- Description
- Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative Electronic Systems Center Workshop The Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI) will conduct a workshop July 14-15, 2010 in the Hanscom Air Force Base, MA area to help discover emerging technologies relevant to the United States Air Force's Electronic Systems Center (ESC). The workshop will provide selected innovative companies who do not normally conduct business with the Department of Defense with an opportunity to make short presentations to DoD representatives about their technologies and products. DeVenCI is looking for companies who have potential solutions in the following areas: ---- Improved C2 of ISR (Command and Control of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) 1. Multimodal data aggregation, organization, analysis, and visualization tools 2. Improved tools for person/person, person/sensor, and sensor/sensor collaboration 3. Decision support and optimization tools 4. Sensor processing, analysis, and workflow tools 5. Complex event processing tools 6. Data pattern recognition tools 7. Mobile Device applications for tasking and control 8. Tools to increase the flow of data in real or near real time 9. Video exploitation software -- Scalable database replication and synchronization 1. Tools for command and control of data services a. Potentially terabytes per day with potential bandwidth constraints and high latency b. Globally or regionally distributed nodes (hundreds) 2. System performance monitoring and near real time tasking a. Times range from sub-second transactions to multi-day cycles b. Sizes range from 1KB to multiple terabytes (full motion video) -- Referential integrity via web services 1. Leverage web services to ensure referential integrity across distributed data models stored in physically separate, and geographically remote, database instances a. Focus is on data integrity rather than performance over vast geographical distances -- Web services scalable security infrastructure 1. Tools to provide message-level security between web based services (for example SOAP, Restful, RSS/Atom) -- User defined workflows 1. Tools to create, execute, and maintain user created workflows in response to changing or ad-hoc tasking a. Scope includes multi-party and multi-step workflows b. Workflows developed by the user, not software or system developers -- Near real-time object collision risk assessments 1. Tools to provide near real time processing a. Screen thousands of objects against tens-of-thousands of objects -- Debris modeling 1. Tools to characterize and visualize debris clouds prior to sensing inputs 2. Risk analysis - Probability analysis tools -- Multi-source data fusion and analysis 1. Multi-source data fusion analysis tools 2. Machine learning tools -- Exercise, test, and training 1. Technologies that allow testing and training on operational systems without interrupting operations -- Web application security 1. Software to identify and correct application vulnerabilities -- Synchronization of data in disconnected, intermittent, and limited environments 1. Automated updates in a disconnected/limited connection environment 2. Identification and authentication tools for mobile devices a. Government representative b. Contractor entity 3. Application level management technologies 4. Business Intelligence tools for mobile devices 5. Contracting tools for mobile devices -- Digital fiber for airborne SATCOM modem and antenna groups 1. Digital fiber switching and reformatting technologies a. Data rates in excess of 50Gbps -- Security guard engine platform 1. Advanced components to develop next generation of multi-level or cross domain security guards 2. Filter technologies based on content, format, and source -- Advanced displays for airborne platforms 1. Chat a. Advanced chat technology b. Ability to drag and drop chat content into other applications c. What is after chat? 2. Advanced lightweight displays to increase operator capabilities and flexibility while decreasing size, weight, and power requirements 3. Advanced dashboard technologies 4. Collaboration tools to share or merge displays or individual display layers 5. Wearable displays -- Wireless communications for airborne platforms 1. Advanced wireless communications for both air crew and ground support personnel 2. Intelligent switching of both internal voice intercom and external radio communications -- Tracking vehicles, pedestrians or animals using remote sensing 1. Software to assist with detection, identification, tracking, and prediction of behavior a. RF sensors b. Track vehicles in medium density clutter environments c. Distinguish between people, animals and foliage in low-density clutter environments -- Advanced airborne IP networking 1. Advanced components, specifically multiplexers to enable mesh or ring network topologies between airborne platforms -- Efficient use of communication satellites 1. HAIPE friendly SATCOM improvements 2. Bandwidth friendly VOIP for SATCOM ---- DeVenCI is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) activity whose dual goals are to speed DoD adoption of promising new commercial technologies and to encourage broader commercial support of the DoD supply chain. DeVenCI uses workshops, technical expositions, industry outreach, and a publicly available web portal (http://devenci.dtic.mil/) to increase the visibility of DoD needs to commercial companies and technology area experts. It provides timely information to DoD users about emerging technical innovations and pilot opportunities. DeVenCI is a catalyst initiative that does not fund the development of new technologies or businesses. Instead, it focuses on knowledge brokering by encouraging and facilitating the sharing of information to speed application of emerging technology solutions to DoD user needs. Companies interested in applying for participation in this workshop should contact DeVenCI via e-mail at devenci@osd.mil for an application. Completed applications must be received on or before May 19, 2010. Selected companies will be responsible for their travel and all other expenses associated with participation in this workshop, which will be held July 14-15, 2010.
