INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

(U)The Information and Communications Technology program element is budgeted in the applied research budget activity because it is directed toward the application of advanced, innovative computing systems and communications technologies. (U)The High Productivity, High-Performance Responsive Architectures project is developing high-productivity, high-performance computing hardware and the associated software technology base required to support future critical national security needs for computationally-intensive and data-intensive applications. These technologies will lead to new multi-generation product lines of commercially viable, sustainable computing systems for a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering applications; it will include both supercomputer and embedded computing systems. (U)The Information Assurance and Survivability project is developing the technology required to make emerging information system capabilities (such as wireless and mobile code/mobile systems) inherently secure, and to protect DoD's mission-critical systems against attack upon or through the supporting information infrastructure. These technologies will enable our critical systems to provide continuous correct operation even when they are attacked, and will lead to generations of stronger protection, higher performance, and more cost-effective security and survivability solutions scalable to several thousand sites. (U)The Language Translation project will develop and test powerful new Human Language Technology that will provide critical capabilities for a wide range of national security needs. This technology will enable systems to a) automatically translate and exploit large volumes of speech and text in multiple languages obtained through a variety of means; b) to have two-way (foreign-language-to-English and English-to-foreign-language) translation; c) enable automated transcription and translation of foreign speech and text along with content summarization; and d) enable exploitation of captured, foreign language hard-copy documents.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2011
• Source ID: 0602303E_2_0400_PB_2011
• Change Summary Explanation: FY 2009 Decrease reflects transfer of the "National Repository of Digital Forensic Intelligence/Center for Telecommunications and Network Security" congressional add to RDT&E, Air Force account, the Section 8042 rescission of the FY 2010 Appropriation Act, SBIR/STTR transfer and internal below threshold reprogramming. FY 2010 Decrease reflects reductions for the Section 8097 Economic Assumption, execution delays and FY 2010 new starts offset by congressional adds (as identified above) and FY 2010 Congressional Restoration for New Starts. FY 2011 Not Applicable
