From the President and the Chairman of the Board

each of the federally funded research and development centers we operate for our government sponsors, we have renewed our commitment to partner with them to achieve these objectivesand we made good progress in 2011. For example, our multistatic radar solution offers greatly improved accuracy for identifying ground-based targets with a smaller footprint and significantly lower costs compared to conventional radar. We made substantive contributions to a program that will help save the Army approximately $1.5 billion when it equips its combat teams with new radios. We are working to tie disparate networks together and close the information gap to make significant improvements to command, control, communications, situational awareness, and targeting effectiveness. Our fingerprint matching solution for homeland security promises to reduce costs by a factor of 1,000 while increasing processing speed from minutes to seconds. In the critical cybersecurity arena, MITRE is offering ideas that will help government agencies carry out their missions when cyber attacks compromise vital systems. Together with Mass Insight Global Partnerships, we created the first cross-sector consortium in the nation devoted to tackling the complexities of cybersecurity through regional collaboration. MITRE is also helping DHS to further discussion and consensus building across government agencies on adoption of cybersecurity best practices, standards, and technologies. Recognizing that the Federal Aviation Administration cannot shut down the national airspace to test new technology, MITRE created an experimentation environment that allows researchers and stakeholders to see how changing one part of the national airspace system would affect the whole and has hosted hundreds of demonstrations, evaluations, and experiments. We have virtualized the environment to enable agencies to test their collaborative responses to emergencies from their own offices without the expense of bringing everyone to the same location. We also helped develop and demonstrate a system that can be implemented quickly and efficiently to pave the way for safe unmanned aircraft systems operations in the national airspace.

y any measure, 2011 was a tumultuous year. From natural disasters at home and abroad, to the drawdown in Iraq and continuing operations in Afghanistan, to unrest in Africa and the Middle East, to a global financial crisis that shows few signs of abating, our national leaders have faced exceptional challenges. And 2012 promises to be equally challenging. Protecting the security of our nation has become an increasingly complex issue. Once the exclusive purview of the traditional defense and intelligence disciplines, today it encompasses far more. Our future depends not only on our ability to defend our countrys borders and national interests, but also on our ability to secure the health and welfare of its citizens. We must maintain a stable economy fueled by the secure and efficient collection of taxes; we must guarantee the safe and effective movement of people and goods within and across our borders; we must protect our critical infrastructures from debilitating cyber attacks; and we must improve our fragmented healthcare system. Furthermore, all of these challenges must be addressed in an environment characterized by significant budget constraints. We understand that reducing the cost of acquisitions, operations, and systems will be a crucial component of future success. We strive to deliver highimpact solutions, based on scientific and engineering excellence. The FFRDCs that we operate are well positioned to deliver transformational capabilitiessolutions that provide orders of magnitude improvements in efficiency, effectiveness, and affordability. Within

We are ably aided in our efforts by our trustees, who provide invaluable guidance and direction, offering insights into how we might best help government meet the challenges it faces. This year we say goodbye to two retiring trustees, Dr. William Happer and Mr. William Mitchell. We thank them for their service and wish them well in their future endeavors. For over 50 years, in good economic times and bad, we have found ways to deliver the transformational mission solutions our sponsors expect from us. We are poised to do the same in the coming years and will work closely with our sponsors to ensure their continued success.

We are helping the Internal Revenue Service manage the impact of last-minute tax law changes as well as the many information technology initiatives scheduled for 2012. We are working with the Department of Veterans Affairs on a system solution to reduce veteran homelessness and with the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services to launch the Affordable Care Act. Two of the products of our healthcare work, popHealth and hData, are moving forward as accepted standards. Through our internal research program, we work to anticipate the future and bring about transformational results. Our collaboration with Harvard University resulted in the first programmable nanoprocessor. Through what we call the MITRE Challenge, we are catalyzing worldwide collaboration. The first challenge focused on identity matching, a capability important to many of our sponsors. Our research into strategies to rapidly create essential system capabilities in on-demand situations promises to speed the design, acquisition, and deployment of command and control technology by using available Web-based and mobile applications. We take great pride in our work and are gratified by recognition of our accomplishments. This year Information Week ranked us as one of the most innovative users of business technology. Our partner-accessible social network, Handshake, won an Intranet Innovation Award, and our exceptional knowledge management and sharing practices again placed us among the top 10 knowl-

Strengthening National Defense

The military relies on fast-moving information, accurate data collection and analysis, and wide-ranging communications to complete its mission. Working with our sponsors, MITRE develops technology that brings new capabilities to the warfighter. We are also confronting the increase in threats to our nations computer networks by seeking innovative ways to deflect and recover from cyber attacks. Three goals guide our work: dramatic performance improvements, reduced system costs, and accelerated delivery to the field.
Bistatic/Multistatic Radar program, with hardware built at our in-house prototyping facility. As the work matured, we began transitioning the technology to our customer base. An immediate operational application was identified through discussions with the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) in support of their counter-IED mission. JIEDDO procured funding for prototype development, designating it the Bistatics Surveillance System (BSS). With our assistance, initial BSS prototypes were deployed in a towermounted configuration in Afghanistan, supporting daily Army operations. Because of growing interest in the systems capabilities, we are now developing additional applications of the technology and supporting JIEDDO in the technical transition of BSS (including designs, specifications, reference implementations and prototypes, documentation, and performance-test-evaluation results) to the Army for potential production and procurement.

Moving from Revolutionary Concept to Operational Viability

ITRE has a long history of advancing radar technology, most recently with the practical demonstration of a bistatic/multistatic ground-moving target indications (GMTI) radar configurationa previously recognized concept that, to date, had not seen operational application due to several technical obstacles. Our researchers showed how certain signal processing algorithms, paired with the right hardware, enable a new class of lightweight GMTI radars for a variety of operational environments. Besides the smaller size and potentially lower cost compared to conventional radar approaches, the prototype offers improved accuracy for identifying groundbased moving targets. The bistatic/multistatic work began within the MITRE-funded research

Network Synchronization Working Group

Full Motion Video Processing

Acquiring More Army Radios for Less

In its drive to transform its radio systems in the midst of technological change and looming budget constraints, the U.S. Army enlisted our help. At the Armys request, we supported the Network Synchronization Working Group (NSWG), which brought together all the parties with a stake in the Armys modernization strategy. Our experience in systems engineering and acquisitions allowed us to take the individual perspectives of the working group members and knit them together to reach consensus. Guided by data from a MITRE cost-benefit analysis, the NSWG recommended that the Army pursue a strategy centered on a hardware-agnostic approach that would encourage greater competition among vendors and potentially lead to significant cost savings. Following the groups recommendations, the Army reallocated acquisition funds so it could equip 10 combat teams (instead of two as originally planned) with no loss of anticipated capabilities. Overall, the NSWG results will help the Army more efficiently invest $622 million in acquisition funds for 2013 and save more than $1.5 billion for terrestrial radios for all of its Infantry Brigade Combat Teams.

A Practical Demonstration of Precision Geolocation

Determining the precise location of a ground object from an unmanned aircrafts video requires expert analysis to compare still images from the FMV (full motion video) to reference imagery. Analysts must select multiple corresponding points to match the images with the location. This not only takes time, but users may lack access to the required reference imagery, making it harder to take immediate action. MITREs FMV processing research resolves many of these issues. It uses machine-vision technology to localize ground objects with high accuracy in real time. Because the machine-vision processing doesnt assume the availability of high-accuracy location data or imagery, it can be used on a variety of sensors on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). With the FMV system running, a UAS pilot need only point and click to pinpoint objects. We are now in the process of transitioning the prototype system into existing airborne FMV sensors.

Composable Capability on Demand

Adapting Technology for the Marine Corps

Getting command and control (C2) technology into the hands of warfighters without a years-long acquisition process drives MITREs Composable Capability on Demand (CCOD) research. With CCOD, we have developed a quicker way of doing business when it comes to designing, acquiring, and deploying C2 technology, such as by using Web or mobile applications.

The MITRE Corporation

In August 2011, we held a weeklong Operational Value Experiment, or OVX, with Marine Corps operators and acquisition professionals at MITREs site in Quantico, Va. Working side by side with the Marines, our staff introduced several CCOD tools and concepts of operations. For example, our new model for field adaptation of IT resourcescreate, provision, evolve, reuseenabled analysts to spend significantly more time analyzing data, and much less time gathering it. Overall, OVX participants saw the mission potential in the CCOD technology and made several requests to evaluate it further at military facilities.

Map the Mission

Helping Ensure Mission Success for the Air Force

For an Air Force mission to succeed, situational awareness is critical. Any number of factors, including a cyber attack, can disrupt the operation. Mission operators need to know how a cyber breach or malfunctioning computing device could affect mission success and what action to take to resolve the problem. And it has to be in plain language, not computer speak. Recently, the 24th Air Force turned to us to help solve this ongoing challenge. Drawing on the MITRE-developed Cyber Command System technology, we designed a Map the Mission prototype. It links systems to mission tasks to show the impact of cyber intrusions on the military mission. Using advanced visualization tools, operators can see the cyber dependencies to make better decisions for keeping the mission on track. At the request of the Air Force, MITRE is conducting a warfighter assessment of Map the Mission and will be further testing the prototype in upcoming training exercises.

Mobile Applications for the Military

Bringing the Best of the Marketplace Together

In 2011, our engineers created an alpha version of the Joint Battle CommandPlatform (JBC-P) product software development kit (PDK) for the U.S. Army. The Alpha PDK was tested at the Network Integration Evaluation 12.1 and has been credited with influencing the Armys choice of the Droid platform for its initial mobile handheld software development infrastructure. The alpha version of the JBC-P represents only a small part of our ongoing support for the militarys mobile computing environment. For example, our Government Mobile Applications Group (GMAG) regularly brings together government, academia, and commercial companies to discuss how industry can meet the governments needs. It was at a GMAG session that iPhone and Android developers discovered the need to create solutions that would allow warfighters to connect securely to military networks. The DoD has now tapped MITRE to steer its own internal collaboration group, based on our success with the GMAG.

From Our Sponsors

I sincerely appreciate the outstanding work being done by MITRE, and, in particular, this team, whose hard work and dedication will make the job of the warfighter and key managers easier, more efficient, and safer.

Post-Earthquake Support in Japan

Shoring Up Military Networks for Humanitarian Aid

Within hours of the Great Tohoku Earthquake striking Japan on March 11, 2011, the U.S. military commenced Operation Tomodachi, a massive assistance operation

network defined by secure segments, known as black core. We had already completed the design and had recently finished an integration and checkout process. The upgrades provided the necessary infrastructure to support the bandwidth increasepreparation that paid off sooner than anyone could have expected.

Collaborative Research into Threats

Enabling Efficient Cyber Threat Information Sharing

to support disaster relief. MITRE immediately joined the endeavor, applying essential knowledge about Japans networks to establish connectivity to the most devastated regions. One of our first tasks for earthquake relief occurred within three days after the quake. A team from our Tokyo office developed alternatives for getting a twoway video-teleconference capability up and running to the new Operation Tomodachi Joint Task Force Headquarters in Sendai, the hardest hit area of the country. During the second week, the Japan Ministry of Defense decided to accelerate upgrades of CENTRIXSJPN, a U.S.-Japan bilateral military data-sharing network, to more than 80 times its original capacity. The ministry asked our staff to coordinate the operation. Fortunately, the system was ready: Just a year earlier, we had gained consensus between the United States and Japan for upgrading CENTRIXS-JPN from low bandwidth point-to-point serial circuits to a

MITRE, its sponsors, and industry partners face a common problem: an ever-increasing number of cyber threats that could potentially cause serious harm to operations. Since no single organization can possibly tackle all these threats, collecting and sharing information through peer communities is becoming the norm. We are being proactive in developing efficient solutions for this pressing problem, based on our experience in cyber threat information sharing and standards development. In 2011, our researchers implemented the Collaborative Research into Threats (CRITs) software prototype, which enables cyber threat information to be exchanged in an easy-to-understand format that builds on existing cybersecurity standards, including the MITRE-developed CVE and MAEC. Previously, threat information was buried in emails and pdfs, making it difficult for analysts to decipher. With CRITs, a human-machine interface enables rapid, in-depth analysis so organizations can share information quickly and take action to mitigate the threat.

Battlefield Airborne Communications Node

Connecting Warfighters in Remote Locations

For warfightersparticularly ground-based ones staying connected via radio is a challenge because personnel in different locations often use different networks. A few years ago, the Air Force proposed the idea of an airborne communications gateway to solve the problem. In response, a small team of MITRE engineers collaborated with the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts and staff from Northrop Grumman to develop a communications gateway that operates from the payload of a highaltitude aircraft. The gateway, known as the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, or BACN, moves incoming signals from one radio to another as the aircraft flies over an assigned area, closing communications gaps and tying disparate networks together, often across great distances. With an eye toward rapid development, we focused the team on mitigating critical risks, such as signal interference, environmental compatibility, and airworthiness certification. We performed analyses and simulations and developed faster processes to identify solutions with acceptable risks. Following a series of successful demonstrations, the program has grown into a fleet of business jets and remotely piloted aircraft, now in daily use. Moreover, the speed of BACNs development from conception to fielding contributed to the Air Forces decision to establish its Quick Reaction Capability branch.

From Our Sponsors

By closing the information gap, BACN has made significant improvements to operational command, control and communications; situational awareness; and targeting effectiveness.

Engineering a Complex Airspace System

MITRE continues to help shape the Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, which is transforming the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Through our participation in RTCAs NextGen Advisory Committee, we provided data and analyses to inform prioritization of improvements in the busiest metropolitan areas. In our experimentation facilities, we demonstrated technology and procedure advancements to assess viability and value. We also provided guidance to aviation authorities worldwide on topics from air traffic management to operational safety enhancements.

Ground-Based Sense and Avoid

Collaborating to Integrate Unmanned Aircraft Systems into the NAS

est known for their role in overseas military operations, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are also capable of a wide range of civil tasks closer to home, such as border patrol and disaster relief. However, FAA regulations require all aircraft be able to see and avoid other aircraft in the NAS. Drawing on our experience working with the FAA, industry, and the military, MITRE researchers are evaluating a Ground-Based Sense and Avoid (GBSAA) capability to mitigate the lack of see and avoid in current UAS. In late 2011, a collaborative team of government, MITRE, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and Raytheon engineers successfully demonstrated an extension of the Air Forces GBSAA proof of

concept called Dynamic Protection Zone, or DPZ. The exercise, held in Gray Butte, Calif., showed how DPZ effectively alerts UAS pilots to execute avoidance maneuvers in sufficient time to remain well clear of other aircraft. Among many productive results from the exercise, we collected significant data to help verify the accuracy of our radar-modeling tool, which maps the probability of detection and generates data that will help define the volume of airspace in which the UAS could safely operate. This marked a critical milestone for the integration of UAS into the NAS.

Taiwan Air Traffic Modernization

Extending Technical Guidance to an International Partner

Nearly 10 years ago, the nation of Taiwan determined it was time to upgrade the countrys aging air traffic management (ATM) system. The Taiwan Civil Aeronautics Administration Air Navigation and Weather Service called on systems engineering experts from across the globe, including MITRE, to help manage the lengthy transition. For the upgrade, we served as the programs primary consultant for internal site surveys, operational concepts, and acquisition. We also provided implementation oversight, system design, and development and execution of test and certification plans for the new equipment. MITRE systems engineers on site, along with several partners from universities and commercial companies, developed a plan that allowed the Taiwan aviation authorities to smoothly and safely transition from one system to another. The official inauguration on October 5, 2011, brought about an important milestone: Taiwans ATM systems are now fully digitalmaking the countrys airspace system one of the most advanced in the Asia-Pacific Region.

with a broad stakeholder community. In particular, we engaged directly with MITRE sponsor agencies that have aviation missions, including the FAA, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. We also organized a three-day symposium in June 2011 to unveil the roadmap. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman, the Hon. Debbie Hersman, addressed a high-level summit held at MITRE several months earlier to kick off the initiative. The June symposiuma direct result of that summit brought together 300 key stakeholders in aviation from organizations around the world. The gathering had a singular focus: to align worldwide fatigue research efforts and accelerate countermeasures to combat fatigue in all aviation domains. This initiative marks a crucial step in a sequence that stretches from identifying and funding high-impact research projects through testing, risk-assessment, and, ultimately, implementation of new processes for reducing aviation fatigue.

NextGen Interagency Experimentation Hub

Testing National Security Scenarios from Dispersed Sites

Building NextGen requires collaboration across multiple federal agencies, including the FAA, NASA, and the departments of Transportation, Commerce, Defense, and Homeland Security, as well as other aviation stakeholders. Given the diversity of requirements and constraints, multi-stakeholder experiments are critical to develop and test NextGen technologies, policies, and procedures. Such experiments require real-time, secure links among participants. The NextGen Interagency Experimentation Hub provides such links. It enables cross-firewall services for transferring data, Web applications, chat, email,

Aviation Fatigue Symposium

Building Research Partnerships for Safer Skies

All humans are susceptible to fatigue. But risks from fatigue are greater in some areas than others, including aviation, which requires around-the-clock operations. As part of a multi-year special initiative to bridge the gap between research and operations, MITRE developed an Aviation Fatigue Research Roadmap in partnership

The Hub also provides cross-domain services for controlled data exchange between networks operating at different levels of classification. A MITRE teamwhich included representation from four FFRDCsdeveloped the Hub. Using the Hub, our sponsors and other partners can help improve the safety, security, efficiency, quality, and affordability of the NAS at a lower cost and with less risk.

the ability to demonstrate the end-to-end experience of flights through the system. Such features as a realistic tower simulator, cockpit, and controller workstation simulators show how changing one part of the NAS would affect the whole. The demand for the facility grows steadily: In 2011 alone, hundreds of pilots and controllers participated in demonstrations, evaluations, and experiments as part of more than 530 events.

Aviation IDEA Lab

Bringing NextGen Concepts to Life

The FAA cant shut down the NAS to test new technology. But a state-of-the-art MITRE facility can give aviation stakeholders the next best thing: a way to see how new technology performs without calling air traffic to a halt. The facility is the MITRE Aviation IDEA Laboratory, where IDEA stands for Integrated Demonstration and Experimentation for Aeronautics. The lab is the latest investment in the companys effort to help the FAA manage the nations growing air traffic load. The Aviation IDEA Lab opened in late 2010. It can simulate a wide range of aviation functions, including

Operations is very hands on and visual. Its really impossible to integrate a new procedure into the operation without letting controllers and pilots get their hands on it and their minds around it. MITRE has the state-of-the-art facilities andas importantly the expertise to operate them. Not only can Ops people see the proposed procedure and how it will operate in a realistic way, but it also lets them do the what-ifs and explore even more possibilitiesall in the safety and comfort of their own lab station. The ability to do this kind of work and then immediately plow the results back into the real world is invaluable.

Safeguarding Domestic Security

The Department of Homeland Security must ensure the nation is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards so the American way of life can thrive. This complex mission requires coordination among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies, as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations. MITRE helps DHS improve its performance in critical functions, such as acquisition processes, risk and program management, and decisionmaking capabilities. We also apply systems engineering expertise to areas from cybersecurity to border security and develop advanced prototypes, such as a faster, cheaper fingerprint identification system.

Underground Tunnel Detection

Using Radar to Discover and Disrupt Illegal Passages

or decades, narcotics smugglers, illegal immigrants, and potential terrorists have used hard-todetect tunnels to cross the U.S.Mexico border. Over the last three years, however, our researchers devised an innovative sensor system that finds these tunnels by hunting them underground, rather than searching from above. The system uses a robot crawler that carries a radar antenna through a horizontal borehole, searching for signals that might indicate a smugglers tunnel. In 2011, the DHS Science & Technology Border and Maritime Division awarded MITRE a contract to develop modeling and simulation tools and a system methodology for developing an advanced capability to detect

clandestine tunnels. Our staff conducts fundamental research and explores the technical integration methods needed to accelerate the delivery of commercial tunnel-detection systems. MITRE also provides technical management, systems engineering guidance, sensor performance analysis, geophysical models, sensor simulation, and sensor and algorithm development. As featured in such magazines as Wired and Homeland Security Today, the work also shows promise for other government organizations, including the Department of Defense.

DHS introduced a draft of the paper at an interagency forum on cybersecurity co-hosted by DHS and the White House; MITRE was the only non-governmental organization to take part. The paper articulates DHSs vision of the cyber ecosystem of the future, where industry, academia, and government collaborate to predict likely attacks, limit their spread, and minimize their consequences. Today, we are helping DHS to further discussion and build consensus across government agencies on adoption of cybersecurity best practices, standards, and technologies.

The new Internet Protocol is more flexible, manages data transmission with greater efficiency, and can accommodate a nearly infinite number of new users. In 2011, we worked with DHS to formulate a strategy for its phased transition to IPv6. Drawing on earlier guidance we provided to the DoD and U.S. Courts, MITRE is collaborating with DHS on a start-to-finish transition blueprint. We participated extensively in World IPv6 Dayan international event that allowed organizations to test their Web infrastructures using the new standardand the revamped DHS sites functioned exactly as designed.

Responding to Evolving Civil Sector Challenges

MITRE has long served as a key partner to help government adopt technology to meet mission needs. However, the greater challenge involves rethinking business models, taking on new mission responsibilities, and changing management and governance approaches. Our focus has evolved as well, applying technical expertise and analytic methods to help agencies meet public expectations. In 2011, this involvement included work on implementing the new healthcare and financial oversight laws, improving tax processing, moving homeless veterans toward renewed lives, and modernizing the U.S. Courts systems.
Government as Integrator

Improving Systems Integration Capabilities in Civil Agencies

and implement new legislative requirements. A leading example of this greater government capability is the Internal Revenue Service. Over the past two years, the IRS, with our assistance, put into practice new engineering and integration capabilities on the CADE 2 program, which transforms the management of individual taxpayer accounts and greatly accelerates return and refund processing. As a result, the IRS has delivered initial CADE 2 capabilities as planned, and the GAO recently recognized it as one of several well-run federal acquisition programs. Through efforts to enhance civilian agency systems engineering capabilities, we are helping the IRS and other agencies successfully adopt IT and effectively use taxpayer funds.

o assist agencies in achieving objectives for public service, MITRE is helping sponsors operate as their own systems integrators for key revenue, tax, and benefits administration programs. Over the last decade, these agencies have been modernizing their systems using MITRE for specialized engineering expertise and acquisition or source-selection support. As these large and complex systems evolveespecially when integrating new and legacy systemsit is challenging for agencies to oversee the work, stay within budget and schedule, and deliver effectively integrated solutions. On several programs, we are helping sponsors succeed in the integration role, engineer better technical solutions, deliver new IT-enabled business capabilities,

help on EVH. In 2011, an EVH statistical model was developed to demonstrate what effect changes to the EVH budget have on efforts to assist the homeless veteran population, leading to valuable new insight into resource requirements and program interactions for VA. Statistics released in late 2011 by VA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development show that the EVH program is already beginning to demonstrate modest, positive resultswith homelessness among veterans declining nationally by nearly 12 percent. As the initiative grows and reaches increasing numbers of veterans, MITRE will continue to provide strategic support to further VAs progress in this crucial mission.

Eliminating Veteran Homelessness

Connecting a Deserving Population with the Right Resources

The longstanding problem of homelessness among our nations veterans arises from complex factors, including the economy, the availability of safe affordable housing, and the physical and mental health of the veterans themselves. Nevertheless, the Department of Veterans Affairs is committed to ending homelessness among veterans by 2015. VAs initiative, Eliminating Veteran Homelessness (EVH), will help veterans acquire needed services, such as safe housing, healthcare treatment and support services, opportunities to return to employment, and benefits assistance.

Healthcare Transformation

Taking a Systems-Based Approach to the Challenges of Healthcare Delivery

Our nations healthcare sector is fragmented, costs are climbing, patient outcomes arent as good as they should be, and the promise of health IT is only beginning to be fulfilled. In addition to our support to the new Affordable Care Act, MITRE works in numerous ways to transform our nations healthcare system through technology-based solutions. In 2011, we made strides in several areas of critical importance to the federal government, including fostering the development of interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) and furthering the meaningful use of health IT to measure quality of care as it relates to patient outcomes. Our popHealth is an opensource tool that is now making it easier for healthcare providers to integrate EHRs into their practices and report crucial quality data to the government.

As a result, hData has become a much-needed resource for software developers to create interoperable, secure medical records for the healthcare community.

and operating domains, define and build new system architectures and technologies, integrate with legacy systems, establish new organizations and services, and connect with new stakeholders and partners. Officials from both agencies, along with MITRE, developed a concept of operations to establish a common understanding of the Insurance Exchange functions and the information flow among HHS, IRS, the Social Security Administration, states, employers, and insurers. The MITRE team is supporting both agencies efforts to define the challenges and craft a shared strategic solution for implementing ACA.

Affordable Care Act

Implementing a Game-Changing Law Across Agencies

The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, requires a large-scale, coordinated effort by two federal agencies to implement historic legislation expanding health insurance access to millions of Americans. A MITRE team is working with the IRS and HHS as they design and build a programintegrated with the states and other federal agenciesto support a complex process delivering private health insurance coverage to the public through Insurance Exchanges. In an atmosphere of shrinking budgets, heightened political scrutiny, and aggressive timelines, these agencies face highly complex and entirely new challenges with ACA. The IRS and HHS must align new business

From Our Sponsors

MITRE has been a terrific partner in helping CMS achieve key milestones in defining and architecting the new Insurance Exchanges, as well as redefining our delivery of IT services within the agency and HHS health domains. I look forward to continuing our strong relationship as we move forward in 2012. Henry Chao, Deputy CIO and Deputy Director, Office of Information Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Taking the Long View

Challenges come in all forms. Some need a rapid response, while others require time for technology to mature and the true nature of problems to play out. MITRE has the perspective to make this distinction and take action accordingly because the governments mission, not market forces, drives us. We share knowledge borne of practical experience and help our country confront enduring challengesin areas as diverse as promoting science education to finding innovative ways to collaborate across boundaries.

MITRE-Harvard Nanoprocessor

Lightening the Warfighters Load with Nanotechnology

ts a familiar sight: warfighters traversing rugged terrain, bent over under huge backpacks, carrying electronic equipment piled high over their heads. MITRE wants to help reduce the size of their hightech equipment and shrink the power needed to run it. That quest achieved a breakthrough in 2011 with the introduction of the worlds first programmable nanoprocessor. As announced in the international journal Nature, a collaboration between MITRE and Harvard University demonstrated how complex computer circuits can be built from ultra-tiny components called nanowires. The nanoprocessor is the culmination of many years of teamwork between our Nanosystems Group and Harvard. Shrinking the size and weight of electronic systems will ultimately have a real impact not just for warfighters on foot, but for those aboard tanks, ships, planes, and armored vehicles. This innovation shows great promise for non-military applications as well, such as tiny medical devices.

The MITRE Challenge

Catalyzing Worldwide Collaboration for Critical Issues

In spring 2011, MITRE issued a challenge to the global technical community: compare two lists of multicultural names and then produce matches for each name. It was a test of a component of identity matching, which involves measuring the similarity of database records relating to people. Identity matching has multiple uses, such as verifying Social Security records, screening airline passengers against watch lists, or reuniting families after natural disasters. Our goal: tap into the best and brightest on behalf of our government sponsors. Participants of all typesfrom graduate students to scientists at Fortune 500 companiesresponded to what we labeled the MITRE Challenge. For nine months, staff from our Identity Matching Lab encouraged competition and posted teams results on a public leaderboard. In total, 40 teams from around the world produced 3,276 different submissions, with the most improved team driving its performance up 79 points on a scale of 100. We revealed the names of the top performing teams at a technical exchange meeting attended by several government agencies in October. Since then, other government organizations have asked MITRE to brief them on the potential for such competitions, and planning for future challenges is under way.

Topics range from classical systems engineering building blocks, like system design and development, to the emerging discipline of engineering informationintensive enterprises. Rather than promoting a specific product or technology, the articles focus on getting the job done right by using all the facets of systems engineeringincluding technical, organizational, and economic factors. We add new documents to the SEG frequently, and the public can access it at no charge at www.mitre.org/seg.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

Laying the Foundation for the Workforce of the Future

MITRE Systems Engineering Guide

Contributing a Body of Knowledge to the Technical Community

For more than 50 years, we have applied systems engineering expertise to complex government challenges. In 2011, we published an online collection, the MITRE Systems Engineering Guide (SEG), which allows us to share real-world lessons gathered over time and often unavailable in textbooks. The SEG represents the collected wisdom of 130 MITRE technical staff, as well as other thought leaders in the field.

U.S. colleges have seen a decline in the number of students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors over the last decade. Through a variety of STEM activities, our employees are working to reverse the trend. In 2011, MITRE provided technical opportunities to hundreds of promising students, helping them become the technology innovators of tomorrow. At our Tampa and Colorado Springs offices, for example, dozens of students are developing the skills and expertise needed to be knowledgeable cybersecurity

specialists. Through our longstanding Student Program, we hire exceptional students from high schools and colleges across the country to serve as summer technical aides and to participate in cutting-edge nanotechnology research. And to boost advanced studies, MITRE is a leader in the National GEM Consortium, a nonprofit that helps top minority students pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields.

Advanced Cyber Security Center

The ACSC is the first cross-sector consortium in the nation devoted to tackling the complexities of cybersecurity through regional collaboration. MITRE provides space and other resources for the ACSC, which Mass Insight Global Partnerships manages. Even before the kick-off, we created the Cyber Threat Information Portal, a secure, virtual environment for ACSC members. Other plans for the center include working with educational institutions to train an effective cyber workforce and developing cyber-focused research partnerships between major universities and industry laboratories in New England.

Launching a New Model for Cross-Sector Collaboration

Removing barriers to information sharing for solving complex problems requires new and innovative approaches. We have been working with others to develop such an approach to defeating cyber threats through the creation of the Advanced Cyber Security Center (ACSC). In September 2011, more than 200 leaders from government, industry, and academia joined us on our Bedford campus to launch the center. Featured speakers included the governor and attorney general of Massachusetts, as well as the DHS director of cybersecurity coordination.

What the Governor Says

The Advanced Cyber Security Center will serve as a model for others to follow on how to solve critical problems across our state, our region, and our nation. With the centers cross-sector collaboration opportunities, we can work across disciplines, across industries, across academia and government. Thats why Im so excited to be part of the ACSCs launch. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, speaking at the centers inaugural event.

Inside MITRE
Knowledge Management as a Powerful Engine for Collaboration

he knowledge and work products of our employees, past and present, are some of the companys greatest assets, and we go to great lengths to maximize their value through sharing, both inside and outside the companys walls. At MITRE, knowledge management, or KM, isnt compartmentalized or separated from our daily work. Rather, it is a continuous thread that underlies our activities, enhances our ability to collaborate, and affects our choices for corporate infrastructure and communications systems. Why is knowledge management so important to us? At MITRE, we believe KM supports our ability to serve the customer and enable an adaptive and innovative learning environment. For example, many of our sponsors rely on us to provide the historical context and ongoing support for projects that may last yearseven decadessuch as AWACS or the Link 16 tactical data link. We follow rigorous processes to preserve and transfer often-irreplaceable information from one generation of our staff and sponsor representatives to the next. Our state-of-the-art social software tool, Handshake, promotes secure collaboration between our employees and our partners in government, industry, and

academia. Handshake, which has been honored with an Intranet Innovation Award, promotes rapid interactions among individuals and groups in a format that allows for the retention and reuse of shared solutions. We also encourage and recognize employee ideas that promote knowledge sharing. For example, a MITRE employee developed a cyber-analysis training curriculum, initially for internal use, that is now available through the Internet to the broader cybersecurity community. In both 2009 and 2011, the KNOW Network named us one of its Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises. But even with such honors, KM is never done at MITREthere are always better ways to manage information and promote collaboration. One such initiative, Project Pages, helps us consolidate important programmatic information and associated work products in one location for all project team members to use. We also invested in infrastructure upgrades in 2011 to make it easier for staff to work together in support of our sponsors. For instance, we established collaboration covessmall, flexible video-teleconferencing and collaborative workspacesthat enable teams to conduct impromptu informationsharing and brainstorming sessions.

Honoring Our Nations Warfighters and Veterans

We encourage staff to take an active interest in civic and community affairs, and they respond by devoting time and resources to a range of causes. One cause especially close to our hearts is support to individuals in uniformin theater and back home. Our employees have found a variety of ways to give back to these brave men and women. For example, Suits for Vets, founded at MITRE in 2004, has collected more than $60,000 for new business attire for wounded warriors returning to the workforce. Since 2007, volunteers have organized a Summer Troop Care Package Drive to gather and send care packages to American troops worldwide. The Air Force honored this generosity by presenting us with a flag flown in Iraq in remembrance of 9/11. And more than 20 MITRE volunteers played a supporting role at a recent VA for Vets Career Fair and Expo, an event to help veterans launch the next phase of their careers.
