Empirical Knowledge Transfer and Collaboration
with SRS
Tom Bracewell QuickSilver Project Raytheon

Targeting QuickSilver to Defense Needs

• Raytheons key contributions to SRS
• Define military scenarios and critical
  performance metrics applicable to using
  QuickSilver in defense systems.
• Pursue Technology Transition to Navy Open
  Architecture, DD(X) and other defense programs.
• Look at Georgia Techs SRS Architecture Study
  from a military context.

Ricochet Scenario Generator

• Our scenario generator will let us evaluate
  Ricochet for a wide range of systems.

Cayuga Scenario for Net-Centric Warfare
Imagine a PDA that gives soldiers situation
awareness.

• 1000 5000 troops.
• Each troop emits 1 event/minute to report
  location.
• An insurgent event is created every hour.
• There are 10 troop areas, Iraqis are in one area.
• Troops and insurgents are uniformly distributed.

Many possible queries - for example Notify all
soldiers who are less than 5km downwind of a
chemical attack.
Concept was reviewed by Rear Adm. Tom Bush (ret.)
and Brig. Gen. Bill Engel (ret.).

Technology Transition

• Navy Open Architecture
• Service-Oriented Architecture for next-generation
  warships
• Time-critical services
• 300-400 nodes, fault tolerant
• DD(X) is first next-generation warship
• Raytheon is developing the DD(X) Total Ship
  Computing Environment
• DD(X) to evaluate Ricochet
• Need a scalable, reliable, low latency multicast
• The best COTS product is an order of magnitude
  too slow

Will continue to pursue technology transition as
more systems enter development phase
