Rick,
This is a very early draft. There are definite talking points and things to figure out.  Power is always a hot button. I put some bs in the KSA (Key system attributes) about how long it will run off batteries, but I don't know if that is realistic. We just need to be honest about this aspect of it. The other is power vs range, especially on collect.  I know I can grab credentials with something in my hand, however,  something  15' away will require a lot of power and a directional antenna most likely. This is not my space, but I know that I would have loved to have been able to snag a maid's credentials from 10' away to clone a card, but in my tenure, the power it would take made it not feasible.

I think we need to figure out the business aspect too. If this is something that can be done without govt funding, then it is wholly ours to proliferate how we see fit (government only) and we need to figure out how to carve out everyone's slice. Even if they support the dev, we need to figure out how we shake things out once it is in the manufacturing phase.   Just planting the seed on this because I feel like there are several opportunities for us to partner and I am not going to be charging a mint for hours or ideas, so the money has to come from somewhere (product).  I know I can sell this to the groups I work with and probably get traction with ones I don't spend much time with.  I am fairly certain this isn't the one that gets us yachts to sail off into the sunset with, but it could get us the funds to build the thing that gets the yachts!   I just want to make sure we figure out how the model works to keep all involved happy and focused on what is in front of us as well as the next thing.

Again, these are initial thoughts on paper but I wanted to get it over to you so you can start rolling it around in your head as well.  With your knowledge, you could down select the platform you want to use. I was just throwing it in as considerations.

Thank you,
Chris
