• Environment-to-person colaboration communication
• Nodes
• Large Number (100-1000s)
• Sensing Capabilities include Radar, Camera,
  Ground
• Communication, Processing, Memory Capabilities
• Comprehensive Situational Awareness
• Base station - BS
• Common Operating Picture (COP) Stations
• Command Controller (C2)
• Mobile and Stationary COPs

SBINet Network Design Issues

• Power efficiency
• Node life-time
• Network life-time
• Localization
• Range based (Time Of Flight, RSSI etc.)
• Range free (based on anchors with known positions
  and hop count)
• GPS, JTRS, and P25 Radios integrated with C2
  Controllers
• Tower Based Radar and Camera sensorss
• Security
• Secure Positioning, User Authentication, PKI Key
  Encroption
• Data Validation with Role Based Priviledges
• Packaging
• Strong environmental constraints depending on the
  application
• Data Processing

7
Risk Mitigations

• Financial, Operational, and Schedule
• Prototype System using Sensor Simulations
• Reduces Protype Sensor Hardware Costs
• Validates System Interfaces for Next Spiral
• Reduces Development Schedule Time
• Re-use prior system service orientated software
  (SOA) services
• Use Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process to
  track requirement changes

8
Contract Risk Reduction

• Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF) contract
• a base amount fixed at inception of the contract
• an award amount that maybe earned in whole or in
  part during performance.
• The DHS decided on a CPAF contract to provide
  motivation for excellence in the areas including
  quality, timeliness, technical ingenuity, and
  cost effective management
• Use virtual teams at different contractor
  location
• System Engineering at Huntsville, AL
• Software development at Mesa, AZ
• System Testing at Huntington Beach CA

A platform for area monitoring sensors

• Made by Crossbow Technology Inc
• Designed for sensor networks
• Atmel ATMega128 processor
• Chipcon CC1000 radio

• Runs TinyOS from its Flash Memory
• 51-pin connector to interface itself
• Add-on sensor boards provide sensing for
  Temperature, Humidity, etc.

• Open source real-time OS with outstanding
  securiity features
• Libraries includes network protocols
  distributed services
• Support for Service Orientated Architecture
  (SOA)
• Powerful and flexible OS with large community
  support
