Most Recent Technical Papers

Technical Paper | October 2013 Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is? Timing is vitally important to North American power grid operations. This research focuses specifically on timing provided by GPS and covers four topics in relation to the power grid.

Technical Paper | September 2013 Exploring Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Milling as a Group III-V Device Fabrication Tool The studies reported here were carried out in order to explore the potential applications of cryogenic focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling as a Group III-V device fabrication tool.

Technical Paper | September 2013 Geophysical and Operational System Performance Tool for the Detection of Clandestine Tunnels: Enhancement and Case Studies Clandestine tunnels in the southwest border are a growing concern for national security. DHS’s Science and Technology Directorate is leading the development of a tool to assist technology acquisition, mission planning, and sensor performance assessment.

Technical Paper | September 2013 Spectrum Markets and Sharing via Spectrum Consumption Models This paper presents and discusses how spectrum consumption modeling (SCM) can enable spectrum sharing, and MITRE's initial research in establishing the techno-economic basis for the use of SCM in spectrum trading markets.

Technical Paper | August 2013 Formal Modeling of Diffie-Hellman Derivability for Exploratory Automated Analysis In this paper, we compare several models that capture the Diffie-Hellman protocol, with the aim of identifying a model that is both well-suited for automated protocol analysis.

Technical Paper | August 2013 A Monte Carlo Simulation for Evaluating Airborne Collision Risk in Intersecting Runways An analyst may use MITRE's Intersecting Operations simulation model to develop a strategy that mitigates unacceptable risk by ensuring that aircraft avoid situations more likely to result in a midair collision

Technical Paper | August 2013 Evaluation of Pilot and Air Traffic Controller Use of Third Party Call Sign in Voice Communications with Pilot Utilization of Cockpit Display of Traffic Information Using these “third party call signs” (TPCS) to talk about (rather than talking to) other aircraft on the same frequency introduces a potential for confusion for controllers and pilots. The simulation evaluates TPCS voice communications alternatives.

Technical Paper | July 2013 Fit for Purpose: Engineering Principles for Selecting an Appropriate Type of Data Exchange Standard Data standards are a powerful, real-world tool for enterprise interoperability, yet there exists no well-grounded methodology for selecting among alternative standards approaches.

Technical Paper | June 2013 Intended Effects of Cyber Resiliency Techniques on Adversary Activities Evidence and analysis are needed to determine whether, how, and to what extent architectural and operational decisions have an effect on cyber adversary behavior.

Technical Paper | June 2013 Modeling and Simulation of a Ground Based Sense and Avoid Architecture for Unmanned Aircraft System Operations The safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System necessitates a capability to sense and avoid other airborne objects.

Technical Paper | June 2013 XML Risks and Mitigations The material in these slides cover many of the basic security considerations of XML.

Technical Paper | May 2013 Cyber Resiliency Assessment: Enabling Architectural Improvement Cyber resiliency assessments are intended to identify where, how, and when cyber resiliency techniques can be applied to improve architectural resiliency against advanced cyber threats.

Technical Paper | May 2013 Measuring Non-Zero Syndromes Quantum error correction codes are designed to identify and locate errors such that they can be properly corrected by recovery operations.

Technical Paper | May 2013 Progress and Promise: Research and Engineering for Human Sociocultural Behavior Capability in the U.S. Department of Defense Progress and Promise is an update on defense-sponsored sociocultural behavior modeling research and engineering from 2008 through 2013.

Technical Paper | May 2013 The MITRE Tactical Channel Emulation System We present a robust solution to the problem of predicting and evaluating the performance of fielded tactical radios.

Technical Paper | April 2013 Active Learning with a Human In The Loop Text annotation is an expensive pre-requisite for applying data-driven natural language processing techniques to new datasets.

Technical Paper | April 2013 Analysis of Aircraft Lateral Path Tracking Accuracy and its Implications for Separation Standards Application of Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) to aircraft separation continues to be a point of difficulty which frequently centers on defining statistical models for Performance-Based Navigation (PBN).

Technical Paper | April 2013 Evaluating Detection and Estimation Capabilities of Magnetometer-Based Vehicle Sensors In an effort to secure the northern and southern U.S. borders, MITRE has been tasked with developing Modeling and Simulation tools for surveillance systems deployed by the Customs and Border Protection Office of Technology Innovations and Acquisitions.

Technical Paper | April 2013 How Often Must Quantum Error Correction be Implemented? Correcting errors is a vital but expensive component of fault tolerant quantum computation.

Technical Paper | April 2013 Implementation Recommendations for MOSAIC: A Workflow Architecture for Analytic Enrichment This is a companion document to MOSAIC: A Workflow Architecture for Analytic Enrichment that describes the current need for integration of document analytics and a general approach to solving this problem.
