| Information dissemination and information assurance (IA) are key programmatic elements in 21st century weapons systems programs, such as Future Combat System (FCS). The deployment of these systems depends on the availability, integrity and accuracy of information delivered by Department of Defense (DoD) operational networks, in specific the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG). Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the basis of information transport technology throughout the DoD GIG. The next generation of Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), provides numerous enhancements to IPv4 and its associated services, among them enhanced security mechanisms. | |||
| Mr. Dunn joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1987, where he became the Global Grid (now Global Information Grid) project manager and chief scientist. His accomplishments during that period include the development of numerical models of IP network performance based on non-linear and spectral analysis techniques. Mr. Dunn’s credentials include authoring 4 IETF RFC’s in Benchmarking and Test Methodologies. He has published 3 Bell Lab Technical Journal Articles Test Methodologies, Security Mechanisms, and IP QoS. He also published articles in the areas of numerical models and simulation. Mr. Dunn has a B.A. in Physics from Johns Hopkins University. | |||
