According to their website:
WebTAS is a modular software toolset that supports fusion of large amounts of disparate data sets, visualization, project organization and management, pattern analysis and activity prediction, and various presentation aids.
These tools have been successfully used by many Federal and regional government organizations, and is ideally suited to distributed networks and intranets.
WebTAS provides an integrated toolbox to users needing to make sense of large and diverse sets of data. The capabilities bundled in this environment include:
- Bringing together multiple sources of data into common, fused pictures
- Sophisticated visualization components for viewing data
- Ad-HOC query of disparate data
- Trend and pattern detection
- Dynamic web content generation based on these data sources
- Easily configured domain customization
WebTAS History
WebTAS is the result of the evolution of the Temporal Analysis System (TAS) in effort to satisfy user requirements for the U.S. intelligence community. WebTAS was developed by AFRL to assist intelligence analysts with the comprehension of large amounts of information.
The TAS program was first formulated in 1988 in an effort to relieve analysts from time-consuming manual techniques. The goal was to provide intelligence analysts with tools to build and maintain event activity timelines and to observe and discover behaioral patterns via data query and visualization techniques. Once behavioral patterns are identified and modeled, WebTAS can automatically search for data, in near real-time, that matches model or models, and then alert users to these situations of interest. Based on information described in the models, WebTAS can also compute predictions of future activity.
WebTAS functionality has expanded to include more generalized features, including data representation, data access to a variety of diverse data sources, data visualization, easy-to-use user interfaces, web-based functions, extensible and pluggable interfaces, etc. WebTAS is an integration platform that has been used on many other programs.
WebTAS deployment has also expanded drastically. In addition to the intelligence community, WebTAS is now used in command and control, resource planning, drug interdicition, counter-intelligence, counter-terrorism, special operations planning, maritime suveillance, computer network defense, and many other application areas and problem domains.
