At present, there is no certified/accredited Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video that can support more than two domains.The desired IOC end state for the new MDAVS technology is a fundamentally new architecture that supports more than two simultaneous domains and can manage much larger numbers of concurrent calls while supporting high definition vide ...

OCCAM is software for Tactical Information Management. It is designed to enable the most relevant information to be identified and transmitted to units at the tactical edge.

This first phase will be the beginning of a complete and comprehensive program that will improve UUV detection and classification through advanced processing methods, data fusion and sensor integration. This will enhance current and future harbor protection systems to counter the emerging underwater threat. Phase 1 will result in a system design that will be developed based on a thorough assessmen ...

Contractor will develop innovative concepts and techniques to develop target recognition approaches focused on cognitive synthesis of current and emerging sensor data sources.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))

Gallium nitride (GaN) has opened the door to solid-state replacements of tube type amplifiers, with commercially-available units starting at low frequencies and continuing to Ku-band.Lower frequencies amplifiers can be constructed using hybrid techniques, where unmatched power field effect transistors (FETs) of large periphery can be made into unit-cell amplifiers using microstrip matching network ...

Luna Innovations will develop technology to nondestructively detect red plague in silver-plated copper wire. The galvanic corrosion between silver and copper which causes red plague is not reliably detectable with conventional cable test equipment and methods and detection instead relies upon destructive techniques, such as stripping off the insulation. Nondestructive red plague detection technolo ...

Vadum will develop a handheld Multi-Modal Galvanic Corrosion Sensor (MMGCS) to detect hidden corrosion, such as under paint, in missile, aircraft, and ship structures before it can be detected by traditional non-destructive testingand visual methods. The sensor head ensures optimal alignment of transmit and receive antennas for non-contacting near-field measurements. The transceiver can sweep the ...

Conducting operations and defending the nations critical networks in cyberspace requires processing and analyzing massive quantities of graph data in near-real time.New approaches for high performance graph analytics and query are needed for cyber defense and operations at massive data scales. Scaling graphs is a hard problem.Due to non-locality, CPU-based solutions are limited bymain memory bandw ...

Signature management technology such as camouflage coatings on military tactical vehicles significantly reduces detection by enemy combatants. Black tires and tracks, however, are in direct contrast to the vehicle and surroundings and constitute a large portion of the vehicle profile. To satisfy this need in Phase I Luna developed a durable, color-matching coating that can be simply applied to tir ...

Rotorcraft landing and takeoff is dangerous in environments where obstacles, particularly wires or power lines, exist, and pilot vision is degraded by obscurants such as dust, smoke, fog, rain and snow. This SBIR would focus on a radar solution to detecting wires and power cables when landing in a visually degraded environment. Existing data for wires and power lines with millimeter wave radars pr ...
