Chesapeake Technology International, Corp. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: Chesapeake Technology International"s (CTI"s) proposed solution for the Tripwire

Description

Chesapeake Technology International"s (CTI"s) proposed solution for the Tripwires for PEO C4I Systems is the development of a system of active and passive monitors that will provide status on PMW-120 systems with no modification to existing equipment or installations. While a number of general monitors will be developed, custom monitors may be required for specific systems based on their capabilities, operations, and interfaces. This does not mean that existing systems need to be tailored in any way as the CTI-developed monitors will extract the required information without this type of modification. In addition to the monitors and monitoring architecture, CTI will include analytics, redundancy, false positive/negative mitigations, and"monitor monitors"to ensure that the monitoring infrastructure is predictive, reliable, and dependable. The proposed solution will be able to monitor and assess a variety of PMW-120 systems including signals intelligence, imagery, full motion video, and other types of sensors and sensor arrays/networks, intelligence processing systems and networks, and oceanographic and meteorological sensors and systems. CTI"s Phase 1 effort will result in an assessment of the overall approach, identification of active and passive monitoring approaches, definition of the relevant open standards and architectures, and development of a representative monitor, analytic, and application.
