The Navy and Marine Corps currently protect their Data-at-Rest (DAR) storage using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology. PKI protects data based on a single security key pair allowing only a single individual to decrypt the data; thus making it unsuitable for an environment where multiple individuals, satisfying an access policy, would be able to decrypt the data. Therefore, Archi ...

The main challenges of treating post-combatant PTSD include getting patients into treatment, keeping them engaged, and motivating them to complete out-of-session take-home work. SAGA (Sequential Art via Game Assistance) addresses these challenges by providing PTSD patients an engaging and educational game environment that helps them understand and communicate their trauma while creating a graphic ...

From a provider perspective, the effective and evidence-based treatment of post-deployment psycho-logical health issues is time intensive and costly. For the patient, therapy is hard work and successful recovery is dependent on motivation and social support. CALM - Customized Anger Level Manage-ment - is a web-based, therapist-assisted and self-paced stress- and anger management toolkit, consist-i ...

The proposed ADEPT technology combines the science of cognitive psychology with centuries of magicians'practical performance experience to create a new science of deception for computer security. The ADEPT approach learns about the motives and real-world attributes of people by analyzing their cognitive processes based on their reactions to specifically designed stimuli. The resulting t ...

Architecture Technology Corporation (ATC) proposes the Decision Assistance, Visualization, and Intuitive Natural Control Interface (DAVINCI), a system that provides decision assistance through a multi-level topic-mapped knowledge base, abstract visualization of situational and metric data, and high-level abstract control of manually initiated and autonomic response protocols through a tangible use ...

ABSTRACT: The USAF has identified the need for a ciphertext-side (CT-side) proxy to enhance the performance of military applications operating over a crypto-partitioned GIG environment. Such a capability is needed because the plaintext-side (PT-side) performance enhancing proxy (PEP) approaches that are currently employed suffer from one or more of the following limitations: (1) Poor performance ...

ABSTRACT: Secure and efficient IP multicast improves efficiency of bandwidth utilization in tactical networks such as the Airborne Networks and facilitates effective and timely dissemination of mission critical information among tactical edge users. In this SBIR effort, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATC) proposes an innovative Adaptive and Integrated Multicast for the Airborne Networks (AI ...

ABSTRACT: SIFT proposes to design D-HAMMER a real-time autonomous on-board constraint- and model-based planning system to meet the challenges of fielding responsive, survivable, and cost-effective on-board autonomy for Air Force satellites. D-HAMMER is a three layer on-board autonomy architecture that combines a high-level mission planner and coordination system, a threat response planner, ...

ABSTRACT: The military have been challenged to find ways of effectively shielding sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) without adding a lot of weight to satellites (the more massive they are, the more fuel they need to achieve orbit). Copper wiring comprises one-third of the weight of a 15-ton satellite. Half of this wire weight is typically in the EMI shieldin ...

ABSTRACT: A better understanding of the thermo-mechanical response, characteristics and properties of materials can lead to improved device performance as well as facilitate the design of new devices and materials for various applications. Although there has been significant progress in the development of micro/nanomechanical testing techniques and tools over the last decade, commercially availab ...
