ABSTRACT: Nanohmics is proposing a technology development program that will result in infrared optical components (windows, lenses, and domes) that have high-performance broadband anti-reflection, large angle-of-regard, and anti-erosion properties. The underlying technology is based on a new low-cost process for creating random nanoscale features on optical surfaces. The proposed Phase II progr ...

ABSTRACT: It is very challenging to secure applications in today's networked computer systems where applications inherently share various resources and information. In this proposal, we propose a novel approach called policy guided isolation and strategically shielded exposure, to protect applications in network environments. Our approach integrates virtualization technology with the Policy ...

ABSTRACT: The main focus of this proposal is to develop innovative IP routing algorithms onboard over satellites that can link user preferences and network conditions and improve end-to-end network performance, including heterogeneity of satellite nodes, interferences on satellite links, and others. Because of the unique characteristics of satellite communication links with heterogeneous satellit ...

ABSTRACT: Several million workers worldwide are estimated to be exposed to chromium compounds. At present there is a medical test that can determine the total amount of chrome in the human body. There are no known physiological tests to determine the exposure of the human body to hexavalent chrome which is a human carcinogen and exposures are regulated by OSHA standard. Lynntech proposes (i) to ...

ABSTRACT: The United States is increasingly reliant on space-based technologies for surveillance, communications, and navigation. However, our satellites face significant threats from external forces as well as the usual threats from failures, space weather, and orbital debris and must become more survivable. On-board satellite autonomy has been shown in several flight demonstrations to provide ...

ABSTRACT: Invocon proposes its Radiation Environment Monitor for Spacecraft (REMS) as a method to provide real-time space radiation weather information for satellites and other spacecraft. REMS measures, stores, and communicates information about radiation dose, dose rate, and angle of incidence. It also differentiates between types of radiation including all particles composed of electrons, pr ...

ABSTRACT: SURVICE Engineering is proposing the development of an innovative fire extinguishing suppressant flow simulation model that meets solicitation requirements. Our proposed approach includes integration of a previously developed, exceptionally fast running, engineering level computational fluid dynamics core model that was originally developed for programs supporting the Army in blast ana ...

ABSTRACT: Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are critical to surveillance and weapons applications. Due to the complexity of such systems, adequate testing typically involves the need for active fight testing which is extremely expensive. There is a need to be able to generated a laboratory SAR simulation environment to provide system testing and optimization that can provide $Ms in test and evalu ...

When considering the ability of warfighters to adapt to mission needs as a mission evolves, cognitive readiness assessment is very important for military planners. To address the critical need of real-time cognitive readiness assessment for Special Forces"quick-strike"missions, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) is developing an integrated, extensible and real-time cognitive readiness assessment t ...

The increasing availability of small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) leads to the possibility of forming temporary mission-centric networks using multiple SUASs. The major problems faced in achieving this vision, specifically the dynamic nature of SUAS topologies and the limited bandwidth available, combine to create an environment that is inhospitable for traditional routing approaches. In Phase ...
