FBI Taps Raytheon for Info-Sharing System
Wilson P. Dizard III writes on GCN.com:
The FBI has awarded a contract to the Raytheon Co. of Waltham, Mass., to build out the National Data Exchange (N-Dex) law enforcement information-sharing system, sources said.More here.
According to a bureau official, FBI systems specialists expect to meet with their Raytheon counterparts within the next two weeks to plan the IT work leading up to the N-Dex system rollout.
N-Dex uses advanced information sharing that harmonizes data entered into various types of law enforcement systems for common search, acquisition and analysis. N-Dex acts as a counterpart to R-Dex, a regional data exchange system that provides a "pointer" to the location of specific information held by other law enforcement agencies.
Technical descriptions of the N-Dex project emphasize its use of standards such as the Global Justice XML Data Model and the National Information Exchange Model to foster information sharing.
