01-27-2008  Fayetteville, N.C. - The Defense & Security Technology Accelerator (DSTA) has been invited to participate in a technical exposition with the Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities (TUTC) , a subcommittee, of The House Armed Services Committee. The purpose of this exposition is to provide Committee members with an operational perspective from the warfighting community on the bandwidth constraints of day-to-day operations, and to provide perspectives on the needs and requirements for the future.
The Bandwith Challenges for the 21st Century on January 29, 2008 at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. is where DSTA will be amongst a group of privileged invitees from across the United States, to include The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Air Force Research Lab. Committee Members use this opportunity to interact with these industry leaders involved with the development of technical solutions to address this growing challenge.
“We are excited to be chosen, as an industry expert, to bring this knowledge and expertise for the members of the House Armed Services Committee. This event reinforces the continued success of DSTA as one of the epicenters for research and development for the defense industry.” Scott Perry, Executive Director, DSTA.
DSTA provides collaborative research and development efforts by providing relationships with technology experts from North Carolina State University, Fayetteville State University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, ultimately fulfilling the needs and requirements of issues discussed with the TUTC.
The Department of Defense (DoD) is facing a series of factors constraining future military bandwidth. One concern is the dependency on the vast quantity and types of data that are required for computing, communication, command and control, intelligence and surveillance. These different types of data are collected from a variety of different sources and sensor types. They usually rely on different data transfer protocols that can affect the size of files and therefore affect the amount of bandwidth needed to move these files. Finding a solution to these constraints will be an important challenge facing the DoD and Congress in the upcoming fiscal year.
