3 Sigma Research and Professor Sushil Jajodia propose an innovative technology that protects against "information leaks" by insiders, called Document Theft Reactive Attack Protection. DocTRAP: 1) protects against insider theft of sensitive electronic documents, 2) detects malicious insider activity, and 3) reacts to keep the sensitive information from leaving the protected boundary of the interna ...

Communications security (COMSEC) role in space continues to grow as the available bandwidth expands. The DOD Transformational Communications (TC) vision will transform the space, air, and ground networks into a fully integrated internet-like network. This vision requires cryptographic architectures that satisfy Crypto Modernization requirements, can host current and future cryptographic algori ...

CCT proposes a model driven composable architecture for C3I gateway systems that will provide a generic platform independent software toolkit for creation of communication gateways. This new approach will simplify interoperability of new and legacy systems by leveraging transport and semantic exchange standardization. Use of product line architecture methods will be employed to ensure large-scale ...

Threat simulation laboratories, such Wright Patterson's Integrated Demonstration and Applications Laboratory require realistic simulations of aircraft navigation systems to distribute the time critical platform information to various RF based geolocation position development systems (ATAR, AT3). The current IDAL INS platform simulations model the interaction between the aircraft INS / GPS to pr ...

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) of dynamic, real-time, environments with simulated and actual avionics hardware provides a synthetic environment to evaluate subsystem integration, demonstrate interoperability capabilities, and provides interactive cause and effect analysis of complex systems. These "systems of system" test approach to hardware-in-the-loop testing relies on accurate simulation of s ...

Many High Power Microwave and Laser based Directed Energy Weapon Systems need electric power in the megawatt range. For airborne applications high power density light weight power source is needed. This proposal addresses development of a 2.5 MW generator operating at 15000 RPM for the airborne DEW applications. The technology used in the design is based on non-superconducting approach used in air ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop lightweight, low-cost and environmentally friendly biologically inspired thermal detection technology for military and commercial applications. To meet such requirements with biologically inspired molecules, we plan to develop and show with a materials perspective, how these materials can sense thermal/infrared (IR) radiation to ...

This Phase II program will demonstrate a full scale production capable high speed forging process to convert aplha beta titanium alloys to a fine grain alpha beta microstructure from a titanium 6Al-4V ingot microstructure and to provide full scale ring and disk forgings with a controlled microstructure for qualification of the process for use by aerospace OEM's. Process models and simulation tools ...

This phase I SBIR program will investigate the feasibility of direct manufacturing of nickel base IN 718 diffuser cases using unique metal deposition and machining approaches. A conceptual design and sub-element demonstration will be completed. Value Stream Analysis and process cost modeling will be conducted to confirm the anticipated cost and manufacturing cycle time reductions of 35% and 50%, r ...

The cost of manufacturing integrally bladed rotors for large gas turbine engines is high driven by the cost of raw material, rough machining, and airfoil machining. This project will address these cost drivers by identifying methods to reduce forging weight through aggressive near-net shape forging methods, exploiting the use of fine-grain processing to improve forgeability, and demonstrate enhan ...
