The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), an efficient method for computing Discrete Fourier Transforms, is widely used in climate modeling, molecular dynamics, structural dynamics, astronomical computations, nuclear energy, and many other scientific applications. Representing one of the most important users of numerical routines, the Department of Energy (DOE) uses FFTs to solve the most-pressing challen ...

3 Sigma Research investigates an advanced concept, called the Mutating Attack-Surface Investigation (MASI), to increase network protection by continuously modifying and dynamically mutating the network profile. This approach addresses the attacker’s tactic of network mapping and the assumption of a static network target. The architecture implementation uses virtual machine hypervisor technology ...

3 Sigma Research proposes to develop and implement an innovative prototype and demonstrate a suite of tools to assist with the automated creation of security classification guides and application of the guide in classifying information. Building on the research from the Phase I Ontology-based Security Classification Guide Investigation (OSCG-I), the prototype will show that a robust and accurate ...

The objective of Phase I is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various multi-reference coupled-cluster (MRCC) methods that have been proposed for the description of molecular states depending upon near degeneracies and non-dynamic electron correlation. Such effects are encountered in bond breaking, at transition states, for complex open shell systems like transition metal atoms, and f ...

Historically, military strategic satellite systems have been large in physical size and designed for lifetimes of up 10 years or more. To prevent unauthorized access to these systems their communication links are typically protected by Communications security (COMSEC) equipment. These box level security components are referred to as encryption control units (ECUs) or End Crypto Units (ECUs). Even ...

In this program AET, Inc. will perform research and development with the objective of developing the capability to rapidly fabricate substitutes of radiation hardened microcircuits for use in future military satellites that may become obsolete during the acquisition cycle. The object is to develop a methodology for rapid prototyping of these obsolescent radiation hardened military microelectronic ...

During Phase I, ArchieMD develop a mission-oriented, maze-based framework for developing a SCORM compliant, web-deliverable micro-games that could teach key points of preventive medicine for arthropod-borne diseases. Using this framework we developed a prototype game - Beat the Baghdad Boil, designed to reduce leishmaniasis

Space systems routinely employ cryptographic protection of their communications links. This is necessary, not only to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information transmitted by or via a spacecraft, but also to protect command and control functions for the spacecraft. Cryptographic services in a spacecraft are generally provided by dedicated box-level encryption control units (ECUs). E ...

The U. S. Air Force has identified a need to develop innovative technologies that will enable miniaturization of micro air vehicles (MAV), and future micro air weapons (MAW), to allow these platforms to be sufficiently compact to accommodate diverse deployment scenarios. Smaller airframes necessarily require that airframe components be miniaturized to provide adequate volume for mission payloads. ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer research project addresses the perception and learning of complex sound patterns within complex auditory scenes. The objective is to model auditory signal processing, pattern recognition and learning in the human auditory system. Our novel approach simulates the nonlinear signal processing that has been observed in auditory physiology. By mimicking functiona ...
