Today, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) is popularly deployed in automated control system of many of the Nation¿s critical infrastructures. Most of these systems were designed and built for operational efficiency. With cyber attack becoming an important factor, it is becoming essential to protect SCADA systems. Over the past couple of years industry is integrating many security fe ...

Pharad proposes to design a cost effective portable electromagnetic concealed weapons detection system that can be readily installed in a public areas, without interrupting the flow of human traffic. The system uses complex resonances for the identification of known targets, providing significant cost and size benefits over conventional imaging approaches. Our solution will be able to accurately d ...

Pharad proposes the design of a low cost Class B Basic AIS device that will be compliant with IEC 62287 testing requirements. Such a low cost AIS device is key to the wide scale deployment of AIS in vessels operating in US waters. Our innovative approach to achieving a commercially ready, low cost device employs components and manufacturing processes found in consumer electronics sold in national ...

This document proposes development of PURSUIT, a cross-domain intrusion detection system that relies upon state-of-the-art privacy-preserving distributed data-mining (PPDM) technology. PURSUIT has a distributed multi-agent architecture that supports formation of ad-hoc peer-to-peer, hierarchical, and other collaborative coalitions with due attention to the security and privacy issues. It will be e ...

Pharad LLC proposes to design and develop a fully automated marine asset tracking system that incorporates active ¿smart¿ Container Tags and a wireless communication network for precise container position location and monitoring. Such a system is vital for securing maritime cargo shipments and protecting US sea borders. Pharad¿s container tracking system will feature a location precision ...

The goal of this research is to extend TMODS (Terrorist Modus Operandi Detection System), that has been funded by DARPA¿s EELD (Evidence Extraction and Link Discovery) and Genoa 2, and TIA programs. TMODS uses terrorist network analysis (TNA) to build the representation for abnormal social networks indicative of terrorist or illicit network-centric cells and searches for these patterns in huge po ...
