STARTLED INTO ACTION
A biologically-inspired threat monitoring system called
STARTLE detects anomalous or threatening conditions by
emulating the mammalian conditioned-fear response
mechanism. It provides a mechanism of cued-attention which
has significant performance and efficiency benefits over
Applications for STARTLE include:
STARTLE can provide enhanced situational awareness and
an early threat warning to both an autonomous vehicle and
its remote operator. Making use of existing hardware,
STARTLE intelligently processes information from multiple
onboard sensors, cueing systems to assess and confirm
potential threats to the vehicle.
Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS)
The threat detection methods in STARTLE also make it
ideal for the detection of anomalous subsystem conditions
within a complex system; for example, in internal system
status monitoring of manned or autonomous platforms.
Computer Network Defense
STARTLE can be used for the detection of sophisticated
computer network threats. It has been demonstrated
successfully in detecting penetration test activity in real world
computer networks, and can use intercept-derived data from
local and cloud-based storage.
