Projects
- Wireless Network Testing: Working with Northrop Grumman, SDI software engineers developed a test application that measures, displays, and reports wide-area wireless broadband performance. This application permits mobile drive testing to characterize network signal strength and other parameters related to the Northrop Grumman's New York City Wide-area Information Network (NYCWiN) and other network deployments.
- FDNY RFID: SDI is developing a suite of RFID software applications (Tour Roster, Ride List, Remote Web Application) using C-Sharp and Adobe Flex technologies to support Fire Department New York (FDNY) efforts to identify firefighters responding to incidents. SDI is working with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and FDNY personnel to investigate and define concepts of operations and to develop applications contributing to firefighter locater information during transit to and at the fire ground. SDI's web application assists FDNY Officers by digitizing the paper-based BF-4 Riding List report and making this information available within FDNY networks.
- Web Development: SDI performed Flash and Java Web development and programming for CDVD/IE, the Comprehensive Distributed Virtual Database with Information Extraction, a U.S. Naval Research Laboratory program. The system uses Oracle databases, a Web map server, Macromedia Flash, and Apache Tomcat to gather and combine data from multiple sources, presenting the user with maritime situational awareness and the ability to export data to other systems, subscribe to areas or vessels, manually merge duplicate or unidentified tracks with known vessels, and view images.
- Hypergraph: SDI modified an existing open source visualization tool that displays relationships between objects in a system to expand and customize its capabilities for use with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Comprehensive Maritime Awareness Program. Users can drill down through data in the system to find the relationship between two seemingly unrelated objects.
- User Provisioning System: SDI developed a user provisioning system for a wide-area wireless broadband network. The system integrates a RADIUS server, MySQL database, and an Apache Tomcat Java Web application to allow users to access the network.
- Upper Stage: SDI assisted with launch processing, documentation, and security. SDI worked with engineers to create documents, assisted with the coordination of badging and training, and escorted personnel at various Cape Canaveral facilities.
- National Restaurant Association: SDI developed several blogs for the NRA's Coldfusion-based Web site, restaurant.org, and integrated a third-party Wiki system with the site. SDI has posted content and processed images during the NRA trade show, and has set up a database to handle the content associated with the annual Restaurant Neighbor Awards, and implemented a designer's graphic mockup for a redesign of the trade show section of restaurant.org.
- Security: SDI is experienced with creating security documentation (DCID 6/3, NISPOM, DITSCAP). SDI also handles personnel security to include investigation requests and visit request. SDI personnel are also experienced with physical security to include escorting personnel and maintaining secure facilities.
- All-Java Server: The AJS is an internal R&D RADIUS server development effort for use in a prototype user provisioning/authentication system for a wide-area wireless broadband network. The all Java RADIUS server improves transaction volume performance.
