established patterns -- and its automated
learning feature can update existing behavior models as the underlying patterns evolve. Users can
create behavior model specializations for specific organizations or subcomponents that do not
follow normal behavior patterns.
The system is delivered on a Sun-4 under Unix or on a DEC VAXStation under VMS. It
comes with concurrent operations and development environments, supports distributed processing,
and can interface to remote Oracle or Sybase databases. This system uses NEXPERT Object for
its expert system engine, and uses VWS graphics on the VAXStation, X-Windows on the Sun; all
external routines are written in "C".

Tactical commanders require timely and accurate intelligence estimates of their evolving area of
operations, of the enemy situation, and of the enemy's capabilities and probable courses of action.
Production of an intelligence estimate is a complex problem with many aspects which are not quantifiable
and decision processes not easily expressed. The expertise applied to producing an estimate ranges from
the interpretation and understanding of a wide variety of input reports such as tactical reports (TACREP),
spot reports (SPOTREP), radar exploitation reports (RADAREXREP), and report-like information about
weather and terrain, to the development of high level conclusions that require abstract and complex
reasoning.
Delfin's Automated Intelligence Production system applies artificial intelligence technology to
automatically produce and continuously update a corps-level intelligence estimate. Incoming reports, at
various levels of abstraction, are parsed, interpreted, and used to update appropriate paragraphs of the
Intelligence Estimate. Those reports dealing with significant activities are further analyzed for their
implications about strengths, capabilities, and potential indications of specific courses of action. This
system is built in LOOPS and InterLisp-D language on a XEROX 1109 AI workstation.

Army deployment includes moving forces into austere environments where there may be limited,
damaged or non-existent facilities for moving cargo ashore. Logistics over the shore (LOTS) operations
are conducted when fixed seaport discharge facilities are denied to cargo ships carrying combat equipment,
sustaining supplies and resupply. Delfin and Vitro are developing an expert system-based planning aid to
provide the ocean terminal commander a decision making tool for the utilization of watercraft lighterage in
off-loading cargo ships to meet the required delivery dates of the theater commander.
A prototype LOTS discharge planning system is implemented on an IBM PC/AT computer using a
custom-built framework on top of GOLDWORKS, Gold Hill's expert system development tool. This
framework reasons with dynamically changing operational characteristics, supply requirements, ship
arrivals, available lighterage and stevedore companies, and reference data about ship types and operational
constraints.

In meeting the challenges of the modern theater battlefield, timely logistics planning is essential.
This planning must be responsive to a broad range of dynamic factors that are dependent on variations in
operational intensity, force dispersion, mobility and surge demands. To assist the logistics planner in
dealing with these dynamic factors, Delfin Systems has developed an expert system-based planning aid
that supports rapid replanning and the exploration of alternate plans.
The logistics planning aid is implemented on an IBM PC/AT computer using a custom built expert
system framework on top of GOLDWORKS, Gold Hill's expert system development tool. This
framework integrates and reasons with logistics planning expertise, regional environmental factors (such
as terrain and weather), and man-made transportation features (such as roads, bridges, airfields, railroads,
and pipelines) in order to automatically determine, recommend and justify optimum movement plans and to
identify problems in meeting required delivery dates.

Individual signal search and collection sensors automatically detect and process signals of interest,
and produce activity reports that contain concise, formatted descriptions of each signal intercept. Delfin's
Sensor Event Correlation System is an expert system that automatically correlates and assembles input
signal activity reports into communications profiles, matches these profiles to known operational event
patterns, and identifies missing or expected signal data. The Event Correlation System also formulates
queries for specific data contained in external operational event databases (such as closure areas) and in
support databases (such as platform and emitter attributes). The system can also accept user-volunteered
collateral data inputs. System outputs consist of event alarms, signal predictions, and justifications for
alarms and predictions.
The configuration of the Event Correlation System for installation and operation at an overseas
signal collection site consists of a DEC microVAX II connected via DECNET protocol over an Ethernet
LAN to the external collection systems and databases. Database interface is via SQL-Net and ORACLE,
and user interaction is forms-oriented using the FMS forms management package. Automatic event
correlation functions are supported by specialized mechanisms coded in C, working with the NEXPERT
OBJECT expert system building tool. A smaller version of the event correlation system is also available
on an IBM PC/AT.

Delfin Systems has developed specialized extensions to the Artificial Intelligence concept of the
blackboard model of problem solving into the area of distributed computing. These architectural
extensions allow problem solving expertise to be distributed into a network of independent, autonomous
and cooperating expert systems. This architecture has been tailored to signal understanding problems that
require (a) correlation and reasoning with data and information from dissimilar sources, (b) scenario
hypothesizing based on incomplete data, (c) prediction of anticipated data based on the hypotheses, (d)
uncertainty handling and decision making in the presence of uncertainty, and (e) conflict detection and
resolution.
A demonstration prototype includes three expert systems: ELINT analysis, COMINT analysis,
and ELINT-COMINT correlation in the domain of air defense. ELINT deduces intelligence data about
airborne platforms and their activities from observations of their radar emissions. COMINT deduces
intelligence data about the activities of platforms from intercepted message traffic. CORRELATION
maintains and displays an integrated model of the current situation, analyzes global activities and
recognizes threats. Communications between the three autonomous expert systems is through Reports,
Feedback, and Tasking messages.

Delfin has developed a "Technical SIGINT" expert system designed to assist cryptologic
operators at sea in recognizing and identifying key tactical communications signals of interest out
of the thousands of signals simultaneously present in the operational environment. This system
also assists the operator in managing the assignment of onboard assets to maximize collection of
other signals that can contribute to the understanding of the tactical communications signal
environment around the platform. Primary signal and data inputs are taken directly and
unobtrusively from the system bus of existing search and collection front-ends. As key essential
elements of signal information are extracted, the system alerts the operator of high priority signals
by providing a concise description of the situation, its rationale for the assessment, and a
recommended course of action.
The system runs on a VAXStation 3100 with software written using NEXPERT Object for
the knowledge bases, and the C programming language for the procedural portions. Database
support is provided via the ORACLE DBMS. Knowledge can be modified by users in the field to
enable the system to stay abreast of dynamically changing operational environments.

Delfin has developed an automated signal scanning system that rapidly examines large
volumes of digitized signal data to identify new, unusual or anomalous types of signal features
associated with the activities of a source platform. Signal features of various shapes and durations
are isolated, extracted and characterized using scale-space filtering techniques. Features are then
combined to form activities, and activities are combined to form events through model-based
reasoning and expert systems techniques. A hierarchical structure provides the ability to model
actions at various levels of abstraction. Powerful model-matching mechanisms compare activities
to normal situations and identify activities that are outside the norm. The feature, activity, and
event models provide a structure for encoding knowledge that is readily understandable to
analysts. These modules are easily modified and maintained by signals analysts.
The major processing components of this system are written in Objective-C and operate
within an IBM PS/2 serving as the analyst's workstation for signal and platform activity
monitoring, model development and model refinement.

Delfin has designed an expert system-based man-machine interface (MMI) that operates as
a self-contained workstation capable of being connected to and interfaced with any Tactical
Cryptologic System (TCS). Within Delfin's expert MMI system, specific knowledge about host
TCS hardware configurations, RF distributions, analysis equipment, equipment control, software
functionalities and capabilities, external interfaces, cryptologic operator aids, reporting, and
communications is coupled with more general analysis and correlation knowledge to provide
expert-level assessments of tasks and plans, operational configurations, analysis, collection, DF,
geography, and operator efficiency. The system optimizes equipment settings, learns favorite
operator procedures, and engenders immediate response to rapidly developing signal events. This
universal MMI capability complements and enhances traditional procedural MMI modules and
provides a consistent, user friendly interface readily understood by cryptologic technicians and
usable by them across the entire range of fielded and emerging tactical cryptologic systems.
The Universal MMI system is being implemented on a Navy Standard Desktop Terminal
Computer Version 3 (a SUN 4) in UNIX, using C++ for procedural software, NEXPERT Object
for the expert system component and X-Windows for display.

High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) is integral to piecing together a complete intelligence
picture concerning the nature and intent of target military forces. The HFDF process involves the
simultaneous acquisition and direction of arrival determination of a signal of interest by several HFDF
acquisition sites, followed by the analysis of the acquired lines of bearing to geolocate the signal's source.
Bearing quality is of paramount importance to obtaining acceptable fix geometry and accurate geolocations.
Many factors can contribute to bearing error and other fix inaccuracies.
The BULLSEYE Offline Analysis Tool (BOAT) was developed by Delfin Systems as a low cost
offline analysis system to evaluate the performance of HFDF Systems and to identify possible sources of
inaccuracies. BOAT allows an operator or analyst to extract HFDF case data without impacting net
operations. An analyst can extract subsets of information in any manner desired depending upon the type
of analysis that must be performed. Extracted case information is stored and manipulated in a PC-AT
microprocessor-based environment. A unique feature of the BOAT system is the utilization of two video
monitors simultaneously. A monochrome monitor is used to display alpha-numeric data and an enhanced
graphics adaptor (EGA) high-resolution color display with mouse support is used to display geographic
map information, lines-of-bearing (LOBs), fix location, ellipse, track history, and other pertinent
information about an individual HFDF case. BOAT displays geo-locational data in either MERCATOR or
GNOMONIC map projections.

Delfin Systems provides critically needed Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) engineering, analytical skills, and technology support required to
efficiently search for, detect, identify, isolate, and mitigate the effects of EMI and RFI in Radio
Frequency (RF) sensitive facilities and systems. A typical signal to noise enhancement program
conducted by Delfin surveys fixed and mobile communications, signal processing, and related
computer facilities to determine the levels and effects of EMI/RFI present at a particular site, then
isolates and mitigates the effects of detected noise sources on site systems. Such a program
significantly increases the sensitivity and dynamic range of communications receiving and signal
processing systems, thus reducing processing errors caused by interference. Thus far Delfin has
participated in EMI/RFI survey and noise reduction efforts at sites in Japan, Guam, Diego Garcia,
Scotland, Germany, Spain, Puerto Rico, Iceland and the continental United States. Additionally,
Delfin has conducted a number of field engineering tests concerning the effects of Over-The-
Horizon (OTH) Radar Systems and other very powerful, discrete signals on victim signal
collection systems as well as the influence of frequency agile, (e.g. Industrial-Scientific-Medical
(ISM), ionospheric sounders), ground wave and near-field E and B radiation on these systems.
Delfin's success in RFI/EMI reduction is due to our in-depth understanding of the nature
and the sources of noise and our innovative, proven techniques for isolating and mitigating the
effects of noise.

SUITCASE COMINT COLLECTION SYSTEM
Delfin has developed an extremely low-cost Suitcase COMINT Collection System (SCS) that is
easily transported as checked airline baggage, and set up and used by untrained field operators. SCS
provides continuous frequency coverage from .5 to 1200 MHz with detection and recording capability for
all narrow-band AM, FM, FSK, and CW signals. SCS is complete in itself and is designed for use in
situations where rapid, tactical response is needed. One or more suitcases can be deployed on board any
platform or at any field site. Systems can be pre-positioned for deployment at a moment's notice. SCS
can use platform or site-available antennas and RF distribution systems, or can be used with its own
antennas. Attention has been paid to reducing own-system generated EMI by using the topological
approach to signal grounding. Maintenance is inexpensive and easy in that all components and piece parts
are available from a variety of commercial retail outlets worldwide. No maintenance personnel are
required in the field to support system installation and use.

Real-time automatic recognizers for structured data signals-of-interest (SOIs) are an essential
component in signal collection and exploitation, situation assessment and automatic threat identification.
Delfin Systems has developed a new family of signal recognizers that, compared to their predecessors,
provide signal recognition at lower signal-to-noise and signal-to-interference ratios while improving the
capabilities for rejecting interferers. Delfin's recognition methodology quickly examines the AM, FM, and
PM video outputs of a receiver to determine the modulation method and synchronously produces the
element and frame rates, filtering out impulsive noise. If the measured parameters are reasonably close to
those of a signal-of-interest, a more precise parameter measurement is made and the signal structure unique
to the data format is sought. Recognition is declared when the parameters and structure match those of a
signal-of-interest within an operator selectable latitude.
To further enhance performance at low SNR, two additional features may be added, Synchronous
Video Integration and full bandwidth Digital Demodulation. These two features are available for those
applications emphasizing SNR performance and recognizer connection to receiver IF. Digital
Demodulation also allows for recognition in SOI-matched bandwidths using non-optimum (wider) receiver
IF bandwidths, for example, the receiver IF bandwidths used for Pre-Detection recording of signals.

Delfin's data signal recognizer is implemented using the Intel 80X86 microprocessor family,
custom ASIC, Zoran FIR and TMS 320 DSP chips on single or multiple circuit card assemblies, with a
bus interface. A CMOS very low power version is also available. Recognition times are between 30ms
and 100ms plus the signal sample time length for PD>>.9 and PFA<10⁻⁷. The recognizer hardware cards
are non-signal specific and provide for expansion in the number and types of measurements made,
including rapid and easy software accommodation of additions or substitutions of new signals-of-interest
or to accommodate new variations as signals evolve.
The recognizer hardware is available as a set of circuit cards or in a stand-alone chassis. Parallel
recognizer channels may be implemented as shown in the photograph above, an 8-channel parallel
recognizer with operator interface. Signal parameters are downloaded via floppy disk and results are
displayed on the front panel and to a host system via bus connection.

The Delfin Systems Structured Signal Generator is a programmable self-contained, RF test signal
source. Available in rack-mount or portable case models, it provides formatted instrumentation, bauded,
and automated communications signals for system development, test and operator training. Single-shot or
continuously repetitive signals of precisely defined characteristics are generated at output frequencies
selectable between baseband and 1200 MHz.
Hardware circuitry is not signal specific; signals of up to 8 MHz bandwidth may be generated with
sub-microsecond parameter timing control. AM, FM and PM modulation is possible, simultaneously.
Signal parameters are constructed externally, stored on a floppy disk or EEPROM key, and input to the
generator via the front panel. Operator control of signal selection, RF output amplitude and frequency,
and limited signal parameter modification is provided via a front panel color touch-screen CRT display.
Front panel connectors provide sync signals (start of signal, frame mark, channel sync, etc.), RF output
and signal video.
Typical modulation types may be OOK (Morse or pulsed), multilevel FSK, multilevel PSK, FSK-
OOK, QAM, and compound (FM-FM, FM-PM, etc.). The generator is software driven with the signal
parameters downloaded from memory. There is no resident permanent memory (ROM, etc.), so the
generator hardware reverts to unclassified on removal of the signal disk or key and power-off.

The Delfin Systems Demodulation Subsystem is a general purpose demodulator for signals
of up to 8 MHz predetection bandwidth. It accepts 21.4 MHz IF or baseband input and provides
digitally derived AM, FM, and PM video.
The digital demodulator section operates on baseband signals in the range of 0 to 8 MHz.
A simple change of digitizing rate and filter parameters allows operation at different bandwidths,
for example 0 to 2 MHz. The companion baseband converter* is a high quality imageless mixer
providing 50dB spur-free dynamic range at +13 dBm output and accepts a nominal -40 dBm 21.4
MHz IF input. This is translated to baseband with 40 dB rejection (min) of the unwanted image
product and less than 100nsec p-p group delay ripple. The internal LO reference can be
phaselocked to an external 5 MHz standard.
The demodulator digitizes the baseband signal at 20 megasamples per second at 8 bits. It
derives the inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) signal components and, through a rectangular to polar
conversion, produces the instantaneous signal phase and amplitude. The instantaneous amplitude
is lowpass filtered at 4 MHz to produce the AM video output. The instantaneous phase is
differentiated to produce instantaneous FM, which is low pass filtered at 4 MHz for the FM video
output. It is also additionally filtered at 1 MHz and subtracted from the instantaneous phase to
produce an instantaneous unwrapped (carrier removed) phase which is lowpass filtered at 4 MHz
to produce the PM output. All filtering is done with linear phase FIR filters for best signal fidelity
and all outputs are 8 bit parallel TTL signals at a 10 megasample per second rate.
Multiple demodulators can be ganged for predetection bandwidths up to 125 MHz.

Delfin's Air Tactics Analysis Expert System performs automatic reconstruction of three
dimensional aircraft tracks based on airframe performance characteristics, track skeleton
information derived from communications intercepts, known maneuver profiles, correlated track
data from a variety of sources, and analyst heuristics. The system combines independently
collected data input files which contain azimuth, range and altitude position reports with analyst-
provided event skeleton information and built-in maneuver profile model to automatically
reconstruct the individual flight tracks for complex maneuvers involving multiple aircraft.
The delivered system runs on a DEC VAXStation 3100 under VMS operating system. A
menu-driven user interface component consists of conventional software written in C language and
VWS graphics. An expert system component makes use of the Mercury KBE expert system shell,
VAX LISP and C to codify and apply general knowledge about track reconstruction processing,
rules that specify what to do with certain pieces of knowledge, database software to store interim
results and procedural code to perform traditional software processing. Multiple hypotheses are
generated and ranked by using symbolic uncertainty handling techniques.

Delfin's Shape Intersection Technique (SIT) combines signal and image processing
methods to locate radar transmitters and receivers from radar signals collected passively with an
omnidirectional antenna. The method is based on searching a calculated set of possible transmitter
positions, receiver positions and radar parameters until the predicted locations of bistatic reflectors
optimally match a feature reference data base of known reflector locations. Reflector locations are
obtained by converting measured pulse times of arrival to two-dimensional locations based on a
geometric model of the bistatic radar geometry. The feature reference data base can be extracted
from the digital terrain elevation data (DTED) and digital cultural feature data (DCFD), both
available from the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) or directly from registered radar data.
The advantages of the SIT approach are that only a single collection site is needed for a
very short length of time and the resulting location can be very accurate. In addition to its obvious
military value in locating transmitters in the air, on land and at sea, the technique can also be used
as a navigational aid to provide the position of the collection platform relative to previously known
radar transmitter locations.

Radar threat projections indicate future engagements will encounter increased signal densities,
higher radio frequencies, advanced modulation techniques, substantial use of frequency diversity and
agility, and improved electronic counter-countermeasures, all of which compromise the ability of threat
warning systems to isolate, detect, and classify threat emitters. Current self-protection systems fail to
achieve proper threat identification due to the inadequacies of library matching techniques, parameter
measurement errors due to missing or overlapping pulses, and failure to measure or characterize complex
signal structures.
Delfin's Adaptive Threat Recognizer (ATR) is a prototype system designed to demonstrate and
evaluate the feasibility of combining expert systems technology with radar signal processing techniques to
provide threat recognition against existing, emerging, and anticipated threat signals. ATR addresses the
recognition of tactical threats by analyzing signal characteristics against the context of emitter operational
profiles and the developing electronic order of battle (EOB).

Ground-based and airborne controllers for Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) provide the essential
processing intelligence for UAV mission planning and flight plan control. Delfin Systems has developed
flexible airborne and ground-based controllers which interface to a variety of navigation and
communication peripherals as well as mission-specific payload packages. The Airborne Controller utilizes
navigational positions and heading inputs to calculate the guidance control data required by an autopilot
system. The system can handle an unlimited number of waypoints for any number of mission flight plans.
Flight plans provide the desired cross tracks, waypoint loiter patterns, and engine power settings. The
Ground-Based Controller is a computer system with a user friendly operator interface to control and
monitor the UAV and its associated peripherals. Operator selectable windows with minimal keystroke
entries provide a modular environment for functional expandability. A communication link using off-the-
shelf VHF/UHF transceivers and modems provides reliable line-of-sight air/ground interfacing. The
communication message packet offers error detection/correction and networking capabilities.

Delfin's Pulse Signal Classification System is designed to classify, de-interleave and identify a
variety of complex, sophisticated radar signals, including monopulse with intra-pulse FM, chirp, FSK and
PCM FM and PCM AM. The system operates by measuring both intentional (IMOP) and unintentional
(UMOP) modulation on radar pulses, de-interleaving a mixture of pulsed signals on the basis of their intra-
pulse modulation characteristics, and then classifying these signals. The system also makes use of angle
of arrival and carrier frequency data in de-interleaving, when provided as an external input.
The Pulse Signal Classification System employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing based on
Delfin's proprietary digital demodulation technology, special-purpose ASIC and hybrid circuits developed
by Delfin Systems, and a parallel design that achieves an instantaneous band width of 100MHz.

TIMS is an auxiliary processing system of the Tactical Flag Command Center (TFCC),
which allows the distribution of tactical locating data to desktop computers located in staff and ship
workspaces which support TFCC. All data stored in TIMS is managed by a relational data base
management system (DBMS).
Within TFCC, the principle function of TIMS is to provide tailored alphanumeric display
support to the various graphic display systems. This function is provided through the generation
of Automated Status Boards (ASTABS), which can be configured by TIMS users to fit the current
tactical situation. These ASTABS can be displayed on any of the TIMS terminals, on color
displays mounted in TFCC and on the ship's TV system. In addition to the automated display of
tactical data, TIMS provides for the display of the Airwing Status, current and forecasted weather,
and technical characteristics from the Naval Warfare Tactical Data Base (NWTDB). The system
contains a one-line inter-terminal message system as well as an electronic mail system. Users can
write Officer-in-Tactical-Command-Information-Exchange Subsystem (OTCIXS) opnotes and
JINTACCS MARREPS on each of the terminals for output to the host tactical computer or to paper
tape, as appropriate.
