Data Management and Web Access

Our services and the systems we've developed have provided U.S. Government agencies with the ability to securely access intelligence data and products. We provide access to great volumes of data in both real-time streaming modes and long-term data warehouses. The real-time streaming mode is complimented by our Real Time Displays (RTDs), which present data in a wide variety of graphical formats. The data archive systems are augmented by our data delivery systems that provide data to the user in both electronic and media modes. Delivery mode can be determined by user preference or by automatic determination based on data size and bandwidth limitations.

To compliment our data management and archival systems, IIW is developing web-based architectures and systems to provide data search, conversions, compression, and filtering of data archives that are dispersed throughout the world. This architecture is designed to be scalable and flexible to accommodate the addition of new archives across multiple platforms, operating systems, data types, web browsers, and technologies.

With provisions for over 25GB/second of data ingest with 1.5 Petabyte, or greater, of storage capacity at each world-wide site location, our enterprise Data Management and Access System is a head above the competition. Access to the data is provided within seconds of collection, in either streaming or file based formats.

SIGINT Operations and Analysis Support

Our staff has over 20 years experience in collection and analysis support. Our recognized signals analysts are able to address the entire spectra of signal collection system design, deployment, and operational issues, as well as signal reporting, analysis, and evaluation. While specializing in ELINT and electronic attack (EA) signals, the analysts also possess collection and analysis capabilities in communication, foreign instrument signals intelligence (FISINT), and data signals. We identify intelligence gaps, obtain the requisite raw data, and perform in-depth signal analysis to satisfy national intelligence requirements. We routinely interface with national databases; government, contractor, and allied personnel; and national data collection systems in order to ensure that U.S. intelligence is complete, up-to-date, and accurate.

Multi-channel High Data Rate Signal Acquisition

Our signal acquisition systems provide leading-edge capabilities in signal data acquisition in gigabytes per second per stream and tens of gigabytes aggregate for hundreds of streams of analog and digital data. Our systems can be ground or mobile platform based and vary from a single rack-mountable unit to over 100 racks of equipment. We provide rugged systems specification, design, development, systems engineering, worldwide installation, and long-term O&M support. We develop our systems in a fraction of the time and cost of larger systems integrators due to our unparalleled domain knowledge, use of commercial off-the-shelf products, and reutilization of our existing software, hardware, and systems designs.

Power Pattern and Polarization (P3) Collection and Analysis

Our staff has over 15 years experience in power pattern and polarization (P3) collection and analysis. Not only do we populate the databases used by many U.S. Government agencies and satisfy many intelligence requirements, but we have also devised new methods and processes to improve the collection and analysis of P3 data. We are experts in the design, deployment, and operation of P3 collection systems. Our staff is involved in every stage of the design, development, testing, and verification of P3 collection systems, as well as the exploitation and documentation of P3 data.
