Among other efforts, Mitre maintains the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system and the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) project.[18] Since 1999, the MITRE Corporation functions as editor and primary CNA of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. CVE is now the industry standard for vulnerability and exposure names, providing reference points for data exchange so that information security products and services can interoperate with each other.

History[edit]

The Mitre Center at Mitre's campus in Bedford
Mitre building in McLean, Virginia

Under the leadership of Clair W. 'Hap' Halligan, Mitre was formed in 1958 to provide overall direction to the companies and workers involved in the U.S. Air ForceSAGE project. Although one may think the name is an acronym for 'MIT Research Establishment', the company attributes the name to James McCormack, a member of Mitre's first Board of Trustees: 'McCormack helped draft the charter and incorporate The MITRE Corporation in July 1958. He wanted a name that was meaningless and without connotations, but with an attractive feel. Some people thought the word MITRE was based on the word for joining or fitting together. Others believed the name came from combining industry names or keywords. McCormack, however, denied all of these explanations.'[3]

Most of the early employees were transferred to Mitre from the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where SAGE was being developed. In April 1959, a site was purchased in Bedford, Massachusetts, near Hanscom Air Force Base, to develop a new Mitre laboratory, which Mitre occupied in September 1959.[19]

After the SAGE project ended in the early 1960s, the FAA selected Mitre to develop a similar system to provide automated air traffic control. The project resulted in the formation of the National Airspace System (NAS), that is still in use today. To support the NAS project and continual operations with the U.S. Department of Defense at the Pentagon, Mitre opened a second 'main office' in McLean, Virginia.

Through the 1960s, Mitre developed and supported military Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) projects, including the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). Mitre also worked on a number of projects with ARPA, including precursors to the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET). Since the 1960s, Mitre has developed or supported most DoD early warning and communications projects, including the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) and the Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS).

In 1982, Mitre authored a proposal for the State Department called 'Cannabis Eradication in Foreign Western Nations.' In this proposal, a plan was outlined to eradicate cannabis in participating nations within 121 days, for $19 million. The report discussed the use and safety considerations of paraquat. The plan would have been to aerially dispense paraquat over marijuana crops. One safety concern was the food crops grown alongside the marijuana crops being contaminated. A study conducted on rats by Imperial Chemical Industries was cited in the report, and claimed low health risks for paraquat. The U.S. Public Health Service commented on this study saying that due to the present squamous metaplasia in the respiratory tracts of the rats that 'This study should not be used to calculate the safe inhalation dose of paraquat in humans.'[20]

During the 1980s, the German hacker Markus Hess used an unsecured Mitre Tymnet connection as an entry point for intrusions into U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA computer networks.[21]

On July 10, 1985, mitre.org was the first .orgdomain name registered, and it remains in use by the company today.[22]

On January 29, 1996, Mitre divided into two entities: The MITRE Corporation, to focus on its FFRDCs for DoD and FAA; and a new company, originally named Mitretek Systems and now called Noblis, to assume non-FFRDC work for other U.S. Government agencies.[23]

In 2005, a team from Mitre competed in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and qualified in 23rd place for the final race.[24]

System-Level Flight Tests( )
1 edition published in 1999 in English and held by 4 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
System-level flight tests are an important part of the overall effort by the United States to maintain confidence in the reliability, safety, and performance of its nuclear deterrent forces. This study of activities by the Department of Energy in support of operational tests by the Department of Defense was originally suggested by Dr. Rick Wayne, Director, National Security Programs, Sandia National Laboratory/Livermore, and undertaken at the request of the Department of Energy, Defense Programs Division. It follows two 1997 studies by JASON that focused on the Department of Energy's Enhanced Surveillance Program for the physics package -- i.e. the nuclear warhead
Who
Data Mining and the Human Genome( )
1 edition published in 2000 in English and held by 4 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
As genomics research moves from an era of data acquisition to one of both acquisition and interpretation, new methods are required for organizing and prioritizing the data. These methods would allow an initial level of data analysis to be carried out before committing resources to a particular genetic locus. This JASON study sought to delineate the main problems that must be faced in bioinformatics and to identify information technologies that can help to overcome those problems. While the current influx of data greatly exceeds what biologists have experienced in the past, other scientific disciplines and the commercial sector have been handling much larger datasets for many years. Powerful data mining techniques have been developed in other fields that, with appropriate modification, could be applied to the biological sciences
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) review( )
1 edition published in 1996 in English and held by 4 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
During its 1996 Winter Study JASON reviewed the DOE Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program. This included the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and proposed studies. The result of the review was to comment on the role of the ICF program in support of the DOE Science Based Stockpile Stewardship program
Small Unit Operations by John M Cornwall( Book )
3 editions published in 1998 in English and held by 4 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
DARPA requested a JASON summer study on Small Unit Operations, with the emphasis to be on the SUO vision of total situational awareness for small ground units, remote commanders and remote weapons systems. The study focused on new technologies and concepts which might lead to a dramatic improvement in battlefield situational awareness
Signatures of Aging( Book )
2 editions published in 1998 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Department of Energy and its three weapons laboratories (LANL, LLNL, and SNL) have developed a Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program (SSMP) in response to their designated mission of maintaining an effective, i.e. reliable and safe, nuclear deterrent without underground nuclear tests (UGTs). The need to ensure the effectiveness of an aging stockpile presents new challenges of major importance. In this study we review what is known about the aging of critical constituents, particularly the high explosives, polymers, and metals in the enduring stockpile. We discuss data that are required to provide a fuller understanding of aging, and how to obtain that data as a basis for anticipating and addressing potential stockpile problems. Our particular concern is problems that may arise in the short term, i.e. within the next 5 to 10 years, and their implied requirements for preventive maintenance and remanufacture
Insonification for Area Denial( Book )
2 editions published in 1998 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This report examines concepts for area denial by use of focused sound sources
Rare Events( )
1 edition published in 2009 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
JASON was asked by the Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct an evaluation of the nation's ability to anticipate and assess the risk of rare events. 'Rare events' specifically refers to catastrophic terrorist events, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction or other high-profile attacks, where there is sparse (or no) historical record from which to develop predictive models based on past statistics. This study was requested by the Strategic Multi-Layer Assessment (SMA) program, which is part of the Joint Staff/J-3, STRATCOM/GISC, and the Rapid Technology Program Office within the Department of Defense Research and Engineering
Characterization of Underground Facilities( Book )
2 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
JASON undertook a study at DARPA's request to look for new opportunities for progress in the detection and characterization of UGFs. Part of our charge was to identify the most promising technology areas for investment, emphasizing standoff and covert sensor techniques. The study therefore surveyed a wide range of approaches, and we received numerous briefings. These included summaries of the technology programs of various agencies and briefings from organizations and companies on specific technology approaches. In addition various new ideas were suggested by JASON contributors
Electro Thermal Chemical Gun Technology Study( Book )
2 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This study of ETC gun technology was performed at the request of Dr. John Parmentola, Acting Director for Research and Lab Management, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Army. Funding for the study was provided by the Army Research Office under the guidance of Dr. Michael Stroscio. Electro Thermal Chemical (ETC) gun technology refers to the use of plasma devices in place of traditional chemical ignitors to initiate the burning of high energy propellants in a controlled manner. The goal of ETC gun research and development is to provide higher muzzle velocities and more reliable performance for large bore weapons than is possible with existing gun technology

The ARM measurements have many purposes, of which two primary goals are: (1) to check the accuracy of current knowledge of physical processes occurring in the atmosphere, and (2) to check the accuracy of current General Circulation Models (GCM) of the atmosphere. Purpose (1) is to check the physics; purpose, and (2) is to check the computer codes
Engineering Microorganisms for Energy Production( )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
JASON was asked by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research of the Department of Energy to assess the possibilities for using microorganisms to produce fuels as a metabolic product, in particular hydrogen or ethanol. We were asked to consider the prospects for achieving such biogenic fuel production in principle and in practice; and what the requirements and fundamental limitations are for achieving viability
Nondestructive Evaluation and Self-Monitoring Materials( Book )
2 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This report is a response to a request from DARPA for a JASON study to evaluate existing and novel approaches to condition-based maintenance. Our guidance was to avoid the area of 'smart materials', which is by itself an active area of research with which DARPA is quite familiar. In addition, the JASON study was narrowed to exclude the research area devoted to developing self-healing materials, i.e., materials that not only detect a change and produce a signal when the change occurs, but which also deform or reorganize structurally at either the macroscopic or microscopic level to counteract any harmful operational effects due to such changes. Instead, the JASON study focused primarily on methods through which condition-based maintenance could be facilitated, improved, and/or enhanced
Reducing DoD Fossil-Fuel Dependence( )
2 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In light of an increasing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, as well as rising fuel costs for the U.S. and the DoD, and implications with regard to national security and national defense, the JASONs were charged in 2006 by the DDR & E with assessing pathways to reduce DoD's dependence on fossil fuels. The study charge included the following tasks: A. Explore technology options to reduce the DoD dependence on fossil fuels and/or increase energy efficiency of our operating forces. This assessment will include an assessment of alternative fuels and energy sources at DoD-required energy densities, e.g., exotic alternate fuels, biomass/cellulosic biofuels, hydrogen, shale oil, oil sands, geothermal, etc., and an assessment of the potential of structural shaping, structural mechanical design, and novel materials application in enhancing the survivability of lightweight vehicles. B. Assess the viability of technologies to provide at least the performance required of current DoD platforms and effort to integrate the technology and achieve the desired level of performance. In particular, alternate fuels and energy sources are to be assessed in terms of multiple parameters, to include (but not limited to) stability, high & low temperature properties, water affinity, storage & handling. C. Assess blast and penetration resistance in lightweight vehicles. D. Analyze structures and materials designs that could be adapted for use on combat and utility vehicles, or other DoD platforms. E. In addition, JASON was asked to defer detailed analyses of USAF energy/fuel use
Wind Farms and Radar( )
1 edition published in 2008 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
As part of its 2008 Winter Study, JASON was asked by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to review the current status of the conflict between the ever-growing number of wind-turbine farms and air-security radars that are located within some tens of miles of a turbine farm
Sonar Signal-Gain Limits from Internal Waves by Stanley M Flatté( Book )
2 editions published in 1998 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This report will present the state of knowledge of internal-wave effects from the point of view of low-frequency sonar systems, and will make recommendations to the sonar-system designer and operator as to when to expect internal-wave effects to become important. It will also explain where oceanographic measurement and analysis are needed to determine the limits on sonar-system design and performance that are due to internal waves. The calculations in this report are based on the universal Garrett-Munk spectrum, with differences in different parts of the ocean arising from the behavior of different water masses
High performance biocomputation by Daniel I Meiron( )
1 edition published in 2005 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
