The work proposed under AF071-084 will investigate a new method and technology for solving the problems of situation awareness, cyber impact assessment, and attacker prediction. The new technology is couched in the Situation Management paradigm and is a variation of the case-based reasoning method… More

The objective of the research is to produce a technology that will effectively automate the processes of recognizing security threats to BMDS under the conditions of unpredictable dynamic situations and the periods of heightened alerts. Our method will provide human operators with results in the… More

The goal of this effort is to develop technologies enabling situational awareness for large-scale cyber network defense, assessing the impact of adversarial action against a network, and predicting future adversary attack strategy. Based on Phase I, we plan to develop, implement, and validate a… More

The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) requires a method for a distributed, near real-time, security management system that provides comprehensive situational awareness of the Information Assurance state of the BMDS and its components. Altusys has de

This proposal details an ambitious effort to develop Hybrid Phishing Protection System (HPPS). HPPS is a novel heuristics-based protection system that employs three lines of defenses to provide automatic, high-accuracy, and low-latency phishing identifica

This proposal details an ambitious effort to develop Smart Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (SHIDS). The SHIDS supports self-healing, self-monitoring, self-diagnosing, self-hardening, and self-recovering network architecture after corruption by an attack by automatically creating malware… More

The methods that has been historically developed and fielded for alarm and fault management in traditional communications networks do not provide adequate operational assurance for complex ad hoc tactical networks, especially for unskilled and inadequately trained operational personnel. Work on… More

ABSTRACT: This proposal details an ambitious effort to develop Virtualization-based secure application Containers and Controlled Communication System (VC3S). The VC3S provides secure application/module isolation, mediation of inter-application/module communication, as well as dynamic/intelligent… More

Altusys will develop an analytical tool to enable Marines or Soldiers at the company or lower level to assess local economic conditions and develop courses of action to impact the economy. Presuming that rapid re-employment of the host-country civilian labor force and rapid repair of the… More

One of the key goals of strengthening maritime security is to increase maritime domain awareness, involving a combination of intelligence, surveillance, and operational information to build as complete a picture as possible to assess the threats and vulnerabilities in the maritime realm. Maintaining… More

Junior infantry need usable tools and methods for collecting and interpreting significant information about the local economic environment through observation and questioning, and for developing daily tactical courses of action based on those interpretations. Altusys will lead a multidisciplinary… More
