Home Innovation Technologies

This battlefield PDA has been designed not only for difficult Mil-Spec conditions, but it also embodies classified technologies to ensure security.

At Applied Data, we build FIPS, CC and higher levels of security into our products for government and industry customers. Our systems have been used for applications as sensitive as targeting control, as vital as supply chain control for weapons, and for applications secret enough to manage black crypto key distribution. Some of these systems have become GOTS (Government Off-The-Shelf) devices. So many of our systems have been used in Federal markets that our success has twice placed ADS on the Washington Post "Fast 50" for most rapidly growing DC metro technology companies.

We count among our customers many of the national agencies responsible for security, and most of the general contractors/integrators who provide secure systems. Our location on the Washington Beltway just west of Fort Meade gives us fast and easy access to many of the parties involved in secure system programs. Some of our specialists sit on government-industry committees to define Common Criteria requirements for the future. We are part of the security community, and able to quickly assemble a consortium of qualified firms with security clearances to provide, test and certify a secure system built to customer specification.

At Applied Data, security blankets both hardware and software design. We integrate special bootstrap loaders, secure drivers, crypto cards and other features to meet our customer's requirements. Our systems have been built to exacting FIPS (Federal Information Protection Security) and CC (Common Criteria) standards and have even been built with special hardware adaptations to provide TEMPEST security.

With the help of qualified third party software suppliers, we offer secure solutions for Debian Linux, Windows CE QNX, Wind River and Green Hills Software based systems. All this is done with U.S. Nationals under ISO controlled process, with locked-down software development, and, as required, third-party testing.
