The SWBSADIS program effort involves the secure exchange of multimedia criminal intelligence information between heterogeneous databases across State and Federal agency administrative boundaries. The following protocols and technologies are employed: X.400 Message Handling System, X.500 Directory Services, Frame Relay, TCP/IP, X/Motif, public key infrastructures, secure architectures, firewalls, heterogeneous databases, distributed processing, and multi-platform support. The next generation of the SWBSADIS will be built on a secure Internet model utilizing virtual private networks, S/MIME email, Extensible Markup Language (XML) content, and secure Web-based transaction processing front-ends.

The State of Georgia Public-key Infrastructure (GPKI) project entails the development of a conceptual model, the policy framework, and the technology infrastructure necessary for implementing and operating an open PKI necessary to foster electronic commerce in the state of Georgia. The project includes the development of a Target Architecture and Implementation Strategy and a series of prototypes and pilots necessary to validate and demonstrate the approach.

Served as director for the J2 Intelligence Automation Architecture Plan (JIAAP) implementation. This effort involved the implementation of a secure LAN satisfying the functional and security requirements for the J2 Directorate of Intelligence. In this capacity he served as technical advisor to the FORSCOM J2 Intelligence Automation Architecture Planning committee, providing technical direction to the committee regarding open systems architecture and secure networking.

Provided overall technical direction for the secure open systems communications architecture for a multi-million dollar Army program, FORSCOM Automated Intelligence Support System (FAISS). This effort required an understanding of multi-level security (MLS), Compartmented Mode Workstation (CMW) technologies as well as standards such as GOSIP and POSIX, and the existing TCP/IP based architecture of the Defense Data Network (DDN).

Conducted assessments of COTS X.400/X.500 technology to satisfy the message handling requirements of the Defense Message System (DMS) for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The DMS program's objective is to implement a DOD-wide comprehensive secure messaging capability to supplement and eventually replace the existing DDN SMTP e-mail and AUTODIN capability.

Supported the Roving Sands Joint Service Air Defense exercise in the desert of New Mexico and Arizona by providing systems integration expertise necessary to implement a data communications capability with existing military equipment and selected COTS products.

As an Air Force officer, was responsible for the development and maintenance of eight Air Force wide distributed software systems supporting the mission of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training (AFROTC) and the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). Gained substantial experience in the area of computer networking and communication systems by serving as the 1973d CG liaison to the Defense Data Network Project Management Office as well as being the architect and developer of Gateway Server (GSERV) microcomputer to mainframe inter-process communications software.

Open systems architecture; secure information systems, software engineering, law enforcement technologies, computer networking and communications systems, distributed processing, and systems integration.
