In an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) scenario, the ability for the rescuers to maintain an accurate and comprehensive situational awareness is critical to allow them to maximize their effectiveness in a chaotic and dangerous environment. Timeliness is, of course, paramount to saving lives, and miscommunications lead to potentially unnecessary deaths. 21st Century Systems Incorporated is pleased to ...

Cyber Defense Agency, LLC (CDA) proposes to develop StopBot, a unique, multi-modal security application that will detect botnets and disable their command and control systems. StopBot will have three different modes of operation: a free, stand-alone mode to protect individual end systems, a subscription mode in which results from individual end systems are collected securely and correlated to gene ...

EarthData proposes an innovative approach to providing real-time surveillance imagery and greatly improving response times for tasking multiple remote sensing aircraft to acquire critical map-based products required for crisis support. A mobile ground based acquisition planner inputs the acquisition needs into a GIS system preloaded with basic (pre disaster) information of the response area. Using ...

A botnet is a network of robots or ¿bots¿ installed surreptitiously on computer hosts and controller to do the attacker¿s bidding via remote command and control systems. Most bots employ stealth methods to hide communications and bot installation. Detecting a botnet by examining network traffic is extremely difficult since botnets frequently mask their existence by using multiple host proxies a ...

The Phase 2 objective is to provide NIST with a modular gauge head unit equipped with InsituTec's standing wave probe technology. The complete gauge head unit will be retrofitted to the NIST M48 which is one of the most precise measuring machines in the world. This unit will enable NIST to achieve the agency's program goal in dimensional metrology which is to provide microscale measurement capacit ...

In this Phase I project Pharad proposes to create a family of thin, flexible conformal appliqué antennas that can adhere to the exterior skin of UAVs and aircraft. The flexible radiating assemblies will support FM, VHF TV, and UHF TV signal transmission/reception and be able to mount to a variety of airframes without requiring modification of the aircraft structure. We will analyze the flexible ...

High quantum efficiency (QE), fast (

The SOCOM direction finding (DF) requirement is a small, low-power package that is modular in design and capable of interoperating with a variety of receivers including the SIGINT Threat Warning receivers currently under development by Digital ReceiverTechnology, Inc. and Applied Signal Technology, Inc. Applied Signal and Image Technology is uniquely positioned to offer SOCOM a solution for this ...

Terahertz radiation is an ideal candidate for non-invasive interrogation of concealed objects and substances. As such, there is an increased need for reliable high-quality nonlinear materials for the generation and detection of THz radiation. Zinc telluride (ZnTe) and gallium phosphide (GaP) are the materials of choice for this purpose. However, the performance of these materials varies widely fro ...

Under phase I of this program, DRT identified a feasible design approach that very nearly meets or exceeds the requirements for this portable wireless receiving system. The critical areas of size, weight, power consumption, performance and ruggedness wereall addressed. Along with major breakthroughs in power and size reduction, the mechanical design was refined to implement an innovative, passiv ...
