KBR uses ARDIS to aid federal researchers with en route care and provide its expeditionary medicine program with data analytics and Aeromedical Evacuation Registry enhancements, totaling nearly 300K records over 18 years.
Agile Research and Development Integrated Systems (ARDIS)
KBR created a unique solution suited to bioinformatics and computational biosciences activities called the Agile Research and Development Integrated Systems (ARDIS). ARDIS is a cutting-edge, government-approved cloud infrastructure, built upon Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud. The secure and scalable solution provides a vendor-agnostic and enterprise-level platform offering end-to-end data consumption, rapid application hosting, data science, and ML / AI modeling and simulation support. Programs ARDIS has directly supported include the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Tech Connect, AFRL COVID-19 Dashboard, the Aeromedical Evacuation Registry, and overall airman readiness medical research.
Did You Know?
IMPALA allows users to search and find astronaut health data across over 15 data systems through a single data catalog interface.
Information Management Platform for Analytics and Aggregation (IMPALA)
KBR’s full-stack data analytics platform named Information Management Platform for Analytics and Aggregation (IMPALA) allows for both on-premises utilization and in the AWS GovCloud. IMPALA correlates, aggregates, creates, and shares datasets from multiple data stores for analysis by internal and external scientists and reuses these datasets for future data requests. It provides advanced analytics capabilities to perform data mining, data exploration, and discovery that retain metadata on analyses and uses of the data by all users. IMPALA allows users to search and find astronaut health data across over 15 data systems through a single data catalog interface.
Service Personnel Advancing Research in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (SPARC)
KBR recently joined forces with the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine to support neuroscience research for service members, specifically focusing on those affected by traumatic brain injuries. Research is proudly done in collaboration with Uniformed Services University (the nation's only federal health sciences university) and the University of California San Francisco. Through this endeavor, KBR provides outreach, education and data analytics in support of this critical neuroscience research for the prevention and treatment of military members with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
