2 Executive Summary Network Security System using C amera, Radar, and Ground Sensors Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customer Stakeholders include: – DHS Contractors – DHS Border Agents –Cyberdine Systems Development Team –Location Law Enforcement –Local Government Officials Base stations (BS) for Computer Networks Sensor Towers Sensor Networks joining Area BS and Towers

3 SBINet Sensor Network Overview Ad hoc network (self-organized) Environment-to-person colaboration communication Nodes: –Large Number ( s) –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

4 SBINet Sensor Network Connections sensor aggregator relay {

5 SBINet Sensor Network Applications Possible tasks: Data Gathering: –seismic –acoustic –intelligence Monitoring: –Climate –Equipment –Movement –Security Areas Possible users: -Authorities -Di saster prevention - Security monitoring - Contraband Smuggling - Law enforcement -Scientific community C reate or validate models -Private (home automation) - Vacation Monitoring - Remote Controlling

6 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

9 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. 5

10 The Operating System: Linux 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 6
