In this STTP project, AVIRTEK will leverage the tools and algorithms developed in the AMAP Phase II SBIR to develop an AMAP-based Autonomic Security Operations Center (ASoC) system that continuously monitors the cyber resources and services 24 by 7, performs anomaly behavior analysis to detect malicious activities and proactively recommends actions to stop attacks and minimize their impacts. AMAP- ...

A comprehensive weather intelligence system capable of producing global environmental intelligence with real-time, high-resolution information and predictions requires the synthesis of observational surface data, radar data, aircraft, space and ground-based remotely sensed data, and the most advanced numerical weather prediction (NWP) technologies. Recent advances in real-time operational global o ...

Today’s modern command and control centers are critical to the operation of the USAF and the successful implementation of US military doctrine. The control center is staffed by dedicated warfighters who are responsible for critical support operations including: mission planning, airspace management, combat assessment, integrated air and missile defense planning, and satellite orbit analysis ...

Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) proposes to design and develop the Framework for Avionics Security Testing (FAST) to ensure the creation of cyber resilient aircraft systems by reducing testing complexity, reducing testing cost, and generating more valuable results. Just as Metasploit is an industry standard framework supporting offensive cyber on traditional IT systems, FAST is designed as a fr ...

Alphacore, Inc. proposes to design, simulate, and verify a radiation-hard fully-integrated gallium nitride (GaN) based V-band power amplifier (PA). As detailed in Air Force’s Phase I solicitation subtopic AF182-111 the designed power amplifier will exhibit greater than 30 W of saturated output power (Psat) at power added efficiency (PAE) level of >30%. The amplifier will maintain this outpu ...

The Air Force is seeking the development of an Antenna Electronics (AE) for a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) system that provides an anti-jam (AJ) capability covering four GNSS frequency bands. Existing AEs can provide simultaneous protection of L1 and L2 – but a navigation system utilizing L5 and E6 as well would improve satellite visibility, be more resistant to spoofing, and ...

Our ability to respond to new chemical and biological threats is limited by a lack of facilities, personnel, and equipment able to rapidly conduct precision molecular analysis. We can remove this bottleneck by deploying a protective network of new automated, high performance surveillance equipment around ordinary warfighters and civilians for the first time. Sensitive enough to detect all manner o ...

This work is focused on identifying the tradeoffs associated with modifying Kyma’s existing photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) technology in order to tailor the technology for applications of interest to the Air Force. The currently available PCSS devices were designed without any specific application in mind. Since there are inherent tradeoffs in terms of power handling, optical p ...

Problem: Smartphones and other mobile devices are becoming AF users’ primary digital tool, overtaking computers and desk phones as their go-to devices. However, these commercial devices are susceptible to being comprised, are carried with users everywhere, and are now restricted from secure spaces due to their ability to listen through microphones and watch through cameras. Blanket mobile d ...

SOURCE is a Hydropanel, a solar-powered technology needing only sunlight and air to make drinking water. Installed on a rooftop or on the ground, SOURCE extracts water vapor from the air to make, mineralize, and deliver drinking water to a tap. Uniquely independent of infrastructure, SOURCE is the only technology capable of making high-quality drinking water without plugging into an additional ele ...
