Raytheon is helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal JusticeInformation Services Division to put powerful, yet simple-to-use,information sharing capabilities in the hands of law enforcement agenciesnationwide. Dramatically enhancing public safety, the National DataExchange (N-DEx) system will enable federal, state, local and tribal agenciesacross the country to effectively work together with actionable informationto help fight crime and prevent terrorism. From incident reports toincarceration data, N-DEx gives users an easy way to search, link, analyzeand share criminal justice data on a national basis in ways never beforepossible.

As the prime contractor and systems integrator, our support for N-DExincludes the design, development, engineering and implementation of theN-DEx system, as well as user support, operations and maintenance. Whencomplete, the system will enable up to 200,000 investigators in 18,000federal, state, local and tribal enforcement agencies to collect and shareincident and investigative information. Users are estimated to make about 6million queries a day through the system — moving key investigativeinformation across disparate systems and jurisdiction boundaries, and intothe hands of those who need to know.

Key Features and Benefits

FBI N-DExSharing Critical Information to Fight Crime and Terrorism

Increment 1Raytheon successfully completed and deployed Increment 1 in March 2008, establishing a single point of integration and discovery for national criminal justice information. Up to 50,000 users will be able to capture case data and conduct entity resolution on incidents and arrest data, correlating the data to result in the identification of candidates for consideration.

Increment 2This increment will provide subscription and notification,geovisualization and collaboration capabilities and will includeadditional data sources. Increment 2 increases users of the systemto 100,000, by integrating additional law enforcement agencies,including additional federal agencies.

Increment 3The final increment will provide a completed system for 200,000users, with a comprehensive set of web services to facilitatenavigation and usability. Enhancements to the correlation andvisualization tools help users detect crime networks, patterns, andtrends. This phase completes the N-DEx vision by giving ubiquitousand seamless access to the entire law enforcement community.

A Nationwide Partnershipto Fight Crime

The September 11 attacks drovehome the importance of infor-mation sharing in law enforce-ment and national security. Thedeployment of N-DEx marks thefirst time in U.S. history thatfederal, state, local and tribalcriminal data has been openlyshared.

Although law enforcement is theinitial focus, N-DEx futureiterations will incorporate thelarger criminal justice communitysuch as courts, probationagencies, parole boards, andprisons. The FBI’s ultimate goal isto transform all available criminaljustice data into knowledge forthe entire justice community. Thefoundation of the N-DEx solutionsupports the long-term vision ofinformation sharing across awider set of agencies andboundaries. This vision willevolve as N-DEx is implemented,but it establishes a larger frame-work within which to explore abroader law enforce-mentinformation sharing strategy. Ouropen, scalable, standards-basedarchitecture provides a flexibleand expandable N-DEx systemthat meets the long-term require-ments necessary for FBI toprovide efficient, cost-effectivesupport for the law enforcementcommunity now and in thefuture.

Working together with the FBI and theend user community, Raytheon isdeveloping and deploying N-DEx toprovide a nationwide capability to sharecritical criminal data, and provide newinvestigative tools that enhance theNation’s ability to fight crime andterrorism. Our architecture solution willgive the law-enforcement communityintuitive ways to rapidly search andvisualize data, new insights into thedata’s non-obvious relationships, andeasy ways to collaborate as virtualinvestigative teams. While supportingthe information sharing needs of alllevels of law enforcement, N-DEx will

ensure security and protect privacy inthe handling, storing and sharing ofsensitive incident-based information.

The N-DEx system is being developedand deployed incrementally consistentwith functional, operational andtechnical priorities. Each phase resultsin a unique, discernable service, orcapability. Our approach is driven bythe desire to offer as much capability aspossible without added risk, and toengage the law enforcement usercommunity throughout thedevelopment process to ensure N-DExmeets their information sharing needs.
