This proposal details an ambitious effort to develop Hybrid Phishing Protection System (HPPS). HPPS is a novel heuristics-based protection system that employs three lines of defenses to provide automatic, high-accuracy, and low-latency phishing identifica

This proposal details an ambitious effort to develop Smart Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (SHIDS). The SHIDS supports self-healing, self-monitoring, self-diagnosing, self-hardening, and self-recovering network architecture after corruption by an attack by automatically creating malware fingerprints and alert messages to protect against variants of known threats as well as possible zero day ...

The methods that has been historically developed and fielded for alarm and fault management in traditional communications networks do not provide adequate operational assurance for complex ad hoc tactical networks, especially for unskilled and inadequately trained operational personnel. Work on tactical network operations management that is proposed under A09-150 will use a novel approach that int ...

Aria Microwave System Inc. (AMS) will develop a lightweight, compact, scalable DEW system with 60% - 90% DC-to-RF efficiency. Examples of an S-Band concept system show that lethality levels > 1 W/cm ^2 at 100 meters can be attained with DC power in 10’s of kW, 10% duty cycle. The system uses AMS’s proprietary solid state, compact, lightweight, high efficiency, high power, active cavity amplifi ...

Current comprehensive rotorcraft analyses typically use lifting line theories coupled with 2D look-up tables to determine rotor blade lift, drag and pitching moment. These methods cannot directly capture 3D flow effects that influence the aerodynamic characteristics of advanced planforms, complex tip-shapes and low aspect ratio wing/tail surfaces. CFD codes have been coupled to comprehensive codes ...

The current generation of network management systems (NMS) is designed by and for highly trained network engineers and computer scientists, but significant gaps exist in the usefulness of these tools for the Signal Engineers and Warrant Officers responsible for managing the warfighter Tactical Network. To address this gap, Drakontas proposes to develop a comprehensive specification for a new appro ...

Topological data analysis is a new mathematical method used to study these massive data sets that arise in a variety of situations including military operations and national security. The use of passive infrared sensors for a wide area detection system involving chemical and biological contaminants produces massive amounts of hyperspectral image data. Recent research in this area include fast al ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop advanced lightweight facial protection system for bomb suit face shield with lightweight, excellent transparency and high ballistic resistance to reduce combat load and improve mobility for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) soldiers and combat engineers during missions. To accomplish this goal, Frontier will develop a novel high performance lightweight ...

This proposed project is to develop a rapid assay for T-2 Toxin. Under this project we will develop DIPAIN-derivative based test-strips that indicate the presence of trace quantities of trichothecene mycotoxins in aqueous solutions. The T-2 toxin will be used as a test case for this effort. We will use of 2-(diphenylacetyl)-l,3-indanedione-l-hydrazone (DIPAIN II) and its derivatives as reagents o ...

This proposed effort is focused on the development of a suite of fiber optic sensors that will detect, and locate tunnels. The system will be able to determine the depth of the tunnel and map the location of the tunnel on an overlay of a map. The system will also be able to determine if the tunnel has power and be able to detect the presence of human beings.
