The ISABEL program will create symbolic execution signatures to classify bugs in the NIST Bugs Framework. Using the symbolic execution signature ISABEL will find a program input to trigger the bug using fuzz testing. ISABEL will integrate its bug categorization and bug triggering capability with a software development environment using a flexible framework that will allow both open source and comm ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase 1 project will evaluate the feasibility of an innovative optical sizer for estimating drop sizes in sprays that have very small drops. The technique is based on the NIST provisional patent (application number 62/358,264). The NIST invention sorts particles by size over the range of 10nm to 10μm. Drop sizing is achieved in these sprays using an intense ...

NASA has shown that automated mission planning and scheduling can increase satellite flexibility and operational tempo, increase satellite utilization, decrease both uplink and downlink requirements, and decrease operational costs. However, significant work is still required to transition NASA's existing automated mission planning software to Air Force satellite operations. The Air Force is ...

This Phase I program sets out to capitalize on recent advances in epitaxial growth of -Ga2O3 which have the potential to significantly improve upon the performance of currently available power electronics devices. Specifically, -Ga2O3, offers fundamental properties such as its ability to withstand very large electric fields that suggest its use as a power electronics material will lead to device p ...

Wolf is developing a new technology for reducing glare near the Sun for daylight satellite tracking operations, dramatically reducing the exclusion angle around the Sun. The technology will also prevent saturation of the camera sensor and will preserve a

SIFT proposes Community of Measured Peers (COMPEER) an integrated collaboration environment that addresses the security and reputation requirements of the Intelligence Community (IC) for discovering new resources within isolated IC enclaves and on the Int

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies

The primary objectives of the proposed effort are to enhance, expand, and validate a variable-fidelity transient multi-domain software toolset called ATTMO+ for predicting and analyzing the dynamic interactions at a mission-level timescale between electri

SIFT proposes to implement and validate GEMINI (Gestalt Mixed-Initiative Intelligence), a shared workspace for human-machine intelligence analysis that leverages human and machine cognitive strengths. Our Phase I prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the technology. GEMINIs information exploitation interface translates the users actions into structured knowledge and goals. It decomposes goa ...
