2.8 Plan and Timeline
Phase I research will require only the resources supplied by UMBC and RLM Communications. Additional resources will be required in Phase II and those will need to be secured ahead of our Phase II timeline. In Phase I, the following timeline will be required to secure the stated resources:
3 The Innovation (1-3 Pages)
3.1 Description
A detailed description of our innovation is provided in the Technical Discussion and R&D Plan.
3.2 Technical Challenges and Risks
Challenges for this particular innovation exist in producing a viable product out of Phase I and Phase II research. As we collect information we will assess what the end product must look like in order for it to be produced for commercialization. Our objective and focus in Phase I will be to prove the concept by collecting and synthesizing data to assess predictive behaviors necessary to deploy the right indicators to the right locations at the right time. Once we have proven the concept, we will be able to truly assess the end product challenge.
3.3 Intellectual Property Intellectual Property rights and rights to any resultant patents will be retained by RLM. 3.4 NSF Lineage This project does not have roots in non-SBIR NSF Funding. 4 The Company/Team (1-3 Pages) 4.1 Founders and Key Participants RLM Communications, Inc. was founded 12 years ago by President and CEO, Mr. Randy Moore. Mr. Moore is a military retiree with diverse communications and technology experience. Throughout the past 12 years, RLM has provided advanced information technology solutions to commercial and federal customers from multiple federal agencies. RLM is a privately owned, certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Small Disadvantaged Business. The key participants in Phase I of this research project are Dr. Curtis Charles, Vice President of Research, Development and Innovation at RLM Communications. Dr. Charles conducted graduate research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which was supported by LaForet Engineering, Japan. In addition, Dr. Charles was the Founding Executive Director of the Center for Defense and Homeland Security (CDHS) at Fayetteville State University. The CDHS included 22 multidisciplinary faculty who conducted funded research (including for NSF) in Cyber Security threats; National Security challenges; Homeland Security/GIS; and STEM Education and Outreach. Through Dr. Charles’ expansive research network, CDHS faculty and students were selected to conduct research at national laboratories such as MIT Lincoln Lab and Oak Ridge National Lab, industry and federal agencies. For the past 25 years, Dr. Charles has worked as an Executive Consultant at IBM Global Services, and served the academy as a faculty, Department Chair, …show more content…
Specifically, we have built this business and focus by providing superior Cyber Services and Support; C5ISR Services and Support; IT Management Services and Support; and Professional Services and Support. Dr. Charles now leads our efforts to build and bring work to a Cyber, IA, IT, Intel and RD&I Center of Excellence on our 60-acre property in Spring Lake. Within the next five years, it is our goal to complete this build project and bring innovative research to this center through numerous partnerships, such as those with various Army research centers and universities like UMBC. Our revenue generation goal for the five-year time period is $100M, and the Cyber, IA, IT, Intel and RD&I Center of Excellence will be an increasingly important component of that growth, with this being the first project undertaken to that
