SIFT and the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI) propose to develop the Multi-Agent Debloating Environment to Increase Robustness in Applications (MADEIRA). MADEIRA will apply AI/ML techniques to learn how to apply diverse debloating tools, automatically reducing the attack surfaces of full systems that may include firmware, OS, container, and application-l ...

Development of a strategic radiation hardened FPGA with secure boot through MRAM. The FPGA will be demonstrated on state-of-the-practice foundry technology. The FPGA architecture will be developed to support a future port to state-of-the-art foundry technology. The FGPA will be architected to support a chiplet embodiment which will enable rapid reconfiguration of strategic rad hard FPGA products ...

The Learning Architecture for Short-Term Forecasts of Cloud Characteristics Using Satellites (LAST FOCUS) introduces a novel approach and state-of-the-art ML methodologies to forecast cloud properties including, but not limited to, ceiling, optical depth, phases, and reflectance.  Using a suite of cloud-observing geostationary and Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites, atmospheric profiles, and an ...

Metis enables collaborative mission planning across locations connected by low-bandwidth, unreliable network links.  It provides a Synchronization Service to ensure planners at different locations have consistent views of plans and planning data.  This service works across network connections and disconnections and can detect conflicts when service state is updated independently at different loc ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology. For this, Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a suitable materials candidate given the numerous fundamental figures of merit that make it superior to SiC and Si, respectively, the current state-of-the-art and standard material systems for power electronic devices. With the Baliga figure of merit, respectively, ...

Adventium Labs proposes to implement the Continuous Human Operator Requirements Analysis of Linkage (CHORAL) tool to support a new requirements management methodology that will allow human factors engineers to input, link, and track cognitive human operator requirements within Systems Modeling Language (SysML) models. Off-the-shelf tools focused on project requirements management are designed to c ...

The Vendor-Interoperable Ontology Linking and Exploration Tool (VIOLET) project will develop a tool that will allow multiple stakeholders across roles and engineering disciplines to easily traverse, understand, associate, and synchronize information distributed across multiple organizations, stored in multiple repositories, represented in different modeling languages and formats, and manipulated w ...

In this SBIR program, AdvR will develop a new feature in Y-branch dual phase modulator IOCs which enables fine tuning of the split ratio after assembly.  The proposed approach utilizes existing technology with a long flight heritage in tactical gyroscopes to create a tunable section which is localized, finely adjustable and permanent after tuning.  Preliminary modeling indicates the target perfo ...

Dual Sense proposes to develop a cross deck pendant (CDP) inspection sensor based on detecting ultrasonic guided wave echoes arising from any broken wires in the CDP cable. The proposed sensor will be designed to be rugged, compact, man-portable, immune to EMI, and able to work in all weather conditions on a ship deck.
