The proposed project will result in the design of a "Distributed Services Framework" (DSF) which provides a service-oriented, distributed architecture for the hosting, advertising, discovery and invoking of "distributed services" across Army "Mobile Ad-hoc Networks" (MANETs). Example distributed… More

This three-phase SBIR project will develop an actively managed circadian rhythm berth-light fixture that meets the stringent requirements of the Navy for shipboard replacement of conventional fluorescent fixtures. The fixture will combine high-efficiency solid-state lighting (SSL) and an intuitive… More

Wireless networks, particularly ad hoc networks, are vulnerable to adverse impacts from dynamic network conditions, RF environments, network congestion, limited power supplies, etc. As critical applications move to wireless networks, it is necessary to predict and avoid these adverse impacts before… More

The Distributed Services Framework for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks address the challenges of interconnecting a diverse set of operational wireless nodes and making available the services and data published by those nodes in a reliable and efficient manner. Additionally, it will provide interoperability… More

Existing Information Assurance (IA) technologies in use by the Navy for near real-time and deadline-scheduled data are constrained by significant endpoint dependencies, such as proprietary hardware, pre-shared keys, and administrative configuration. The goal of the proposed project is to provide an… More

Spectrum sensing by far is the most important component for the establishment of cognitive radio. Spectrum sensing is the task of obtaining awareness about the spectrum usage and existence of primary users in a geographical area. Sensing for cognitive radio applications requires high sampling rate,… More
