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 ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) recognizes the need for low-power high-bandwidth radiation-hard optical interconnects to process more data more quickly and to replace electronic data.Our companys core development in optical communications with semiconductor materials is a unique fit for DTRAs low-power consumption high-bandwidth radiation-hard intra-chip communication components for sat ...

Bulk InAs(x)Sb(1-x) is an infrared detector material that promises higher quantum efficiency than antimony-based superlattices in the longwave infrared (LWIR). This is due to the longer diffusion length of minority carrier holes in the bulk than in superlattices where they are localized. No native substrate exists for lattice-matched growth of InAs(x)Sb(1-x) material with LWIR bandgaps. So a key c ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent increase in the occurrence of pilot parachute deployment hesitation events during training has focused attention on the flow field about parachutists in freefall. An improved understanding of this flow will contribute to better equipment and improved safety. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is a powerful technique for exploring such flows. Once validated against experimental d ...

The US Army is seeking to develop an IR obscurant material for military operations and high aspect ratio, conductive, metallic nanoflake (HANF) is under consideration. Conductive nanoflakes have been demonstrated to be excellent screeners of IR when used in advanced countermeasure devices such as smoke grenades or smoke pots. The primary objective of the Phase II effort is to further develop and ...

Sand flies can cause illnesses such as Leishmaniasis caused by a parasite or sand fly fever due to sand fly fever viruses. The objective of this study is to develop a robust, field grade, screening assay for the detection of both leishmania parasites and/or sand fly fever viruses directly in sand flies. The test will utilize a multi-line lateral flow (dipstick) chromatography incorporated into a c ...

Sterling International Inc. proposes to develop a light-weight, portable, water-proof “Personal Insect Repellent Device”, impregnated with powerful spatial repellent(s), that can be attached to a solider, or an individual soldier's uniform, to provide long-lasting, passive, whole-body, spatial protection against bites from insect disease vectors (e.g. sand flies and mosquitoes) and other bitin ...
