No One Can Take a Bite Out Of This BIG APPLE

NYPD realizing they have been hit twice by terror attacks and have uncovered multiple plots that did not transpire have formed their own Counter Terror Team.  The video does and excellent job of reviewing it’s formation and uncovers a compelling topic

With the worldwide terror community knowing that NYC is a tough target might they not start looking at other major U.S. cities? This means each city will need to form a like task force and when formed all units will need to keep updating and morphing technology to fit the new asymmetrical threats generated by terror cells of all persuasions . In essence every major city will need to have a DOD type surveillance and security plan. In the past a city would think of new squad cars and perhaps a radar device. Now these organizations will need to be up to date and thinking about cameras of all types, video analytics, video servers, chem/bio sensors,UGV’s,UAV’s,helicopters and Human Social Cultural Behavior schemes. One company that provides enabling technology for these types of applications is D-TA Systems (www.d-ta.com). Started by industry legend, Dr. Dipak Roy this group has a vast amount of enabling technology for the types of surveillance applications that will be required to support the standing up of municipal counter terror groups.

D-TA Systems pioneered 10 Gigabit Sensor Processing – a new network-centric approach to sensor processing applications such as COMINT/SIGINT/ELINT, software radio, radar, acoustic, RF Test & Instrumentation etc.  These are indeed the building blocks for establishment of a municipal counter terrorism force

Benefits of this architecture:

·         Multiple 10 GigE links forms a digital backbone that provides scalable digital output at line speed and hence high bandwidths and channel counts 

·         Coverage of the RF/IF frequency range from 20 MHz to 6 GHz with instantaneous bandwidths from 40 MHz to over 1 GHz per channel.

·         Internal architecture for multi-channel reconfigurable and programmable RF, IF and digital processing

·         Very high level of scalability of RF/IF channels and recording storage – from a single channel to 100s of channels, eg  phased array radar.

·         Separation of analog and digital functions yields much better signal performance than bus-based systems

·         Channel synchronization is assured as well as precise channel alignment – multiple channels in single unit and across multiple boxes

·         Applications Ready Modular Subsystems gives you a turnkey development environment

·         Very fast scalable data recording at over 1600 MB/sec sustained for a single unit –scalable to higher transfer rates for larger systems

·         Customizable for deployment
