Boeing has opened an intelligence collaboration
and data analysis center in Northern Virginia to enable the
creation and testing of new concepts to counter increasingly
sophisticated, global threats to U.S. security.
The innovation center will allow Boeing’s
Intelligence Community customers, industry partners, and the
scientific and academic communities to brainstorm, test, and field
technologies designed to help prevent terrorist attacks like a
passenger’s attempt to detonate explosives on a U.S. airliner on
25 December 2009.
“The concepts developed in this center will
allow our customers and partners to apply critical technology to
their missions,” said Roger Krone, president of Boeing Network &
Space Systems. “The investments Boeing is making in the center
will provide a low-cost conduit for pushing technical solutions
into the field with reduced risk and better results.”
Boeing’s initial $1.5 million investment in the center will
support a focus on sharing and transferring information among
disparate organizations, while protecting the integrity of the
original data.
Among the technologies to be demonstrated in
the new center are Boeing’s Cross Domain Solutions. These
incorporate various hardware and software products, such as the
Visual Security Operations Console, DataMaster management software
and eXMeritus HardwareWall.
“Boeing has been working for
several years with the Intelligence Community to deploy proven,
high-end computer systems to address data sharing,” said Dewey
Houck, director of the Mission Systems subdivision of Boeing
Intelligence & Security Systems. “This new center provides a venue
for group brainstorming and ‘ideation’ – which means using ideas
generated in a collaborative environment to develop solutions that
can be quickly implemented to address immediate threats.”
