Valued at $667,000, the contracts require the company to extend towards integration of data for unbiased intelligence and trust (TID-BIT) that is said to integrate data from multiple sources such as government-trusted sources and sensor technologies, open-source channels including Facebook, Twitter, and individual and multi-author blogs.
Aptima Analytics, Modeling and Simulation director Charlotte Shabarekh said: “Trying to infer information when there is an absence of hard data, analysts are forced to fill in the blanks.
“TID-BIT’s enhancements will provide automated support when analysts don’t have a lot of data but still need to get knowledge out of it.”
The TID-BIT will allow intelligence analysts to perform rapid and accurate situation assessments, as well as provide analysts the ability to explore the source attribution of a piece of information and assess the reliability of the source, the information credibility, and certainty, Aptima said in a statement.
