Overview
The RTI International Center for Advanced Network Research has an experienced team of cleared professionals with a range of skills covering chip, hardware, and software design of experimental and proof-of-concept systems for DoD customers including DARPA, ARDA, and the NSA. We have a strong track record of innovation, publication, and technology transfer. Technology transfer has ranged from insertion of systems into government lab use and insertion of systems in theater, to commercialization of research results. Our R&D efforts have tended to center around two themes, information assurance solutions and applications of communications protocols.

Our information assurance research and development experience includes intrusion detection systems, intrusion tolerant systems, insider attack detection, cryptographic applications, distributed systems, identity management, and access control.

Our work in communications protocols research and development has emphasized Internet and optical network applications, including connection control, ad hoc systems, fault-tolerant communications, secure transactions, distributed systems, and high performance (hardware and software) wire-speed solutions.

The skill set for the team is wide ranging and includes:

• full custom chip design with emphasis on hybrid digital analog systems; high voltage; MEMS drivers; and logic, 3D stack-up applications
• full custom hardware design and development including network systems and interfaces (including fiber optic systems and performance acceleration devices for security functions, such as intrusion detection algorithms)
• software design and development in Linux environments with substantial depth in C++, Java, hardware-software interfaces, embedded systems, and real-time systems.
