The utility of continuously tracking vehicles in a battlefield has been demonstrated during the Gulf War and other recent conflicts. However, the ability to achieve reliable continuous tracking in many environments will require the use of FOPEN radar andefficient use of sensor resources. In this effort we extend current research to include heterogeneous terrain and apply this model to simulations. ...

We propose to build a framework around an operator formulation to enable rapid development of massively parallel solutions to large graph problems. Graph algorithms are expressed by a small number of operators that are applied to components of the graph.

The proposed effort will extend existing proofs of concept and advanced research systems to: (a) provide an efficient, low-level, data-parallel runtime for graph processing on GPUs; (b) provide a high-level abstraction for writing graph analytics that are

A drop-in 3He-tube replacement technology for thermal neutron detection does not exist today. It is critical for homeland security and nuclear safeguards applications. In this program, Triton Systems proposes to develop a light-weight, large-area, high efficiency portable neutron detector for passive interrogation using an innovative gas detector structure. The resulting 3He-free thermal neutron d ...

We propose a novel suspended multiferroic thin film structure fabricated by semiconductor processing technologies as the basis for the approach to designing the multiferroic microstrip-based circuit elements such as tunable filters. The proposed approach

The proliferation of nuclear and radiological weapons of mass destruction is a serious threat in the world today. The goal of this proposal is to develop a new, very low cost radiation detection technology that will be useful for detection and for surveillance of individuals who have been near radioactive materials. The technology can also be used for dosimetry, and will provide the technology for ...

Voltage tunable multiferroic materials with strong magnetoelectric coupling provide a unique approach to compact, lightweight and power efficient tunable RF/microwave multiferroic components, such as tunable inductors, filters, phase shifters, etc. The tu

The objective of this program is to develop and make ready for commercial production a novel pump design utilizing piezoelectric pumping elements combined with fast acting non mechanical active valves and a miniature digital controller. The piezoelectricactuator is an available building block that has a proven track record, surviving 3x109 cycles in diesel fuel injectors. Available conventional va ...
