MDM – Owl Computing Technologies
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014Owl Computing Technologies was created in 1998 to offer One-Way Transfer Links (OWL). Their latest implementation is their dual diode technology.
They use a hardened security infrastructure (card) to share data one-way, across domains, for example, low-side to high-side. It takes the old, copy to external disc, air gap, out of the equation, lowering risk to unauthorized disclosure of data via errant USB thumb drives. It also makes for faster access to data from different networks for analysis and fusion.
At the Soldier level, it ensures only certain information to be shared via a network such as heart rate monitor telemetry, GPS data or video. Other data streams could be shared via other networks.

MDM – Marathon Targets
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014Marathon Targets offers smart targets for Live-Fire training. These autonomous, wheeled targets offer the ability to engage moving targets. Think of it as a four-in-one system. It can be used as a stationary target, pop-up target, left to right movers or autonomous moving targets.
The targets incorporate speakers and can move up to 12 mph on puncture proof tires. When properly engaged it works as a pop-up target and will go down which is programmable for the number of shots in the torso/head as well as how long it remains down. The most interesting aspect of the target is that when used in conjunction with one another, if one is successfully engaged, the others can be configured to scatter.
