Analytic System for Innovation Discovery and Commercialization of Solutions to Enhance Homeland Security
Abstract
CIT proposes to develop a prototype and test an Advanced Analytic system to enhance the discovery of innovative technologies suitable for commercialization to support first responders and cybersecurity practitioners. This prototyping effort is envisioned as the first phase of a multi-phase joint applied research/development effort with the USAFA Center of Innovation to increase the probability of success for innovative technology prototypes and solutions intended to enhance Homeland Security. For a variety of reasons, emergency responders and cybersecurity practitioners are not well served by the current innovation pipeline. Some of these reasons include a highly fragmented and localized market, disconnects between innovators and the companies that mediate market access, and difficulty achieving commercial economies of scale in a tight government budget environment. Our applied research thesis is that an active process of proactive and innovative technology discovery, combined with targeted prototypes, new venture acceleration and a clearinghouse model for market aggregation will be highly disruptive to the current inefficient market processes and will bring about rapid introduction of new innovative technologies for responders.
