- Description
- Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) seeks industry partners to bring the security analysis methodologies developed by Sandia to market readiness and deployment in a single software package available internationally. This physical security analysis package has numerous applications. Examples include but are not limited to: (1) nuclear power plant security, (2) protection of high value assets, (3) homeland security/counter-terrorism, (4) critical infrastructure protection, (5) material control and accounting (MC&S), (6) insider analysis as well as (7) training across these domains. Description of Technology: A need exists for a commercially exportable, user-friendly security analysis tool that can readily be obtained, used, and modified by international and domestic customers across a wide range of security analysis domains. Sandia seeks to create a software tool that can be modified by international end-users (features an open SDK) and that does not require significant involvement of the software developer or publisher to meet end-user needs. End users should be able to complete analysis projects after receiving basic training on the software package. The tool should be traceable and customizable meaning that results are easily connected to simulation inputs such that anomalies can be detected with ease. This tool should use industry standard data formats for terrain generation, model creation, and simulation execution. Furthermore, it should have the flexibility to model a wide range of security applications. The commercial partner and Sandia National Laboratories will collaborate in the development of a "Commercial-Off-the-Shelf" (COTS) security analysis software product that is usable "out-of-the-box" by both international and domestic customers. The result of this CRADA will be a security analysis software tool that requires no modification to be useful, is extendable by the customer, and requires minimal basic training to be fully utilized. Sandia seeks to transfer technology for the benefit of the United States industry. Qualified partners will contribute resources including in-kind support in the form of programmers and code. Partners will have the option to obtain up to and including an exclusive license to Sandia's CRADA-generated intellectual property. Sandia will evaluate responses and select prospective parties with which to engage in further discussions based on the following criteria, pursuant to Sandia's technology transfer mission: 1.What are the respondent's specific experience, expertise, and capabilities in research and development, testing, implementation, maintenance and support relative to modeling and simulation software? 2.What are the respondent's experience, expertise, and capabilities relative to domestic and international software distribution? 3.How customizable is the software solution by the domestic and international end user? 4.How will the respondent deploy the technology for the benefit of national security and the US public good? 5.How will the respondent's deployment of the technology benefit US economic competitiveness? It is desired that the respondent have security simulation experience and background knowledge of physical security simulation. An in-kind investment is required. Sandia National Laboratories is a multiprogram laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. SAND# 2016-6295 PR Instructions to Responders Interested parties that meet the criteria outlined above are invited to respond to this opportunity announcement. Responses should be emailed to Susan Washburn at swashbu@sandia.gov and should include the opportunity title and submitting organization's name in the subject line. Responses should be a maximum of 15 pages in length and will only be accepted in.doc,.docx and.pdf formats. Keywords: software, security analysis, modeling, simulation
