Maritime Airborne SOA Integration Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-045 Topic Title: Maritime Airborne SOA Integration Proposal No.: N121-045-0899 Firm: Progeny Systems Corporation 9500 Innovation Drive Manassas, Virginia 20110 Contact: Michael Mark Phone: (703) 368-6107 Web Site: www.progeny.net Abstract: Progeny Systems will apply its expertise in SOA design and implementation, and legacy systems integration, to assess and define a feasible integration system architecture and approach that will permit maritime airborne platforms to provide near-real time dissemination of collected maritime airborne mission data. That architecture and approach will include a strategy for gaining access to legacy "stove-piped" system data and capabilities, selecting standards to which that data will be transformed, identifying infrastructure concepts and components necessary for airborne data dissemination, and bandwidth management techniques applicable to disadvantaged network users. Benefits: Progeny believes there is a huge current and future need for the technologies and techniques proposed for investigation by this SBIR topic. A number of military, tactical and non-tactical systems could certainly employ aspects of this technology solution set resulting in system flexibility, agility for supporting limited bandwidth communications and event driven sensor product discovery; this will most certainly reduce program update and maintenance costs as systems grow and extend. The MH-60 Seahawk is a good example of a platform following the typical PMA-oriented dissemination approach (i.e., collect data, come back, remove mag tape) that could leverage the approach in this SBIR to open up in situ sensor product availability. In general, any sensors information (air or ground-based sensors) that are located in disadvantaged comms locations (like areas where comms disruption attacks are occurring) could benefit to provide disruption-tolerant data dissemination. Similar to the needs in the DoD to have data available from a remote sensor source to those monitoring or acting on the information, the commercial market could take advantage of the discover and fetch propagation of information to provide information dashboards for:  Disease Awareness and Control  Boarder Security  Physical or Electronic Intrusion Detection With respect to the SOA and migration techniques that enable legacy system participation in an open-architecture, many systems exist in industry that contains systems that serve their purpose well but are twenty years in the making. The migration approach and technologies in this SBIR can be applied to any commercial business where agility, controlling maintenance costs, and new technology adoption are key. Return
