At present, there is no cross domain solution that is certified to filter streaming video data.The proposed effort is to develop a Cross Domain Full Motion Video (CD FMV) solution, which will be based on Tridents certified Voice & Video Cross Domain Solution (V2 CDS).The desired end state for the CD FMV technology is a fundamentally new product that leverages Tridents Assured Pipeline and XML filt ...

Fibertek proposes to develop a space qualifiable, small, optical modem board to support interoperable, encoding and decoding for free-space optical communications links. Space is a contested environment where traditional RF communications are susceptible to being jammed and intercepted. Optical communications offer a resilient solution, and its inclusion on SmallSats and in constellations is an Ai ...

There has long been a need to quickly identify persons at long range with high accuracy.For tactical applications, solutions need to be compact, lightweight and frugal with power.Solutions also need to be fully functional in environments where communications are limited or non-existent.Challenges to meeting these requirements are: 1) obtaining sufficient face image resolution at long range, 2) rem ...

The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan reminds us that lead remains dangerous and insidious toxicant that can impact public health for months or years before it is detected and remedied.Increasing awareness of lead contamination has motivated the general public to test their own drinking water, but few tools are availiable to help these "citizen scientist" do so effectively.Current lead scre ...

Physically UnclonableFunctions (PUFs) have been proposed as central building blocks in cryptographic protocols and security architectures. PUFs are physical devices that exhibit a challenge/responsebehavior: when presented with a challenge, the device produces a response that is a random function of both the challenge and the physical properties of the device.In contrast to most digital designs, i ...
