The CyberSecurity and Emergency Preparedness Institute
has a world-class research team with a proven track record. This world-class
research team has the experience, the desire and the initiative to help secure
our homeland.
- The Institute will develop advanced technologies to assist
emergency response teams and protect the nation’s critical communication and
information infrastructures.
- The key to emergency response and counter-terrorist
activities is the ability to rapidly deploy highly secure information and
communication technologies.
Highly Secure, Rapidly Deployable,
Rapidly Configurable Networks – The Institute will perform innovative
network architecture development and prototyping at all levels (hardware,
firmware, middleware, and software) to build highly secure, rapidly deployable,
rapidly reconfigurable networks that are also highly fault-tolerant. The design
will be highly modular, highly scalable, will use COTS/GOTS components for fast
development, and will be optimal for crisis prevention and emergency response.
Sensor Networks – Advanced
Sensor Networks are vital to surveillance in counter-terrorist and
crime-fighting missions. The Institute will design, develop, and demonstrate a
large scale advanced Sensor Network. Innovative R&D works include the
development of new network control algorithms and protocols, novel sensors, and
sensor platforms. The demonstrator will prove the effectiveness of the
technologies developed and will be used to measure the actual system performance
under different environments.
