  • Publication number: 20140059692
    Abstract: A computer system and method for automated export of classified flight data. The computer system can include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory can store software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving, in a classified security domain, a request for a dataset to be transmitted to an unclassified transponder device. A first subset and a second subset of the requested dataset can be determined such that the first subset contains classified data and the second subset contains unclassified data. An unclassified version of the first subset can be calculated by redacting non-geographic position (GPS) data and calculating a lower precision GPS value for GPS data. The unclassified version of the first subset can be combined with the unclassified second subset to create a downgraded dataset that can be transmitted to the transponder device.

  • Publication number: 20070286311
    Abstract: A communications system comprising a channelized receiver is provided. In some embodiments, the system extends the capabilities of the channelized receiver, enabling the system to perform electronic surveillance monitoring (ESM) or relay functions. As such, the system may be employed to receive, process and provide information to downstream devices. In some embodiments, the system provides wideband communications capability. The system may also include a programmable demodulator for extracting communications data from incoming signals.

  • Publication number: 20070169196
    Abstract: Security policy manager devices are leveraged by manager objects to use highly secure user transparent communications to provide detection of questionable activities at every node, automatic collection of information related to any potential attack, isolation of the offending object with arbitrary flexibility of response (e.g. flexibly determining the level of certainty of an attack for initiation of a response in accordance with the number of nodes to be partitioned that is determined by the collected data concerning the potential attack), changing trust relationships between security domains, limiting the attack and launching offensive information warfare capabilities (e.g. outbound from the compromised node while limiting or eliminating inbound communications) in log time and simultaneously and/or concurrently in different but possibly overlapping sections or segments of a digital network of arbitrary configuration.

  • Publication number: 20070032920
    Abstract: A system ensures safety and security of teams of collaborative autonomous unmanned vehicles in executing a mission plan. The system includes a plurality of components, a first device, a second device, and a third device. The plurality of components perform situation analysis, mission planning, mission replanning, mission plan execution, and collaboration between the autonomous unmanned vehicles. The first device identifies safety critical components of the plurality of components. The second device identifies security sensitive components of the plurality of components. The third device isolates the safety critical components from contamination by other components of the plurality of components. The third device isolates security sensitive data from contaminating non-security sensitive components of the plurality of components.

  • Publication number: 20070016554
    Abstract: A hardware accelerated validation parser is provided to remove a large portion if not all of the processing and overhead burden of validation parsing from a host processor by parallel access to both a state table and a data dictionary based on a token and merging and selective redirection of the respective outputs thereof; a portion of a transition control word (TCW) formed by the merged data being used to advance through the state table and a portion of the TCW being used to control formation of a tree structured data object (TSDO) corresponding to a text document in a language such as XML™ which supports interoperability and platform independence. A stack is provided to accommodate nesting of elements and aggregate elements. The formation of the TSDO can be and preferably is performed asynchronously and autonomously in parallel with the validation parsing.
