Cloud-Based Knowledge Extraction (CBEx) System: A Solution for Real-time Data Analysis for Rapid Decision Making

This paper introduces CBEx, a novel Cloud-Based knowledge Extraction system that efficiently and effectively ingests data from various sensor platforms across disparate domain Command and Control (C2) constructs and sensors. It employs pre-processing techniques tailored to each data type, ensuring consistent analysis and structuring according to a unified taxonomy. The structured data is stored in a unified format in a database, enabling real-time decision support based on Essential Elements of Information (EEIs). This solution offers tools to enhance multi-domain situational awareness by integrating data sources from multiple domains and by employing advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) analytics for accurate and rapid decision-making throughout the mission cycle. The feasibility of CBEx is demonstrated through three realistic scenarios, showcasing its ability to integrate a variety of data sources effectively while providing decision support in real-time.
