LYNXeon referenced in CTTSO 2009 Review Book

21CT's advanced analytics platform, LYNXeonTM, is referenced in the 2009 CTTSO Review Book.

This annual review book. published by the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), highlights a few of the new technologies and resources that are improving the effectiveness of military and civilian security forces, law enforcement officials, bomb squads, training instructors, and a host of other individuals who have a single-minded purpose and defined mission to prevent or respond to acts of terrorism.

For over twenty years, the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG), and now the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), has provided a needed forum for the development and delivery of technologies and capabilities for both antiterrorism and counterterrorism-defensive measures against attacks and direct action against terrorists which make people safer and finding and neutralizing terrorists easier.

The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) is charged with providing a forum for interagency and international users to discuss mission requirements to combat terrorism, prioritize those requirements, fund and manage solutions, and deliver capabilities. CTTSO accomplishes these objectives through rapid prototyping of novel solutions developed and field-tested before the traditional acquisition systems are fully engaged. This low-risk approach encourages interdepartmental and interagency collaboration, thereby reducing duplication, eliminating capability gaps, and stretching development dollars.

LYNXeon Description, as listed on page 41, under Organizational Structures Recognition

Combating terrorist networks in the information age is increasingly difficult. The exponential increase in the availability of data requires not only a new perspective on the data collection, but also the management and evaluation of the data to identify terrorist networks. To simplify and accelerate the tedious process of intelligence data management, exploitation and analysis, 21st Century Technologies developed the LYNXeon platform technology, which acts as a force multiplier for the intelligence analyst. The automated software system is for network detection, tracking, and analysis and will enable analysts to leverage the capabilities of the LYNXeon platform to develop and demonstrate an interactive and flexible analytic tool capable of scalable and flexible graph query and analysis. The tool finds and displays pertinent activities and relationships of groups and individuals. The current Graphical User Interface enables analysts to explore, visualize, and geospatially represent graph query and analytical results with unclassified, simulated data; however, the project will focus on analyzing classified data in the next phase prior to delivery of a prototype.
