Collab9
FedRAMP-Authorized Unified Communications as a Service
Collab9 created a
secure, turnkey unified communications service that uses best-of-breed technology and top-tier data centers to help the federal government address the challenges associated with its outdated, expensive and inefficient communications infrastructure.
The company’s partners include Avaya, CenturyLink and Presidio, and the team has sent its offering through two Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program audits, ensuring that more than
325 security controls were validated.
The service was the first FedRAMP-authorized unified communications-as-a-service capability, with the Federal Communications Commission backing that authorization.
Engility
Synthetic Analyst and MetaSift
Engility is being recognized for two solutions: Synthetic Analyst is an internet-of- things solution that manages medical devices and increases the security of connected devices, and MetaSift assists the intelligence community in processing and analyzing the vast amounts of data it
collects and stores. That data can include high-resolutions videos, audio files and text documents across multiple platforms.
To develop MetaSift, Engility created the startup-like Nascent Technology Center within the company so it could draw on talented individuals across the organization and create disruptive solutions without putting intelligence customers at risk.
General Dynamics IT
MilCloud 2.0 and Navy SPAWAR Pacific Cloud Brokerage
General Dynamics IT has earned recognition for two cloud-related projects. MilCloud 2.0 was launched as the military sought to better manage the sprawl of its more than 3,000 data centers and remove a roadblock
to IT modernization. The company and its partners are improving server architecture
and storage technologies, and a GDIT-built test facility has been enhanced to evaluate emerging technologies more quickly. Some processes for provisioning infrastructure that previously took months now take just 30 minutes.
For the Navy’s Space
and Naval Warfare Systems Command, GDIT created a standardized framework for cloud adoption and a brokerage that supports 17 Navy warfare centers. The brokerage

CACI International
SkyTracker Product Suite
Commercially available unmanned aerial systems
pose a problem: Because they are readily available to
anyone, they present an ever-changing challenge to
national security, the national airspace and high-value
assets. There is a need for restricted airspace around
airports, buildings, critical infrastructure and stadiums. Firefighters and first responders also face issues with UAS-related interference.
CACI International has committed to finding solutions to those challenges. With
its 2013 acquisition of Six3 Systems, the company brought in new radio frequency technologies and capabilities, resulting in the launch of the highly successful SkyTracker counter-UAS product suite. To support continual development, the company has established manufacturing and testing facilities and entered into a cooperative research and development agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration to test the product at airports around the country.
SkyTracker exploits the radio communication link between small UAS and their controllers. The suite includes CACI’s CORIAN and AWAIR systems, which exploit that link to detect, identify and geolocate the drone and its operator. The systems can also use a variety of active techniques to disable drones and mitigate potential threats.
Key customers include the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, intelligence community, Army, Navy and Air Force.
