y any measure, 2011 was a tumultuous year.

From natural disasters at home and abroad, to

the drawdown in Iraq and continuing opera-

tions in Afghanistan, to unrest in Africa and

the Middle East, to a global nancial crisis that showsfew signs of abating, our national leaders have faced

exceptional challenges.

And 2012 promises to be equally challenging. Protect-

ing the security of our nation has become an increas-

ingly complex issue. Once the exclusive purview of the

traditional defense and intelligence disciplines, today it

encompasses far more. Our future depends not only on

our ability to defend our countrys borders and national

interests, but also on our ability to secure the health and

welfare of its citizens. We must maintain a stable econo-my fueled by the secure and efcient collection of taxes;

we must guarantee the safe and effective movement

of people and goods within and across our borders; we

must protect our critical infrastructures from debilitat-

ing cyber attacks; and we must improve our fragmented

healthcare system.

Furthermore, all of these challenges must be addressed

in an environment characterized by signicant budget

constraints. We understand that reducing the cost of

acquisitions, operations, and systems will be a crucial

component of future success. We strive to deliver high-

impact solutions, based on scientic and engineering

excellence. The FFRDCs that we operate are well posi-

tioned to deliver transformational capabilitiessolu-

tions that provide orders of magnitude improvements

in efciency, effectiveness, and affordability. Within

each of the federally funded research and development

centers we operate for our government sponsors, we

have renewed our commitment to partner with them to

achieve these objectivesand we made good progress

in 2011.

For example, our multistatic radar solution offersgreatly improved accuracy for identifying ground-based

targets with a smaller footprint and signicantly lower

costs compared to conventional radar. We made sub-

stantive contributions to a program that will help save

the Army approximately $1.5 billion when it equips its

combat teams with new radios. We are working to tie

disparate networks together and close the information

gap to make signicant improvements to command,

control, communications, situational awareness, and

targeting effectiveness. Our ngerprint matching solu-

tion for homeland security promises to reduce costs bya factor of 1,000 while increasing processing speed from

minutes to seconds.

In the critical cybersecurity arena, MITRE is offering

ideas that will help government agencies carry out their

missions when cyber attacks compromise vital systems.

Together with Mass Insight Global Partnerships, we

created the rst cross-sector consortium in the nation

devoted to tackling the complexities of cybersecurity

through regional collaboration. MITRE is also help-

ing DHS to further discussion and consensus buildingacross government agencies on adoption of cybersecu-

rity best practices, standards, and technologies.

Recognizing that the Federal Aviation Administration

cannot shut down the national airspace to test new

technology, MITRE created an experimentation envi-

ronment that allows researchers and stakeholders to see

how changing one part of the national airspace system

would affect the whole and has hosted hundreds of

demonstrations, evaluations, and experiments. We have

virtualized the environment to enable agencies to test

their collaborative responses to emergencies from their

own ofces without the expense of bringing everyone

to the same location. We also helped develop and dem-

onstrate a system that can be implemented quickly and

efciently to pave the way for safe unmanned aircraft

systems operations in the national airspace.

From the Presidentand the Chairmanof the Board

We are helping the Internal Revenue Service manage

the impact of last-minute tax law changes as well as the

many information technology initiatives scheduled for2012. We are working with the Department of Veterans

Affairs on a system solution to reduce veteran homeless-

ness and with the IRS and the Department of Health and

Human Services to launch the Affordable Care Act. Two

of the products of our healthcare work, popHealth and

hData, are moving forward as accepted standards.

Through our internal research program, we work to

anticipate the future and bring about transformational

results. Our collaboration with Harvard University

resulted in the rst programmable nanoprocessor.Through what we call the MITRE Challenge, we are

catalyzing worldwide collaboration. The rst challenge

focused on identity matching, a capability important

to many of our sponsors. Our research into strategies

to rapidly create essential system capabilities in

on-demand situations promises to speed the design,

acquisition, and deployment of command and control

technology by using available Web-based and mobile

applications.

We take great pride in our work and are gratied by rec-

ognition of our accomplishments. This year Information

Weekranked us as one of the most innovative users of

business technology. Our partner-accessible social net-

work, Handshake, won an Intranet Innovation Award,

and our exceptional knowledge management and shar-

ing practices again placed us among the top 10 knowl-

edge management organiza-

tions in North America. We

continue to be recognized

as a best place to work by

Computerworld, the Boston

Globe, and Glassdoor.com.

We are ably aided in our

efforts by our trustees, who

provide invaluable guid-

ance and direction, offering

insights into how we might

best help government meet

the challenges it faces. This

year we say goodbye to two

retiring trustees, Dr. William Happer and Mr. William

Mitchell. We thank them for their service and wish

them well in their future endeavors.

For over 50 years, in good economic times and bad,

we have found ways to deliver the transformational

mission solutions our sponsors expect from us. We are

poised to do the same in the coming years and will

work closely with our sponsors to ensure their

continued success.

Bistatic/Multistatic Radar

Moving fromRevolutionary Concept toOperational Viability

M

ITRE has a long his-

tory of advancing

radar technology, most

recently with the practi-cal demonstration of a bistatic/multi-

static ground-moving target indications

(GMTI) radar congurationa previ-

ously recognized concept that, to date,

had not seen operational application

due to several technical obstacles. Our

researchers showed how certain signal

processing algorithms, paired with the

right hardware, enable a new class of

lightweight GMTI radars for a variety of

operational environments. Besides thesmaller size and potentially lower cost

compared to conventional radar

approaches, the prototype offers im-

proved accuracy for identifying ground-

based moving targets.

The bistatic/multistatic work began

within the MITRE-funded research

program, with hardware built at our

in-house prototyping facility. As the

work matured, we began transitioning

the technology to our customer base.

An immediate operational application

was identied through discussions

with the Joint Improvised Explosive

Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO)

in support of their counter-IED

mission. JIEDDO procured funding forprototype development, designating

it the Bistatics Surveillance System

(BSS). With our assistance, initial BSS

prototypes were deployed in a tower-

mounted conguration in Afghanistan,

supporting daily Army operations.

Because of growing interest in the

systems capabilities, we are now

developing additional applications

of the technology and supporting

JIEDDO in the technical transition of

BSS (including designs, specications,

reference implementations and

prototypes, documentation, and

performance-test-evaluation results) to

the Army for potential production and

procurement.

The military relies on ast-moving inormation, accurate datacollection and analysis, and wide-ranging communications tocomplete its mission. Working with our sponsors, MITRE developstechnology that brings new capabilities to the warghter. We arealso conronting the increase in threats to our nations computernetworks by seeking innovative ways to defect and recover romcyber attacks. Three goals guide our work: dramatic perormanceimprovements, reduced system costs, and accelerated delivery tothe eld.

Full Motion Video Processing

A Practical Demonstrationof Precision Geolocation

Determining the precise

location of a ground object

from an unmanned aircrafts

video requires expert analysis

to compare still images from

the FMV (full motion video)

to reference imagery. Analysts

must select multiple corresponding points to match the

images with the location. This not only takes time, but

users may lack access to the required reference imagery,

making it harder to take immediate action.

MITREs FMV processing research resolves many of

these issues. It uses machine-vision technology to

localize ground objects with high accuracy in real time.

Because the machine-vision processing doesnt assume

the availability of high-accuracy location data or imag-

ery, it can be used on a variety of sensors on unmanned

aircraft systems (UAS). With the FMV system running, a

UAS pilot need only point and click to pinpoint objects.

We are now in the process of transitioning the proto-

type system into existing airborne FMV sensors.

(CCOD) research. With CCOD, we have developed a

quicker way of doing business when it comes to design-

ing, acquiring, and deploying C2 technology, such as by

using Web or mobile applications.

Network Synchronization Working Group

Acquiring More Army Radiosfor Less

In its drive to transform its radio systems in the midst of

technological change and looming budget constraints,

the U.S. Army enlisted our help. At the Armys request,

we supported the Network Synchronization Working

Group (NSWG), which brought together all the parties

with a stake in the Armys modernization strategy. Our

experience in systems engineering and acquisitions

allowed us to take the individual perspectives of the

working group members and knit them together to

reach consensus.

Guided by data from a MITRE cost-benet analysis, the

NSWG recommended that the Army pursue a strategy

centered on a hardware-agnostic approach that would

encourage greater competition among vendors and

potentially lead to signicant cost savings. Following

the groups recommendations, the Army reallocated

acquisition funds so it could equip 10 combat teams

(instead of two as originally planned) with no loss of

anticipated capabilities. Overall, the NSWG results will

help the Army more efciently invest $622 million

in acquisition funds for 2013 and save more than $1.5

billion for terrestrial radios for all of its Infantry Brigade

Combat Teams.


11/40


In August 2011, we held a weeklong Operational Value

Experiment, or OVX, with Marine Corps operators and

acquisition professionals at MITREs site in Quantico,

Va. Working side by side with the Marines, our staff

introduced several CCOD tools and concepts of

operations. For example, our new model for eld

adaptation of IT resourcescreate, provision, evolve,reuseenabled analysts to spend signicantly more

time analyzing data, and much less time gathering it.

Overall, OVX participants saw the mission potential

in the CCOD technology and made several requests to

evaluate it further at military facilities.

Mobile Applications or the Military

Bringing the Best of

the Marketplace Together

In 2011, our

engineers created

an alpha version

of the Joint Battle

Command-

Platform (JBC-P)

product software

development kit

(PDK) for the U.S. Army. The Alpha PDK was tested atthe Network Integration Evaluation 12.1 and has been

credited with inuencing the Armys choice of the

Droid platform for its initial mobile handheld software

development infrastructure.

The alpha version of the JBC-P represents only a small

part of our ongoing support for the militarys mobile

computing environment. For example, our Government

Mobile Applications Group (GMAG) regularly brings

together government, academia, and commercial com-

panies to discuss how industry can meet thegovernments needs. It was at a GMAG session that

iPhone and Android developers discovered the need to

create solutions that would allow warghters to con-

nect securely to military networks. The DoD has now

tapped MITRE to steer its own internal collaboration

group, based on our success with the GMAG.

Map the Mission

Helping Ensure Mission Successfor the Air Force

For an Air Force mission to succeed, situational

awareness is critical. Any number of factors, including a

cyber attack, can disrupt the operation. Mission opera-

tors need to know how a cyber breach or malfunction-

ing computing device could affect mission success and

what action to take to resolve the problem. And it has to

be in plain language, not computer speak.

Recently, the 24th

Air Force turned to

us to help solve this

ongoing challenge.

Drawing on the

MITRE-developed

Cyber Command

System technology,

we designed a Map the Mission prototype. It links

systems to mission tasks to show the impact of cyber

intrusions on the military mission. Using advanced

visualization tools, operators can see the cyber

dependencies to make better decisions for keeping the

mission on track.

At the request of the Air Force, MITRE is conducting awarghter assessment of Map the Mission and will

be further testing the prototype in upcoming training

exercises.

From Our SponsorsI sincerely appreciate the outstanding work being

done by MITRE, and, in particular, this team, whose

hard work and dedication will make the job of the

warghter and key managers easier, more efcient,

and safer.

Post-Earthquake Support in Japan

Shoring Up Military Networks forHumanitarian Aid

Within hours of the Great Tohoku Earthquake striking

Japan on March 11, 2011, the U.S. military commenced

Operation Tomodachi, a massive assistance operation

to support disaster relief. MITRE immediately joined

the endeavor, applying essential knowledge about

Japans networks to establish connectivity to the mostdevastated regions.

One of our rst tasks for earthquake relief occurred

within three days after the quake. A team from our

Tokyo ofce developed alternatives for getting a two-

way video-teleconference capability up and running

to the new Operation Tomodachi Joint Task Force

Headquarters in Sendai, the hardest hit area of the

country. During the second week, the Japan Ministry of

Defense decided to accelerate upgrades of CENTRIXS-

JPN, a U.S.-Japan bilateral military data-sharing network,

to more than 80 times its original capacity.

The ministry asked our staff to coordinate the

operation. Fortunately, the system was ready: Just a

year earlier, we had gained consensus between the

United States and Japan for upgrading CENTRIXS-JPN

from low bandwidth point-to-point serial circuits to a

network dened by secure segments, known as black

core. We had already completed the design and had

recently nished an integration and checkout process.

The upgrades provided the necessary infrastructure to

support the bandwidth increasepreparation that paid

off sooner than anyone could have expected.

Collaborative Research into Threats

Enabling Efcient Cyber ThreatInformation Sharing

MITRE, its sponsors, and industry partners face a

common problem: an ever-increasing number of

cyber threats that could potentially cause serious

harm to operations. Since no single organization canpossibly tackle all these threats, collecting and sharing

information through peer communities is becoming the

norm. We are being proactive in developing efcient

solutions for this pressing problem, based on our

experience in cyber threat information sharing and

standards development.

In 2011, our researchers implemented the Collaborative

Research into Threats (CRITs) software prototype,

which enables cyber threat information to be

exchanged in an easy-to-understand format that builds

on existing cybersecurity standards, including the

MITRE-developed CVE and MAEC. Previously,

threat information was buried in emails and pdfs,

making it difcult for analysts to decipher. With CRITs,

a human-machine interface enables rapid, in-depth

analysis so organizations can share information quickly

and take action to mitigate the threat.

Battleeld Airborne Communications Node

Connecting Warghters inRemote Locations

For warghtersparticularly ground-based ones

staying connected via radio is a challenge because

personnel in different locations often use different

networks. A few years ago, the Air Force proposed

the idea of an airborne communications gateway to

solve the problem. In response, a small team of MITRE

engineers collaborated with the Electronic Systems

Center at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts and staff from

Northrop Grumman to develop a communications

gateway that operates from the payload of a high-

altitude aircraft.

The gateway, known as the Battleeld Airborne Commu-

nications Node, or BACN, moves incoming signals from

one radio to another as the aircraft ies over an assigned

area, closing communications gaps and tying disparate

networks together, often across great distances.

With an eye toward rapid development, we focused the

team on mitigating critical risks, such as signal interfer-

ence, environmental compatibility, and airworthiness

certication. We performed analyses and simulations

and developed faster processes to identify solutions

with acceptable risks. Following a series of successfuldemonstrations, the program has grown into a eet of

business jets and remotely piloted aircraft, now in daily

use. Moreover, the speed of BACNs development from

conception to elding contributed to the Air Forces de-

cision to establish its Quick Reaction Capability branch.

From Our SponsorsBy closing the information gap, BACN has made

signicant improvements to operational command,

control and communications; situational awareness;and targeting effectiveness.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz,

speaking at a 2011 ceremony where the BACN team

received the Weapons Systems Award and Col.

Franklin C. Wolfe Memorial Trophy from the Order

of Daedalians, the national fraternity of military

pilots. BACN has so far received three major awards.

Engineering a ComplexAirspace System

Ground-Based Sense and Avoid

Collaborating to IntegrateUnmanned AircraftSystems into the NAS

Best known for their role in

overseas military operations,unmanned aircraft systems

(UAS) are also capable of a wide

range of civil tasks closer to home, such

as border patrol and disaster relief. How-

ever, FAA regulations require all aircraft

be able to see and avoid other aircraft

in the NAS. Drawing on our experience

working with the FAA, industry, and the

military, MITRE researchers are evaluat-

ing a Ground-Based Sense and Avoid

(GBSAA) capability to mitigate the lack

of see and avoid in current UAS.

In late 2011, a collaborative team of

government, MITRE, MIT Lincoln

Laboratory, and Raytheon engineers

successfully demonstrated an extension

of the Air Forces GBSAA proof of

concept called Dynamic Protection

Zone, or DPZ. The exercise, held in Gray

Butte, Calif., showed how DPZ effectively

alerts UAS pilots to execute avoidance

maneuvers in sufcient time to remain

well clear of other aircraft. Among many

productive results from the exercise, we

collected signicant data to help verify

the accuracy of our radar-modeling tool,

which maps the probability of detection

and generates data that will help dene

the volume of airspace in which the

UAS could safely operate. This marked a

critical milestone for the integration of

UAS into the NAS.

MITRE continues to help shape the Next Generation AirTransportation System, or NextGen, which is transorming theU.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Through our participationin RTCAs NextGen Advisory Committee, we provided dataand analyses to inorm prioritization o improvements in thebusiest metropolitan areas. In our experimentation acilities,we demonstrated technology and procedure advancements toassess viability and value. We also provided guidance to aviation

authorities worldwide on topics rom air trac management tooperational saety enhancements.

with a broad stakeholder community. In particular, we

engaged directly with MITRE sponsor agencies that

have aviation missions, including the FAA, Air Force,

Army, Navy, and Coast Guard.

We also

organized

a three-day

symposium

in June 2011

to unveil the

roadmap.

National

Transportation Safety Board Chairman, the Hon. Debbie

Hersman, addressed a high-level summit held at MITRE

several months earlier to kick off the initiative. The

June symposiuma direct result of that summit

brought together 300 key stakeholders in aviation

from organizations around the world. The gathering

had a singular focus: to align worldwide fatigue

research efforts and accelerate countermeasures to

combat fatigue in all aviation domains. This initiative

marks a crucial step in a sequence that stretches from

identifying and funding high-impact research projects

through testing, risk-assessment, and, ultimately,

implementation of new processes for reducing aviation

fatigue.

NextGen Interagency Experimentation Hub

Testing National Security Scenariosfrom Dispersed Sites

Building NextGen requires collaboration across

multiple federal agencies, including the FAA, NASA, and

the departments of Transportation, Commerce, Defense,

and Homeland Security, as well as other aviation

stakeholders. Given the diversity of requirements and

constraints, multi-stakeholder experiments are critical

to develop and test NextGen technologies, policies, and

procedures. Such experiments require real-time, secure

links among participants.

The NextGen Interagency Experimentation Hub

provides such links. It enables cross-rewall services

for transferring data, Web applications, chat, email,

Taiwan Air Trac Modernization

Extending Technical Guidanceto an International Partner

Nearly 10 years ago, the nation of Taiwan determined

it was time to upgrade the countrys aging air trafc

management (ATM) system. The Taiwan Civil

Aeronautics Administration Air Navigation and

Weather Service called on systems engineering experts

from across the globe, including MITRE, to help manage

the lengthy transition.

For the upgrade,

we served as the

programs pri-

mary consultant

for internal site

surveys, opera-

tional concepts,

and acquisition.

We also provided

implementation oversight, system design, and devel-

opment and execution of test and certication plans

for the new equipment. MITRE systems engineers on

site, along with several partners from universities and

commercial companies, developed a plan that allowed

the Taiwan aviation authorities to smoothly and safely

transition from one system to another. The ofcialinauguration on October 5, 2011, brought about an

important milestone: Taiwans ATM systems are now

fully digitalmaking the countrys airspace system one

of the most advanced in the Asia-Pacic Region.

Aviation Fatigue Symposium

Building Research Partnershipsfor Safer Skies

All humans are susceptible to fatigue. But risks from

fatigue are greater in some areas than others, including

aviation, which requires around-the-clock operations.

As part of a multi-year special initiative to bridge the

gap between research and operations, MITRE developed

an Aviation Fatigue Research Roadmap in partnership


17/40


and voice-over-IP communications obtained during

experiments. The Hub also provides cross-domain

services for controlled data exchange between networks

operating at different levels of classication. A MITRE

teamwhich included representation from four

FFRDCsdeveloped the Hub. Using the Hub, our

sponsors and other partners can help improve thesafety, security, efciency, quality, and affordability of

the NAS at a lower cost and with less risk.

Aviation IDEA Lab

Bringing NextGen Concepts to Life

The FAA cant shut down the NAS to test new technolo-

gy. But a state-of-the-art MITRE facility can give aviation

stakeholders the next best thing: a way to see how newtechnology performs without calling air trafc to a halt.

The facility is the MITRE Aviation IDEA Laboratory,

where IDEA stands for Integrated Demonstration and

Experimentation for Aeronautics. The lab is the latest

investment in the companys effort to help the FAA

manage the nations growing air trafc load.

The Aviation IDEA Lab opened in late 2010. It can

simulate a wide range of aviation functions, including

the ability to demonstrate the end-to-end experience of

ights through the system. Such features as a realistic

tower simulator, cockpit, and controller workstation

simulators show how changing one part of the NAS

would affect the whole. The demand for the facility

grows steadily: In 2011 alone, hundreds of pilots and

controllers participated in demonstrations, evaluations,and experiments as part of more than 530 events.

From Our SponsorsOperations is very hands on and visual. Its really

impossible to integrate a new procedure into the op-

eration without letting controllers and pilots get their

hands on it and their minds around it. MITRE has

the state-of-the-art facilities andas importantly

the expertise to operate them. Not only can Ops people

see the proposed procedure and how it will operate in

a realistic way, but it also lets them do the what-ifs

and explore even more possibilitiesall in the safety

and comfort of their own lab station. The ability to

do this kind of work and then immediately plow the

results back into the real world is invaluable.

Underground Tunnel Detection

Using Radar to Discoverand Disrupt IllegalPassages

For decades, narcotics smugglers,

illegal immigrants, and poten-tial terrorists have used hard-to-

detect tunnels to cross the U.S.-

Mexico border. Over the last three years,

however, our researchers devised an in-

novative sensor system that nds these

tunnels by hunting them underground,

rather than searching from above. The

system uses a robot crawler that carries a

radar antenna through a horizontal bore-

hole, searching for signals that might

indicate a smugglers tunnel.

In 2011, the DHS Science & Technology

Border and Maritime Division

awarded MITRE a contract to develop

modeling and simulation tools and a

system methodology for developing

an advanced capability to detect

clandestine tunnels. Our staff conducts

fundamental research and explores the

technical integration methods needed

to accelerate the delivery of commercial

tunnel-detection systems. MITRE

also provides technical management,

systems engineering guidance, sensor

performance analysis, geophysicalmodels, sensor simulation, and sensor

and algorithm development. As featured

in such magazines as Wiredand

Homeland Security Today, the work also

shows promise for other government

organizations, including the Department

of Defense.

The Department o Homeland Security must ensure the nation issae, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards sothe American way o lie can thrive. This complex mission requirescoordination among ederal, state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies,as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations. MITREhelps DHS improve its perormance in critical unctions, such asacquisition processes, risk and program management, and decision-making capabilities. We also apply systems engineering expertise toareas rom cybersecurity to border security and develop advancedprototypes, such as a aster, cheaper ngerprint identication system.

Fingerprint System Challenge

Achieving Faster, Cheaper, andAccurate Identity Matching

When it comes to screening visitors entering the United

States, DHS faces a complex task. The agency veries

identities and compares them to watch lists through

a proprietary ngerprint matching system. However,

costs continue to grow unacceptably while the need for

this service and for faster response time increases.

From Our SponsorsMITRE has been a key partner of the DHS IT

Security Program from the very beginning to the

present. From the outset, the MITRE team has

provided extraordinary expertise in both program

development and execution, and without their

strong support, the department would not be

where it is today.

Robert West, DHS Chief Information Security

Ofcer (retired 2011)

We worked toward the goal of reducing system costs

by a factor of 1,000 and increasing processing speed

from minutes to seconds. In 2011, we demonstrated

our prototypes compatibility with DHSs architecture

using non-proprietary algorithms in an open-source,

low-cost, and scalable design that achieves the needed

accuracy and speed. This follows earlier recognition ofthis works signicant progress: Fast Companymagazine

cited it as a key factor in selecting MITRE for its 2010

list of the Worlds 50 Most Innovative Companies.

Enabling Distributed Security in Cyberspace

Shaping a Dialogue AroundCyber Policy

Like the natural world, cyberspace is made of diverse

entities that interact in ever-changing ways. This

growing cyber ecosystem creates a target-rich

environment for malicious individuals or groups.

To address these threats, we are working with

DHS to promote concepts developed in a recently


21/40


published white

paper, Enabling

Distributed Security

in Cyberspace,

which we helped

produce.

DHS introduced a

draft of the paper

at an interagency

forum on cybersecurity co-hosted by DHS and the

White House; MITRE was the only non-governmental

organization to take part. The paper articulates DHSs

vision of the cyber ecosystem of the future, where

industry, academia, and government collaborate

to predict likely attacks, limit their spread, and

minimize their consequences. Today, we are helping

DHS to further discussion and build consensus acrossgovernment agencies on adoption of cybersecurity best

practices, standards, and technologies.

IPv6 Testing and Migration

Designing a Playbook forAdopting the New Internet

For the last three years, we have worked with our

government sponsors to migrate their IT infrastructuresand applications from IPv4 to its successor, Internet

Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The new Internet Protocol is

more exible, manages data transmission with greater

efciency, and can accommodate a nearly innite

number of new users.

In 2011, we worked with DHS to formulate a strategy

for its phased transition to IPv6. Drawing on earlier

guidance we provided to the DoD and U.S. Courts,

MITRE is collaborating with DHS on a start-to-nish

transition blueprint. We participated extensively inWorld IPv6 Dayan international event that allowed

organizations to test their Web infrastructures using the

new standardand the revamped DHS sites functioned

exactly as designed. As the DHS website migrations

continue, the agencys Customs and Border Protection

IT staff will act as the integrator, using the MITRE-

developed requirements document and work statement.

Advanced Chemical Vapor Detection System Project

Defending Against InvisibleChemical Threats

Threats against our nation can come in many forms,

including chemical. As part of the planning for the

new World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, the Port

Authority of New York and New Jerseyalong with the

complexs developers, architects, and builders

is applying knowledge gained from a yearlong MITRE

study of chemical vapor-detection systems.

The study, called the Advanced Chemical Vapor

Detection System project, began on behalf of the DHS

Science & Technology Chemical and Biological Divi-

sion. Our team created a matrix of 339 different chemi-

cal sensors, and then ranked the sensors by effective-

ness, reliability, and breadth of screening capability.

In addition, we produced system architecture,planning, and development recommendations for

integrating chemical vapor detectors into new and

existing buildings. Our reports validate and contribute

to DHS research on chemical, biological, radiological,

nuclear, and explosive threats and are helping set the

stage for national standards.

MITRE has long served as a key partner to help governmentadopt technology to meet mission needs. However, the greaterchallenge involves rethinking business models, taking onnew mission responsibilities, and changing management andgovernance approaches. Our ocus has evolved as well, applyingtechnical expertise and analytic methods to help agencies meetpublic expectations. In 2011, this involvement included work onimplementing the new healthcare and nancial oversight laws,

improving tax processing, moving homeless veterans towardrenewed lives, and modernizing the U.S. Courts systems.

Responding to EvolvingCivil Sector Challenges

Government as Integrator

Improving SystemsIntegration Capabilitiesin Civil Agencies

To assist agencies in achieving

objectives for public service,

MITRE is helping sponsorsoperate as their own systems

integrators for key revenue, tax, and

benets administration programs. Over

the last decade, these agencies have been

modernizing their systems using MITRE

for specialized engineering expertise and

acquisition or source-selection support.

As these large and complex systems

evolveespecially when integrating

new and legacy systemsit is challeng-

ing for agencies to oversee the work, stay

within budget and schedule, and deliver

effectively integrated solutions.

On several programs, we are helping

sponsors succeed in the integration role,

engineer better technical solutions, deliv-

er new IT-enabled business capabilities,

and implement new legislative require-

ments. A leading example of this greatergovernment capability is the Internal

Revenue Service. Over the past two years,

the IRS, with our assistance, put into

practice new engineering and integra-

tion capabilities on the CADE2 program,

which transforms the management of

individual taxpayer accounts and greatly

accelerates return and refund processing.

As a result, the IRS has delivered initial

CADE2 capabilities as planned, and

the GAO recently recognized it as one

of several well-run federal acquisition

programs. Through efforts to enhance

civilian agency systems engineering

capabilities, we are helping the IRS and

other agencies successfully adopt IT and

effectively use taxpayer funds.

Eliminating Veteran Homelessness

Connecting a Deserving Population

with the Right Resources

The longstanding problem of homelessness among our

nations veterans arises from complex factors, including

the economy, the availability of safe affordable housing,

and the physical and mental health of the veterans

themselves. Nevertheless, the Department of Veterans

Affairs is committed to ending homelessness among

veterans by 2015. VAs initiative, Eliminating Veteran

Homelessness (EVH), will help veterans acquire needed

services, such as safe housing, healthcare treatment

and support services, opportunities to return toemployment, and benets assistance.

VAs Veterans Health Administration, which is coor-

dinating the work of multiple agencies, engaged our

help on EVH. In 2011, an EVH statistical model was

developed to demonstrate what effect changes to the

EVH budget have on efforts to assist the homeless

veteran population, leading to valuable new insight into

resource requirements and program interactions for VA.

Statistics released in late 2011 by VA and the Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development show that

the EVH program is already beginning to demonstrate

modest, positive resultswith homelessness among

veterans declining nationally by nearly 12 percent. As

the initiative grows and reaches increasing numbers of

veterans, MITRE will continue to provide strategic sup-

port to further VAs progress in this crucial mission.

Healthcare TransormationTaking a Systems-BasedApproach to the Challenges ofHealthcare Delivery

Our nations healthcare sector is fragmented, costs

are climbing, patient outcomes arent as good as

they should be, and the promise of health IT is only

beginning to be fullled. In addition to our support

to the new Affordable Care Act, MITRE works in

numerous ways to transform our nations healthcaresystem through technology-based solutions.

In 2011, we made strides in several areas of critical

importance to the federal government, including

fostering the development of interoperable electronic

health records (EHRs) and furthering the meaningful

use of health IT to measure quality of care as it relates

to patient outcomes. Our popHealth is an open-

source tool that is now making it easier for healthcare

providers to integrate EHRs into their practices and

report crucial quality data to the government. TheNational Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), an ofce

within the Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS), certied popHealth for Stage 1 Meaningful Use

Clinical Quality Measure reporting.

Another MITRE tool, hDataa framework for

developing, verifying, and securely exchanging EHRs

From Our SponsorsWe demonstrated that we are now capable of

managing complex IT programs from inception to

deployment by focusing on collaboration among our

people, our processes, and our technology suppliers,

using the disciplines of program management. This

means that the IRS can choose to be the accountable

and responsible system integrator for any of our

future large-scale IT initiatives.

and operating domains, dene and build new system

architectures and technologies, integrate with legacy

systems, establish new organizations and services, and

connect with new stakeholders and partners.

Ofcials from both agencies, along with MITRE,

developed a concept of operations to establish acommon understanding of the Insurance Exchange

functions and the information ow among HHS, IRS,

the Social Security Administration, states, employers,

and insurers. The MITRE team is supporting both

agencies efforts to dene the challenges and craft a

shared strategic solution for implementing ACA.

From Our Sponsors

MITRE has been a terric partner in helpingCMS achieve key milestones in dening and

architecting the new Insurance Exchanges, as well

as redening our delivery of IT services within the

agency and HHS health domains. I look forward

to continuing our strong relationship as we move

forward in 2012.

Henry Chao, Deputy CIO and Deputy

Director, Ofce of Information Services,

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

achieved a double milestone in 2011. Two worldwide

standards bodies, the ANSI-accredited Health Level

7 International and the Object Management Group,

validated hData as a draft standard for trial use. As a

result, hData has become a much-needed resource for

software developers to create interoperable, secure

medical records for the healthcare community.

Afordable Care Act

Implementing a Game-ChangingLaw Across Agencies

The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, requires a large-scale,

coordinated effort by two federal agencies to implement

historic legislation expanding health insurance access

to millions of Americans. A MITRE team is working

with the IRS and HHS as they design and build a

programintegrated with the states and other federal

agenciesto support a complex process delivering

private health insurance coverage to the public through

Insurance Exchanges.

In an atmosphere of shrinking budgets, heightened

political scrutiny, and aggressive timelines, these agen-

cies face highly complex and entirely new challenges

with ACA. The IRS and HHS must align new business

Challenges come in all orms. Some need a rapid response, whileothers require time or technology to mature and the true natureo problems to play out. MITRE has the perspective to make thisdistinction and take action accordingly because the governmentsmission, not market orces, drives us. We share knowledge borneo practical experience and help our country conront enduringchallengesin areas as diverse as promoting science education tonding innovative ways to collaborate across boundaries.

Taking the Long View

MITRE-Harvard Nanoprocessor

Lightening theWarghters Load withNanotechnology

Its a familiar sight: warghters

traversing rugged terrain, bent

over under huge backpacks, car-rying electronic equipment piled

high over their heads. MITRE wants

to help reduce the size of their high-

tech equipment and shrink the power

needed to run it. That quest achieved a

breakthrough in 2011 with the introduc-

tion of the worlds rst programmable

nanoprocessor.

As announced in the international

journal Nature, a collaboration betweenMITRE and Harvard University demon-

strated how complex computer circuits

can be built from ultra-tiny components

called nanowires. The nanoprocessor is

the culmination of many years of team-

work between our Nanosystems Group

and Harvard.

Shrinking the size and weight of

electronic systems will ultimately havea real impact not just for warghters on

foot, but for those aboard tanks, ships,

planes, and armored vehicles. This

innovation shows great promise for

non-military applications as well, such

as tiny medical devices.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

Laying the Foundation for theWorkforce of the Future

U.S. colleges have seen a decline in the number of

students enrolled in science, technology, engineering,

and math (STEM) majors over the last decade. Through

a variety of STEM activities, our employees are working

to reverse the trend. In 2011, MITRE provided technical

opportunities to hundreds of promising students,

helping them become the technology innovators of

tomorrow.

At our Tampa and Colorado Springs ofces, for example,

dozens of students are developing the skills and

expertise needed to be knowledgeable cybersecurity

The MITRE Challenge

Catalyzing WorldwideCollaboration for Critical Issues

In spring 2011, MITRE issued a challenge to the global

technical community: compare two lists of multicul-

tural names and then produce matches for each name. It

was a test of a component of identity matching, which

involves measuring the similarity of database records

relating to people. Identity matching has multiple uses,

such as verifying Social Security records, screening air-

line passengers against watch lists, or reuniting families

after natural disasters. Our goal: tap into the best and

brightest on behalf of our government sponsors.

Participants of all typesfrom graduate students to

scientists at Fortune 500 companiesresponded

to what we labeled the MITRE Challenge. For nine

months, staff from our Identity Matching Lab encour-

aged competition and posted teams results on a public

leaderboard. In total, 40 teams from around the world

produced 3,276 different submissions, with the most

improved team driving its performance up 79 points

on a scale of 100. We revealed the names of the top

performing teams at a technical exchange meeting

attended by several government agencies in October.

Since then, other government organizations have asked

MITRE to brief them on the potential for such competi-tions, and planning for future challenges is under way.

MITRE Systems Engineering Guide

Contributing a Body of Knowledgeto the Technical Community

For more than 50 years, we have applied systems engi-

neering expertise to complex government challenges.

In 2011, we published an online collection, the MITRE

Systems Engineering Guide (SEG), which allows us to

share real-world lessons gathered over time and often

unavailable in textbooks. The SEG represents the col-

lected wisdom of 130 MITRE technical staff, as well as

other thought leaders in the eld.

specialists. Through our longstanding Student Program,

we hire exceptional students from high schools and

colleges across the country to serve as summer technical

aides and to participate in cutting-edge nanotechnology

research. And to boost advanced studies, MITRE is a

leader in the National GEM Consortium, a nonprot

that helps top minority students pursue graduatedegrees in STEM elds.

Advanced Cyber Security Center

Launching a New Model forCross-Sector Collaboration

Removing barriers to information sharing for solving

complex problems requires new and innovative

approaches. We have been working with others to

develop such an approach to defeating cyber threats

through the creation of the Advanced Cyber Security

Center (ACSC). In September 2011, more than 200

leaders from government, industry, and academia

joined us on our Bedford campus to launch the center.

Featured speakers included the governor and attorney

general of Massachusetts, as well as the DHS director of

cybersecurity coordination.


The ACSC is the rst cross-sector consortium in the

nation devoted to tackling the complexities of

cybersecurity through regional collaboration. MITRE

provides space and other resources for the ACSC, which

Mass Insight Global Partnerships manages. Even before

the kick-off, we created the Cyber Threat Information

Portal, a secure, virtual environment for ACSCmembers. Other plans for the center include working

with educational institutions to train an effective cyber

workforce and developing cyber-focused research

partnerships between major universities and industry

laboratories in New England.

What the GovernorSays

The Advanced Cyber Security Center will serve as

a model for others to follow on how to solve critical

problems across our state, our region, and our nation.

With the centers cross-sector collaboration opportuni-

ties, we can work across disciplines, across industries,

across academia and government. Thats why Im so

excited to be part of the ACSCs launch.

Knowledge Managementas a Powerful Engine forCollaboration

T

he knowledge and work prod-

ucts of our employees, past

and present, are some of the

companys greatest assets, and

we go to great lengths to maximize their

value through sharing, both inside and

outside the companys walls. At MITRE,

knowledge management, or KM, isnt

compartmentalized or separated from

our daily work. Rather, it is a continu-

ous thread that underlies our activities,

enhances our ability to collaborate, and

affects our choices for corporate infra-

structure and communications systems.

Why is knowledge management soimportant to us? At MITRE, we believe

KM supports our ability to serve the

customer and enable an adaptive and

innovative learning environment. For

example, many of our sponsors rely

on us to provide the historical context

and ongoing support for projects that

may last yearseven decadessuch as

AWACS or the Link 16 tactical data link.

We follow rigorous processes to preserve

and transfer often-irreplaceable informa-tion from one generation of our staff and

sponsor representatives to the next.

Our state-of-the-art social software tool,

Handshake, promotes secure collabora-

tion between our employees and our

partners in government, industry, and

academia. Handshake, which has been

honored with an Intranet Innovation

Award, promotes rapid interactions

among individuals and groups in a

format that allows for the retention and

reuse of shared solutions.

We also encourage and recognize

employee ideas that promote knowledge

sharing. For example, a MITRE employee

developed a cyber-analysis training

curriculum, initially for internal use,

that is now available through the

Internet to the broader cybersecurity

community.

In both 2009 and 2011, the KNOW

Network named us one of its Most

Admired Knowledge Enterprises. But

even with such honors, KM is never

done at MITREthere are alwaysbetter ways to manage information

and promote collaboration. One such

initiative, Project Pages, helps us

consolidate important programmatic

information and associated work

products in one location for all project

team members to use.

We also invested in infrastructure

upgrades in 2011 to make it easier for

staff to work together in support of oursponsors. For instance, we established

collaboration covessmall, exible

video-teleconferencing and collaborative

workspacesthat enable teams to

conduct impromptu information-

sharing and brainstorming sessions.
