WriteWarden provides full-time, in-situ data device protection, allowing selected permitted and verified writes to occur to the device, while reliably performing hardware-enforced, full write-protection at all other times. In all instances of unverified writes, WriteWarden is designed to fail safe, prohibiting all modification to the data storage media though not only software assurances, but also ...

Abstract: Core Parts proposes to develop methods for estimating the size of a crack detected during Sonic Infrared Inspection (SIR). In the Phase I program, two approaches will be pursued; one based on additional IR image post-processing, and the other based on use of physics-based models seeded with results of the inspection thermal images. The proposed program will leverage earlier development b ...

In support of the Hi-FIVE effort in wideband HF communications, optimized frequency selection, and improved parametric settings for signal control, we will employ NWRA’s extensive HF propagation software capabilities. Given an ionosphere estimate from our GPSII code, informed by current measurements (including WSPRnet and other link data), we can efficiently characterize the propagation cha ...

In this STTP project, AVIRTEK will leverage the tools and algorithms developed in the AMAP Phase II SBIR to develop an AMAP-based Autonomic Security Operations Center (ASoC) system that continuously monitors the cyber resources and services 24 by 7, performs anomaly behavior analysis to detect malicious activities and proactively recommends actions to stop attacks and minimize their impacts. AMAP- ...

Abstract: Core Parts is a manufacturing and inspection innovation center and proposes to collaborate with Iowa State University (ISU) to develop an analytical methodology enable a common fatigue crack Probability of Detection (POD) estimation be applied to a group of turbine engine blades inspected with a given set of Sonic Infrared Inspection (SIR) parameters. By eliminating the need to test for ...

Maren-go and our teammate, Sentien, have created Maren-go Battlefield Herd AI Logistics (HAIL); a fundamentally different system that seamlessly brings together diverse digital verticals to outfit remote commanders and individual operators with ISR, logistic, and potentially kinetic capabilities without requiring expensive manned assets, all while enabling machine learning across a continually evo ...

The proposed product will provide low cost, comprehensive endpoint visibility ideal for USAF organizations whose mission includes development of custom cyber attack detection algorithms, investigation of cyber attack detection signals, or long-term storage of endpoint log data.

Clairvoyant and StorageOS’s discussions with USAF prospects show that existing storage solutions for Red Hat OpenShift (USAF Selected Application Container Platform) do not meet their technical requirements. These prospects require a secure, performant, scalable, easy-to-use platform and want to test StorageOS. Having experience this problem in the financial services industry, StorageOSâ₠...

With the increasing use of composites in aerospace structures, the need to reduce cycle times and recurring costs while maintaining part quality is essential to any competitive manufacturing process. Thermoplastics composites (TPC) have potential performance, storage and shelf life advantages over traditional thermoset composites. Material deposition and methods such as Automated Fiber Placement ( ...

The Air Force RamGun test facility exposes candidate structural joints to hydrodynamic ram, simulating the effect of artillery impact on an aircraft fuel bay. A projectile launched by a gas gun impacts a water filled chamber to create a pressure wave that impinges on a test article. In the existing facility, the pressure pulse is noisy and irregular, making test results difficult to interpret cons ...
