Border Security & Immigration

One of the unique strengths that MITRE brings to this arena is our ability to collaborate openly across the company, applying solutions developed for one homeland security mission partner to the challenges faced by others. |
How MITRE Is Helping
- The EDGE: MITRE's
Advanced Technology Newsletter: "Unmanned Systems" Summer 2007 Issue [PDF, 1.1MB]. MITRE experts throughout the company
are working with government agencies to improve unmanned systems technology,
including integrating and disseminating sensor data from unmanned systems;
planning, control, and operations of unmanned systems; and safety and
airspace integration.
- Through
the Eyes of the Enemy: Modeling Adaptive Behavior. A MITRE project
to apply simulation technology to help homeland security agencies think
like smugglers and terrorists in order to outwit them. Screening strategies
and simulations provide insight into the techniques used by criminals
at U.S. borders.
- Transferring
Insights from Complex Biological Systems to the Exploitation of Netted
Sensors in Command and Control Enterprises. Addresses the systems
engineering challenge of fusing data from a network of sensors (netted
sensors). Fusion algorithms can combine data from heterogeneous sensors
to help identify Force Protection and Border Security threats.
- Netted Sensors for Persistent
Surveillance [PDF, 315KB]. Research effort addresses
the challenge of providing a new level of sensor network control to
improve scalability, adaptivity, controllability, and flexibility.
- Uncommon
Sensors May Help Secure Our Ports and Borders. This initiative
uses modeling and simulation of automatic sensing technology to detect
illicit materials entering the U.S. at ports and border crossings.
- Sensor Technologies
for Border and Cargo Security [PDF, 205KB]. Research project that explores the use of modeling and simulation
in developing concepts for a multi-sensor system to detect, screen,
and intercept chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive
(CBRNE) materials, weapons, narcotics, and contraband at U.S. ports
of entry.
