Lockheed Martin Co-Developing System to Predict Stability of Nations
October 31st, 2007Sounds like a plugin level task for the SEAS system.
Via: Washington Business Journal:
Lockheed Martin Corp. said Wednesday that a team lead by its Cherry Hill, N.J.-based Advanced Technology Laboratories has won a $1.3 million contract to develop a system for predicting crises and the stability of countries.
The contract is for the first phase of development, which covers 15 months. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency doled out the award to the Bethesda-based contractor.
The system is called the Predicting Stability through Analyzing Germane Events system and will be part of DARPA’s Integrated Crises Early Warning System.
Other team members working with Lockheed (NYSE:LMT) include the universities of Pennsylvania, Kansas, Washington and Georgia; Innovative Decisions Inc. and Evidence Based Research Inc. of Vienna; Interactive Data Visualization Inc. of Lexington, S.C.; and Argonne National Laboratory.
More U.S. taxpayer dollars out on the dole for Phd students seeking a thesis project. The US, particularly Argonnned (intentional mispell) will find geeks from around the planet to make this piss in a can project a go.
I would rather my US taxdollars be spent elsewhere thank you kindly Ms. Pelosi.
How about spending dollars on analyzing the germane event on the US citizen with an overnight increase of 10cents at the gas pumps?
Moronic thinking seems to be in ample supply lately. Methinks that dollars would be better spent on studying how to ensure supplies of water and food, rather than “making it a scientific” of the assuredly instability of nations after the fact. IGNORAMUS THINKING ABOUNDS.
