Smart Push, Smart Pull, Sensor to Shooter in a Multi-Level Secure/Safe (MLS) Infrastructure

Joseph M. Jacob. Senior Vice President, Objective Interface Systems Inc

An unmanned drone flies overhead with multiple sensors collecting as many as100 frames per second of high definition TV images to be processed.  Much of  that data has to be processed onboard as that volume of data, collectively from a swarm of drones, cannot be transmitted to the ground.  The drone detects, after much processing, several threats.  The drone identifies 
the type of threat and its geo-location and performs a smart push to a threat data base that is being monitored by coalition forces involving land, air and sea forces.  A Future Combat System (FCS) tank is in the vicinity. 

It performs a smart pull of the individual frames from which the threat was identified.  The FCS tank performs additional computation and fuses data from multiple sensors, via multiple Smart Pulls, to confirm the threat. This presentation shows how the MILS Architecture can be used to architect
security solutions, including ad-hoc networks, for the sensors, radios, routers, Cross Domain Servers, Web Servers and MILS/MLS Workstations that will need to work in unison on the network battlefield to provide a secure solution to the painted scenario
