The goal of this SBIR Phase II proposal is to develop a web-based platform that (1) hosts a collection of micro games for cybersecurity awareness and training; (2) simplifies the development of micro games by maximizing re-use of functionality; (3) helps administrators manage and deploy micro games; and (4) helps analysts assess readiness through a suite of tools for analytics. In Phase I, we expl ...

The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) controls engine operation. The FADEC case must be maintained below 63°C, while the environment can be as hot as 170°C. The current design uses fuel to cool the FADEC, however, this often limits the allowable ground or flight idle time before the fuel is too hot to cool the FADEC. This SBIR Phase I project will develop a thermal management syst ...

For Phase I, an ultra low power, high performance microprocessor core using a combination of double-gated and independent double-gated Flexfet™ SOI CMOS technology from American Semiconductor will be designed to address the requirements of military and space communication systems. High integration feasibility using Flexfet technologies followed by confirmation of the power and performance improv ...

The ability of humans to make complex decisions is one of the most interesting aspects of human intelligence, especially when judgemental, ambiguous, absense, or erratic knowledge is concerned. This project focuses on the development of a methodology to classify multi-attribute alternatives into evidence blocks for evaluation in automated decision support processes. Anautics developed approach com ...

The DoD must field weapon systems more rapidly in order to retain technological advantage over its peer competitors. This goal necessitates a paradigm shift to transform the acquisition process from the costly and time-consuming design-build-test methodology into a modern model-analyze-build approach that complements the use of virtual/physical prototyping and experimentation. Recent examples have ...

Today’s head-mounted displays fall short of providing wide-FOV imagery with high visual acuity. One reason for this is the difficulty of creating lightweight, distortion-free wide-angle optics. Instead of attempting to recreate the entire visual field at high resolution, we propose to present a small, high-resolution foveal image to one eye and a larger, lower-acuity peripheral image to the ot ...

Bridger Photonics (BP) and collaborative partner Montana State University (MSU) propose to utilize feature specific imaging in concert with an innovative actively stabilized FM-CW chirped laser radar source for multi-mode target identification and classification. Feature specific (or compressive) imaging systems project their information directly onto a low-dimensional, predetermined subspace, wh ...

TRS Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop ceramic capacitors as discharge pulse power capacitors for high-power microwave (HPM) systems. In the phase I program TRS demonstrated that high breakdown strength can be achieved in multilayer ceramic capacitors by controlling microstructure. Antiferroelectric ceramic capacitor with 17 active layers developed on Phase I exhibited electric field as high ...

A typical Red Flag may involve 1,500 personnel and 100 aircraft representing four or five nations. Each event presents critical safety-of-flight and range considerations. Many participants are non-native speakers of English, in a context where technical, rapid, and information-rich communication can pose steep challenges even to native speakers; the potential for misunderstandings, miscommunicatio ...

There are a number of sensors capable of detecting valuable information. However these sensors are many times only valuable if they are in a strategic location. To place the sensor in a strategic location it potentially requires some type of concealment and would also be remote. One of the biggest issues we struggle with power to drive the remote sensors. This can be solved using one of two ap ...
