Leesburg, VA – August 11, 2025 — Mosaic ATM has been selected for a U.S. Navy Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to develop Track Nexus, an advanced capability to improve real-time track data synchronization within the AEGIS Combat System (ACS).
The ACS integrates multiple sensors, weapons, and data links to provide a unified operational picture for surface warfare. However, track desynchronization can lead to false, duplicate, or outdated tracks, reducing situational awareness and operational efficiency. Track Nexus will address this challenge by introducing AI/ML-enhanced correlation algorithms and advanced data fusion techniques to ensure consistent, accurate track information across all ACS components.
Built on Mosaic’s Real-Time Simulation Agent (RTS) architecture, Track Nexus will:
- Merge duplicates, split multi-object tracks, and filter false tracks in real time
- Improve message throughput by at least 10%
- Integrate seamlessly into existing and future AEGIS baselines via a modular microservices architecture
Testing in Phase I will use representative FAA and Coast Guard data, with classified validation planned for later phases at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWC).
“This effort builds directly on our proven track fusion and anomaly detection work for both the Navy and FAA,” said Dr. Keith Rudd, Principal Investigator for the project. “By combining AI, machine learning, and advanced data fusion, we’re delivering a scalable, reliable solution to enhance fleet readiness.”
The Track Nexus team includes John DiFelici and retired Navy Captain Jim Gardner, bringing deep technical and operational expertise. NSWC has expressed strong interest in the project’s ability to improve radar performance and reject false tracks in critical missions, including ballistic missile defense.
Beyond Navy applications, Track Nexus has potential in civil aviation, maritime logistics, autonomous vehicles, and smart city systems—any domain requiring high-integrity, real-time data synchronization.
