- Description
- Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative CERDEC Workshop The Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI) will conduct a workshop in mid January 2010 in the Fort Monmouth, NJ area to help discover emerging technologies relevant to the United States Army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC). 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: Antennas Diverse form, fit & function needs •Conformal/low profile to reduce visual signatures •Multi-purpose antennas for SATCOM/terrestrial, Single-band/multi-band needs (tunable with optical waveguides) •Fixed/mobile/moving with emphasis of "On The Move" for both vehicles and dismounted troops •Nanotechnology and metamaterials to fundamentally change the form & function of antennas Components RF power amplifiers •Increased efficiency > 15% •Increased BW (2 MHz – 2 GHz on a single device) Filters •Increased dynamic range, bandwidth, efficiency and power levels •Cognitive radios and multiband transceivers requirements are particularly stressing Software/firmware •Improved FPGA development tools •Serial code to parallel code converters and vice-a-versa •Automated code analysis •Over-the-air upgrade deployment •Easier migration from DSP to FPGA •Advanced signal processing •Waveform processors implemented in both FPGA and DSP based •In-band interference mitigation/cancellation Analog to digital converters/combiners/attenuators •Broadband and/or frequency > 3 GHz Encryption •Both data-at-rest and on-the-move Improved batteries/power sources •Fast charging •Energy scavenging •Higher power density •Higher efficiency •Lightweight components including batteries Networks Flexibility •Rapid setup and reconfiguration (hours not months) for both small and large scale networks •Rate of change fundamentally different from commercial operations •Intuitive, simplified user controls and user interfaces •Bandwidth efficient communications for both voice and data •User customizable capabilities, tailored to individual soldier, mission and environment •Distillation of high level policy/directives down to device level configuration •Near real-time network fault analysis •Intelligent message/traffic filtering and forwarding based on multiple criteria (origin/destination pairing, content analysis, QOS/SLA) •Tuned response to changing situation, threats or attack •Adaptable to diverse, mobile, multipath environments Cognitive networks and radios •Intelligent, learning, adaptable, resilient, power efficient •Fixed/mobile, ad hoc, radio-radio •Improved optimization and interoperability •Support both voice and data under field conditions •Dynamic management and surveillance •Common, low cost, hardware platform augmented by government policy and security overlays Infrastructure •Visual analysis of policy, rules, configuration and topology •Improved server virtualization deployment and monitoring •Modeling and simulation of changes prior to deployment •Intelligent firewalls •Agent based IDS •Secure remote management Security services •Protect data-at-rest and on-the-move •Deception-aware software assurance tools •PKI for a mobile, perhaps dismounted, tactical environment •Three-component authentication for soldier in battle gear/armor Efficient spectrum management •Dynamic spectrum assignment and utilization •Spectrum monitoring and characterization to identify users as friend, foe or neutral •Spectrum and network monitoring to shape traffic based on content and/or operational criticality 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 publically 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 adoption 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. All applications must be received on or before October 22, 2009. Selected companies will be responsible for their travel and all other expenses associated with participation in this workshop which will be held in the January timeframe.
