SECURBORATION, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF151-048

Description

ABSTRACT:Ubiquitous networked sensors and big data computing techniques have the potential to establish geographically distributed teams and a virtual "remote presence" essential to accurate understanding of the situation. However, to date that potential has not been reached. To address this gap, Securboration proposes to develop the Joint Collaborative Augmentation for Sensemaking Environment or JCAUSE. The Team brings a multi-disciplinary approach to develop a collaborative, immersive environment, based on the collaborative sensemaking principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Team applies this to analyzing data with respect to ongoing synchronized joint operations in which none of multiple individuals can fully comprehend the impact of a sudden event on an ongoing or scheduled mission by themselves. While our approach in the Phase I targets sudden network events, JCAUSE accounts for the fact that these occur within the context of broader joint cyber, air, and space operations and have cascading impacts.BENEFIT:The benefit of JCAUSE is the viewing of the responses of each mission resource to an individual cyberattacks. JCAUSE would enable every user viewing the cyberattack to determine overall performance of an individual resources. The ability to provide the operator a deeper understanding of how cyber events are impacting mission operation is required by every major corporation to ensure essential work can continue without shutting down operations.
