A Gaussian-Pareto Overbounding (GPO) software toolset will be developed for the verification and validation (V&V) of safety-critical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) sensors, including Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) and Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) sensors using time- and data-efficient overbounding solutions. V&V remains a critical attribute of safe operation within active airspace for ...

Grey Street Systems (GSS) elevates information delivery, exchange, communications and decision-making through customized and/or integrated systems that translate into scalable, responsive, modular system designs for traditional display systems, heads-up-displays (HUD) and augmented reality (AR) projection interfaces utilizing ML and/or AI engines to rapidly assemble relevant, real-time, situation- ...

HgCdTe semiconductors possess exorbitant costs and manufacturing limitations when utilized in the 2.5 µm wavelength range. Small amounts of bismuth may be added to conventional III-V  semiconductors to form the III-V-Bi material system. Incorporated bismuth atoms provides an additional free  parameter in band edge design making it possible to shift the valence band independently of the conducti ...

The current state of aircraft model validation has not change dramatically in several decades. Stabilized test points and unique flight test maneuvers are still utilized to determine a platform’s acceptability as compared to a model. A model that has be developed from some analysis but mostly anecdotally from previous test programs. This in conjunction with the assumptions and simplifications us ...

Inkit’s suite of software products enables end users (in this instance, maintainers) to place automated digital orders to a network of configurable vetted vendors. By leveraging the Industrial Prime Vendor (IPV) contracting strategy, not only does our technology enable efficiency in regards to end user and vendor coordination and collaboration, but it can streamline the ordering process for main ...

We propose CADET (Cognitive Assessment During Evaluation and Testing), a flexible and minimally intru-sive machine learning enabled software sensor that classifies environmental, human behavior, and physiolog-ical features to measure and predict near real time workload (WL) and performance. We will combine SIFT's prior WL research in zero-intrusion techniques in linguistics, keyboard dynamics and ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology as existing technology and even recent promising advances in Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride based materials lack fundamental material properties to deliver switching capabilities needed for future high power converter applications, advanced radar and propulsion systems. Much interest has been re ...

This Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer program will simulate and demonstrate the feasibility of a Spin-torque microwave diode spectrograph for real-time determination and monitoring of incident microwave signals. The microwave detection will be performed by a bandwidth encompassing parallel array of nano-patterned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). When an ac current of microwave frequency ...

This STTR seeks to develop a high-throughput, low-cost enabling technology for the manufacturing of electronic systems-on-film. It posits a novel concept of introducing percolation networks into semiconducting “inks” to increase by at least an order of magnitude the very low carrier mobilities (

Highly scalable parallel random number generators (RNGs) will be developed, evaluated and implemented for use in high performance computing on thousands of multi-core processors and general purpose graphics processing units. The main contributions are: (a) design and implementation of new parallel test methods that capture the inter-stream correlations exhibited in practice and complement the curr ...
