User Systems, Inc (USI) is developing the Unusual Activity or Inactivity Detector (UAID) to automatically search a time series of SAR imagery of a given location to find areas of interest. Changes between consecutive image pairs and movers in the scene ar

In Phase 1, Adaptive Dynamics Inc. (ADI) propose to do a PHY layer MATLAB simulation and optimization of the 'IMPS' Wideband MAGIC® Interference Mitigation (IM) filter for NOAA. This will demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the IMPS Wideband MAGIC® IM filter algorithm in effectively identifying and separating out unwanted interference from the desired signal of interest (SOI), without ...

Entanglement Technologies, Inc. (ET) proposes to develop a gas analyzer for ethane and isotopologues of methane to study of methane sources and sinks, using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). Methane is an important contributor to global climate change, and a participant in air pollutant reactions such as ozone. Understanding methane sources, sinks, and transport between them is crucial to pred ...

BlueRISCs proposed solution takes the form of a binary-level toolkit that provides a fundamentally new approach to enable the extraction of a vulnerability-focused architectural model as well as an interactive security-focused visualization framework from an embedded software binary without any source-code knowledge.It is based on a conceptual framework that is able to identify and model external ...

GrammaTech proposes Panorama, an architecture recovery platform for embedded binary software that:- Identifies component boundaries and data flows between components.- Helps determine critical, security-relevant locations in the software.- Provides the ability to drill down into individual components to inspect critical access points for flaws.To be an effective analysis platform for the auditor, ...

To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

Cyber deception can be used not only as a cyber attack detection mechanism but also as an effective way help friendly forces in response to a cyber attack detection.

Defending against state-of-the-art cyber attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats requires the capability to counter the adversarys actions after they have already gained a foothold within our networks. Network deception techniques, working in conjunction with normal cyber defense methods, can alter the underlying attack process, making it more difficult, time consuming, and cost prohibitive fo ...

Metronome Software develops a Domain Encryption (DomCrypt) system for securing Android-based Commercial Off The Shield (COTS) mobile devices. DomCrypt software suite, through its creation of separate DomCrypt-encrypted domains, provides the warfighters the means for accessing and dynamically sharing data in a variety of formats using COTS mobile devices. Metronome also employs a strong-security fo ...

We propose to develop a line of mobile security products that provide transparent protection for wireless and wired communication. The products can be deployed either as a wireless or cellular access point (WAP) or inserted within the wired Gigabit Ethernet path to a computer or subnet. Our approach leverages lessons learned from DoD PL5 high-assurance guards (HAGs) with pre-configured public-key ...
