IntePoint partnered with the Complex Systems Institute (UNCC), Oak Ridge National Lab, and Georgia Tech on for the ACSES DARPA project
We demonstrated the capability to computationally combine and compare multiple social science theories to provide robust plausible futures
The multi-model CAS simulation was incorporated into Vu, an interdependency consequence analysis capability to extend the results to include critical infrastructure
Team is currently authoring a book on complicated CAS modeling techniques
The ACSES model has been applied to Mali and Kenya for an ERDC program
We continue to drive to a rigorous and actionable modeling framework that supports more granular, less tightly coupled agent models
This unique approach is immediately applicable for training exercises and JIPOE supporting analysis
Will require 2 – 3 years of additional development and V&V before being deployable as a planning and campaign tool.

For the DARPA ACSES project the team developed a platform that integrated multiple, alternative social science theories into a unified simulation framework. Additionally, using existing capabilities, we integrated that CAS model with an infrastructure analysis for a PMESII/COA analysis.
Social science theories included citizen allegiance and ideology, behavior of citizen agents, and social mobilization theories
Demonstrated quantifiable and realistic effects and identified threshold events for simulation of nonlinear phenomena including both expected and unexpected results
Simulates dynamic networks of repeated feedback systems among agents
Exposes causal relationships that support analysis and insight for DIME options
The team leveraged the Vu interdependency analysis
capability for a DARPA project that incorporated multiple social
science (CAS/agent) leadership models to obtain a more robust
understanding of population responses to events/COAs

IntePoint has teamed with UNC-Charlotte since 2003 to provide the integrated modeling and simulation capability for a USG program by translating research into actionable tools.
IntePoint has experience in net-centric and desktop software development services in both classified and non-classified environments
Ideas have been taken from initial concept through research, design, development, testing, DODIIS accreditation and deployment (TRL 1 – 9)
IntePoint has a 100% success record in completing all contract deliverables, within-budget and often ahead of schedule
The USG invested >$14M in cumulative funding to develop the capability for interdependency analysis and modeling & simulation capability used to support functional defeat and system of systems analysis
By capturing the intellectual property created through these contracts, IntePoint has independently developed a web-based COTS product (Vu), obtained three patents, has several pending patents, and 15+ publications in academic literature
Our interdependency experience has been applied in multiple DOD agencies, DHS, and commercially at Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo
Recently signed a teaming agreement to leverage Vu to support state of the art monitoring and analysis for the electric power grid
The IntePoint team has 10+ years of successful collaboration
in transitioning ideas through research into useful capabilities.

Interdependency Analytics bona fides
© IntePoint LLC. Proprietary
For a USG program, the team researched, designed, and developed an accredited and deployed interdependency analysis capability used to support system of systems analysis
Vu is a domain agnostic analytics capability for integrated modeling and simulation that helps analysts to better understand multiple complex, interdependent infrastructure networks (e.g., electrical power, road/rail, petroleum & telecoms, etc.) in context (E.g., functional, spatial, temporal, social…)
Vu helps analysts to visual, understand, and explore: Network behaviors Network interdependency behaviors Cascading effects Disruptive and reconstructive events
Vu supports a broad range of objectives including vulnerability analysis, impact analysis, training, reconstruction, stability operations
Visual analytics consist of geospatial, temporal, and logical network graphs
Extensible platform designed to modularly incorporate external domain models, relationship modules and data
Effective in both high and low fidelity data environments
IntePoint is a web enabled interdependency M&S and
analytics for multiple complex networks

What you produce How you work
1. Humans are more important than hardware.
2. Quality is better than quantity.
3. Special Operations Forces cannot be mass produced.
4. Competent Special Operations Forces cannot be created after emergencies occur.
5. Most special operations require non-SOF assistance.
