Imagine One Technology & Management has been awarded a $19.2 million research contract for the Navy’s Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) program.

Under the Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract, Imagine One will provide an “intelligent data mining agent and smart decision support process” for CANES, according to the Department of Defense contract announcement. This process includes “dynamic planning, re-planning and automation of test procedures, prioritization and optimization fixes based on component dependencies and potential impacts related to configuration changes, machine assisted analysis and learning during verification against design and assisted extrapolation of technical changes into all related technical documentation.”

The five-year contract is expected to be completed by February 2020.
