July 14, 2006 – ObjectSecurity delivered an air traffic control proof-of-concept to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), demonstrating a robust integration with NRL’s survivable SINS middleware for mission-critical deployments in defense and civilian sectors. This demo, featuring simulated plane transponder, radar, and collision detection data, highlights SINS’ ability to maintain a global shared state across distributed systems, ensuring minimum safety distances between aircraft. The project proves SINS as a viable platform for developing and integrating applications in tactical defense and critical civilian infrastructure, with unique features like system-wide safety and survivability, allowing applications to recover from node loss—essential for net-centric defense. The deliverable also includes a feature analysis and a roadmap for SINS’ certification and market readiness. ObjectSecurity proposes integrating SINS with model-driven engineering tools (like SecureMiddleware MDA) to simplify secure, survivable distributed application development and a centralized policy management system (similar to OpenPMF) to streamline security, safety, and QoS policies. This approach enables automatic policy generation from application models, reducing management complexity and risk. Dr. Ramesh Bharadwaj from NRL plans to continue collaborating with ObjectSecurity as part of SINS’ commercialization strategy.
