THREAT ASSESSMENT
Problem: |
A windows-based application to support cargo screening at points-of-entry for radioactive materials was required by a federal agency. Key challenges included:
Rapid Development:A functional prototype needed to be demonstrated within 60 days. The entire application needed to be developed, tested and deployed within 120 days. High Profile: The application would be used at one of the highest-profile public events in the world. Multilingual: The system had to support multiple languages. Multimedia: Video, photo, text and data had to be captured, evaluated and the results made available to users. Real Time: The system needed to respond to changing events very rapidly, imposing the minimum burden on incoming cargo. The entire threat assessment process had to be completed in 15 seconds. 100% Availability: System could not ever be out of service, for any reason.
Solution | Neosynapse delivered a solution with the key capabilities required for success: Rapid Development: System was delivered within the time constraints. Multilanguage User Interface: A user interface supporting 11 different languages was developed. Multimedia Integration: Video, still photo, text and scientific data was organized and stored for archival purposes as well as making threat assessments in real time. Real Time Performance: Threat assessment able to be determined <15 sec. Management by Exception: The system used an exception model to allow security personnel to monitor multiple lanes of cargo simultaneously. Full Availability: Redundancy and backup processes were used to provide successful full availability.
Benefit: | The system came online ahead of schedule and operated without a single failure, delivering many benefits including: Increased Security: Visitors and participants benefited from an additional layer of security to protect them from attacks with radiological materials. Minimized Commercial Disruption:Cargo movement was maintained while still enhancing security. Scale:The federal agency is preparing to implement the system on a permanent basis to strengthen national homeland security
