ABSTRACT: In Phase I, Advances in graph computing and data analytics are leveraged to demonstrate techniques for analyzing interactions among independent systems understanding emergent behaviors in SoS (e.g., agent based simulation). The focus is on integration of software tools to create an environment testbed for A2AD that allows for holistic and contiguous connection of data nodes, edges and ar ...

ABSTRACT: RightPSI, Inc. AF-151-169 Proposal # 2084 Volume One: Technical Abstract RightPSI has 8 years of experience in visual tire pressure indication. Research and engineering development has resulted in the Fill Through Tire Pressure Indicator (FTTPI), an effective, patented product for civilian vehicles. Popular Mechanics magazine recognized the product design with an Editors Choice Award in ...

ABSTRACT:Current analysis, detection and protection systems are mainly static and manually intensive. At the same time, the complexity of networked computing systems, their dynamic behavior, and the availability of many heterogeneous devices that are static and mobile make these tools incapable to accurately characterize current states, detect malicious attacks, and stop them or their fast propaga ...

ABSTRACT: The development of mid-infrared (Mid-IR) transparent fibers having low propagation loss in the wavelength range 2-5 micron, robust mechanical properties, low temperature sensitivity and high laser power delivery capability has been investigated extensively in the last decade. Chalcogenide glass fibers, fluoride glass fibers, tellurite glass fibers, and microstructured silica fibers have ...

ABSTRACT:Ogden Engineering & Associates, LLC (OE&A) and its teaming partners are proposing to develop a 0.5 to 1U high performance, green propulsion system using an ionic liquid monopropellant. This HAN/HGF based monopropellant has enhanced ignition characteristics and, as a result, can be used in power-constrained CubeSat applications. The team will develop a propulsion system which incorporates ...

ABSTRACT: The Air Force is interested in hypersonic (M>5) systems that enable time-critical missions for strike and Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR). Perhaps more so than for any other flight regime, precise and accurate sensing of key phenomena is difficult without contaminating the data being collected. Control Vision, Inc has developed unique optical profilometry technology whic ...

ABSTRACT: This proposal translates a non-toxic, aqueous-based, near room temperature electrodeposition process to completely eliminate Cr (VI) for the production of wear and corrosion resistant surfaces on high-strength steel. Specifically, our process will produce adherent and crack-free Re-based coatings that are extremely high-temperature (Tm of Re = 3180oC), lubricious, wear-resistant, and cor ...

ABSTRACT:The Air Force recognizes the need to monolithically integrate microelectronic devices constructed with dissimilar semiconductor materials on the same substrates, thus significantly reducing parts count and with the goal to develop a space qualifiable compound MMIC that can lead to construction of low noise/high speed circuits based on InGaAs HEMT technology monolithically integrated with ...

ABSTRACT:Both commercial and military aircraft are being flown/utilized for extended operational time; a more accurate prediction of residual life and the inspection interval for an individual aircraft is required, as these aging aircraft are kept in operational status. A technique for converting actual aircraft measured flight usage data into accurate calculated stresses/strains on the structural ...

ABSTRACT:The development of compact, reliable inertial navigation systems is essential for applications where GPS-based systems are ineffective or unavailable. This Phase I SBIR will establish the feasibility of developing an ultra-stable, compact, robust, integrated laser source suitable for atom-based precision navigation and timing (PNT) systems. AdvRs design is enabled by capitalizing on well- ...
