Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms play an increasingly important role in modern warfare.The goal of providing timely and actionable information to the warfighter can be greatly facilitated by the ability to simultaneously collect multiple types of sensor data.Imaging one target without losing track of another target can mean the difference between mission success and m ...

Currently available thermal cameras do not meet the combined weight, power, field-of-view (FOV), and detection requirements necessary for use on nano-UAVs for applications such as Soldier Borne Sensors (SBS). Increasing the angular FOV while maintaining a desired probability of detection under specified conditions typically means increasing pixel count. Once the detector technology is at the minim ...

To satisfy the demand for increased data volumes from small satellite systems, TUI proposes to extend its existing modular SWIFT software-defined radio (SDR) platform to create a multi-band S-, X-, and Ka-band transceiver capable of closing SATCOM links in excess of 300 Mbps to smaller, tactically-placed ground stations. Key enabling technologies include the integration TUI’s existing three degr ...

Unmanned ground vehicles are becoming widely seen as a means of increasing safety and production for a variety of purposes. These vehicles are used in a diverse range of applications (e.g. military, mining, agriculture, automotive). Many control parameters scale nicely with the size and type of vehicle. However, performance requirements also vary based on accuracy and smoothness of control per cus ...

Low cost polyurethane laminate tent materials are designed to solve the cold crack issue with PVC tent fabrics. The use of novel construction of urethane/textile laminates offers a breakthrough in environmental durability over current offerings. This new high durability laminate configuration provides for a new class of economical lightweight shelters with extended operating capability. Using a co ...

The development of a see-through Augmented Reality (AR) prototype to create realistic simulated human avatar overlays in lieu of standard silhouette representations offers the potential to revolutionize basic rifle marksmanship training. This technology used in coordination with a Location of Miss or Hit (LOMAH) on a live fire range supports consistent target representation independent of terrain ...

As the DoD continues to develop applications backed by cloud-based data and enterprise infrastructures, remote-sites will require on-site data caches to permit operation during periods of disconnect from the enterprise.To address this challenge for SOCOMs Chimera system, Black River will develop a stand-alone Chimera system that is independent of Amazon cloud software; develop bi-directional data ...

The objective of the proposed efforts is the development of a novel high energy reserve type lithium ion battery (LIB) based safe power source for gun-fired projectiles that can survive launch setback accelerations of up to 70,000 Gs and capable of providing power for weeks at very low temperatures as required for military operations. The proposed concepts also allow the development of highly safe ...

Having successfully validated our superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, wear and rust resistant laser based surface process in the Phase 1 project period, we at AlchLight propose to scale this technology to industry relevant levels by once again working with members of the University of Rochester's High Intensity Laser Lab. To achieve this goal, we will develop the world’s first superhydrophobic micr ...
