Homeland Security

Overview

As the scope of America's Homeland Security mission has expanded, so has the need for greater connectivity and an integrated approach across multiple mission partners and domains. In response to this need, MITRE is conducting research to enable cross-cutting support for the overall success of key Homeland Security mission areas: Border Security and Immigration; Information Sharing; Protection of Critical Infrastructure; Screening and Credentialing; Preparedness, Response, and Recovery; Management Transformation; Mission Assurance; Intelligence Analysis, and Biosecurity.

Examples of projects related to this challenge area include:

• A Secure Biotoken for Border Management
• Anonymized Target List Expansion for Name Vetting
• Bio-Threat Aircraft Warning System
• Closed Loop Link Mining of Textual Data
• Common Ground Agile Information Sharing
• Data Discovery Using Digests
• Identity Matching Lab
• IM-PLUS: Information Management with Privacy, Lineage, Uncertainty, and Security
• Method for Prioritizing Suspicious Behavior
• Miniaturized Hybrid Sensor for Multiple Threat Detection
• Natural Language Processing for Anonymization
• Pervasive Personal Navigation
• Protected Sharing of Controlled Information
• Risk Model for Dynamic Aviation Security
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Performance Measures Expression in Performance-Based Service Acquisition (PBSA) Vehicles
• The 3x2 Fingerprint Challenge
