4. ABOUT THE CSC GRANTS PROGRAM Throughout CSC’s history, our people have been known for their ability to see new uses and applications of technology. Our scientists and technologists have often gone beyond their jobs to explore new ideas, developing breakthrough innovations that have changed the company, the discipline as a whole and their own careers. Recognizing the benefits of “greenfield” research for the marketplace, the individual and the company, the Leading Edge Forum (LEF) created a formal program in 2000 to build on our culture of innovation by giving employees a structured opportunity to explore a technology topic or solution that is gaining momentum in the market but does not yet have broad exposure within CSC. Today, in keeping with our focus to be the leading next-generation technology solutions and services provider, the CSC Grants program encompasses industry specific applications, business process services, consulting and next-generation infrastructure that pro- mote innovation and value for our clients. The LEF provides funds to grant recipients to explore business and technology areas that have strategic implications for market solutions, both near term and long term. By requiring recipients to share their results in a way that can be disseminated throughout the company, we ensure that the Grants program has a deep and wide impact that touches our everyday work for clients worldwide.

6. Android as an Army Platform Robert Donnelly About the Grant Recipient Dr. Bob Donnelly is a Systems Engineer in CSC’s Defense Group’s Ground Division, supporting U.S. Army customers. He has applied knowledge of systems engineering to integration frameworks and field experimentation, enabling interoperability of command, control, communications, computers, Iintelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. His most recent assignment is for Program Executive Office Command Control Communications – Tactical (PEO C3T) in its support of the Army’s Network Integrated Evaluation (NIE), part of an agile systems engineering process that assesses capabilities in an operational environment and reduces risk in controlled laboratory tests. This is Bob’s second LEF grant. The first evaluated embedded Linux as a mobile platform and provided the basis for CSC’s role as software lead for Land Warrior, a wearable system for the soldier. The current grant work enables comparisons of such special-purpose systems and Android-based devices. Bob started with CSC in support of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, providing middleware for NASA’s Deep Space Network. This triggered Bob’s interest in application performance over satellite and tactical radios, which continues in his Army support. The Defense Group Fellows Program enabled Bob to present this work at industry conferences the last three years.
