SECURABLE ROBUST TABLET NODES (SERTN) Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Topic No.: N152-087 Topic Title: SECURABLE ROBUST TABLET NODES (SERTN) Proposal No.: N152-087-0823 Firm: Space Sciences Corporation 181A W FRONTAGE ROAD LEMITAR, New Mexico 87823 Contact: Lawrence Dickson Phone: (619) 292-1985 Abstract: The Kneeboard must operate robustly and efficiently in disjointed environments at multiple security levels and with multiple IO streams. It is therefore a task that calls for a fresh start, away from the �one-armed paperhanger� model of handheld device design. Space Sciences Corporation arrives at this task with several unique abilities and pieces of IP which make the fresh start possible. Our approach [1] parts ways with most recent computer development by following classic Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) paradigms which make it top-level design-naturalistic rather than top-level design-legalistic, and therefore give it Hardware-Software Equivalence (HSE), which is naturally robust, secure, modular, and part-swappable. Benefits: The output of this project will be useful to all the military services of the United States, plus other Government agencies like NASA which are at the cutting edge of complex computing needs. Its simplicity means it will also be useful in the commercial markets (like medical devices), because these often have a clear analogy to military security needs, as when handling confidential medical information. Non-military users will find the project techniques valuable wherever a definite goal is to be accomplished by uncertain or variable assets or means, and where bad conditions make it imperative that simple, robust command structure be able to make it fully through to goal, without bogging down in missing components or �blue screen of death� lockup. The output of all phases of this project will avoid closed-source code, closed standards, and �ecosystem� lock-in. Therefore they will tend to be adopted by all government and commercial entities that do not wish to be subjected to these hindrances. We will identify potential partners for commercialization in Phase I. Return
