Spatial Cognition, LLC is nearing the completion of work on Phase I research and development effort entitled Immersive Vision, Data Fusion and Threat Awareness for Enhanced Sensor-to-Shooter Engagement/Targeting. The major goal of this effort is to leverage advances in sensor technology, graphics hardware, and 3D rendering techniques to provide novel visualization capabilities that enhance the sit ...

Two methods for analyzing software security risks are dynamic application security testing (DAST) - an outside in perspective - and static application security testing (SAST) - and inside out perspective. Both have shortfalls. DAST findings do not give insight into the root cause, making remediation time consuming. SAST tools give you full breadth, but warn of weaknesses that are not exploitable. ...

The objective of this effort is to develop signal waveform characteristics and processing algorithms that will deduce sensor-invariant attributes of a tracked object so that it can be classified, discriminated and evaluated for engagement. Under our proposed effort, we will develop enhanced radio frequency (RF) signal waveforms and associated processing algorithms, using a physics-based approach, ...

The objective of the proposed research project is to develop novel algorithms and signal processing techniques that will minimize Aegis-to-3G & 4G and 3G & 4G-to-Aegis interference. We will perform an investigation and research of new RF waveform characteristics that could enhance Aegis BMD coexistence with civilian 3G and 4G communication networks. Under this effort, we will design innovative R ...

We propose to create a unique on-board software platform that will compress without loss a wide variety of telemetry data, including health and status information of vehicle body components, kinematic information, and visible and IR imagery. Different sub-systems treat encrypted and original data. The encoding software will meet the specifications of low complexity, fast computation, and low ...

This proposal is directed toward Focus Area 1: Low noise high sensitivity and high bandwidth detector arrays at 1µm. Amplification Technologies Inc. has invented and demonstrated a fundamentally new technology to design and fabricate high-sensitivity photodetectors. We invented an amplification method that is applied to dramatically increase the detection sensitivity in photo detectors. The D ...

Heritage vehicles with large, axial thrust rocket motors have used extendable nozzles with great success. The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) future interceptors, including the SM-3 Block IIB, require advanced DACS to evolve the BMDS toward emerging threats. Building upon its core competencies, Systima"s design approach enables the proven advantages of nozzle extension technology. Teame ...

Today"s high energy Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are often pumped by stacks of multiple edge-emitting diode laser bars since the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) traditionally have been lower in efficiency. In this effort we are proposing a novel VCSEL design which overcomes the efficiency bottleneck in conventional VCSEL while preserving its beneficial attributes such as uniform beam in ...

The objective of the proposed program is to develop innovative algorithms and techniques to automatically detect, classify, and uniquely identify emitters exhibiting multi-dimensional agilities, extremely wide band RF distribution, high time-bandwidth coherent characteristics, and solid state power amplifier technologies. The proliferation of agile emitter types has surpassed the ability of curren ...

The benefits of using mobile devices for conducting business come with a range of security threats to sensitive information both in motion and at rest. To meet this need ATC-NY will develop Myelin, a cross-platform mobile app ecosystem with intrinsic security. Myelin uses a base technology of secure, cross-platform communications to implement sophisticated security mechanisms and policies across t ...
