Trusted Situational Awareness

(TSA)

Ohio Third Frontier• TSA was funded under the Innovation

Platform Program of the Ohio Third Frontier (OTF) Project– Program to build on established investments

– in this case IDCAST, a Wright Center of Innovation for advanced sensor technology

• $3 million to the TSA Team led by UDRI– Woolpert, City of Dayton, Tenet 3, Greenlight

Optical, and Optica Consulting– $3 million of project related Cost Share

TSA June 2013 4

What is the TSA Program?• Provides a systems approach for wide area

security applications• Provides a common visualization platform for

suites of sensor inputs• Provides for a way to test and evaluate sensors

and situational awareness products from small, medium, and large companies

• Provides for the ability to test and evaluate cyber products from small to large companies

• Provides for feedback on product performance based on use in a operational environment.

What is TSA? June 2013 5

Why have the TSA Program?• Safety and security needs are looking for

system solutions, versus a collection of individual devices– Sec Def Gates – April 2011 – Data to Decisions

• Also needs to be Trusted– Cyber validated to be authentic, accurate, resilient

• There is an industry need for a place to evaluate and demonstrate potential situational awareness and cyber solutions

• This place needs to be accessible to all companies, whether small, medium, or large

Why TSA? June 2013 6

TSA – Program Description• $3 million of funding and $3 million of cost

share to create a $6 million project• 3 year program• TSA will create 32 jobs in 3 years and 46 jobs

within 5 years• TSA provides an efficient and highly effective

intuitive interface system – ease of use• TSA will provide an affordable situational

awareness solutions through the use of the Tilton Engineering Systems/Woolpert product call United Views

TSA Description June 2013 7

TSA – Program Description• TSA will utilize plug and play technologies• TSA will provide a test bed that small to large

companies and universities will have access to for testing and evaluation of their sensor and situational awareness technologies

• TSA will provide a test bed that small to large companies and universities will have access to for testing and evaluation of their cyber technologies

• TSA, and all of the incorporated technologies, will be utilized by the Dayton City Police, whom will provide feedback on the effectiveness of the technologies

TSA Description June 2013 8

Outcomes of TSA• TSA will create 32 jobs in 3 years and 46 jobs

within 5 years• TSA will be used to demonstrate situational

awareness and cyber technologies to potential customers for the system

• TSA will be attract companies to Dayton that want to have their technology evaluated, operationally tested, and then included in demonstrations to potential companies– Very important for small/medium companies

TSA Outcomes June 2013 9

Outcomes of TSA• TSA will help Woolpert to become a major supplier of

situational awareness solutions for emergency management, first responders, and law enforcement

• TSA will help Greenlight Optics develop affordable telescopic optics for sensing

• TSA will help Optica Consulting expand their data mapping technologies to customers beyond the region

• TSA will provide Tenet 3 one of the nation’s only cyber test beds for developing, testing, and demonstrating cyber solutions for sensing and data networks

TSA Outcomes June 2013 10

Outcomes of TSA• TSA provide the Dayton Police Department access

to technologies that can improve the effectiveness of executing the enforcement of the law

• TSA will provide $3.4 million of sales for Ohio companies and investments of $900,000

• TSA will provide a formalized internship program in sensing, situational awareness and cyber involving IDCAST Universities and the 16 distinguished scientist and endowed chairs we have been able to attract, all within one hour of Wright Patterson Air Force Base

• TSA provides IDCAST sustainability

TSA Outcomes June 2013 11

Outcomes of TSA• But most of all

TSA provide an opportunity for you!

TSA Outcomes June 2013 12
