Earths outer radiation belt, which consists of electrons with hundreds of keV to MeV energies, is a highly dynamic and driven environment.The large variations in electron flux, if unaccounted for, can cause satellites that travel through this complex region to experience anomalous behavior ranging from temporary satellite outages due to electrostatic discharge events in system electronics to poten ...

SIFT proposes Network Enforcement Using TRansactONs (NEUTRON) a dynamic fine-grained network enforcement policy design that captures network dependencies.NEUTRON closes the knowledge gap between mission needs and observed network traffic to increase mission network awareness. Then using that knowledge develops a revolutionary security enforcement policy based on network transactions.It reduces the ...

Foundry Defense Systems, Inc. (FDSI) proposes to ensure the the USAF is poised to leverage the latest Non-geo Symchronous Orbit Satellite Constellation as it comes online, versus the traditional years of delay to access a new networking capability.Through this Phase I and follow-on efforts FDSI will access emerging technical capabilities of Non-geo Synchronous Orbit satellite constellations to pro ...

To more quickly analyze sensor and other data near the tactical edge, allowing faster reaction and ensuring mission success, the Air Force has expressed the need for an agile tactical cloud capable of in-mission data processing and storage.Architecture Technology Corporation proposes Mission-Optimized Aerial Cloud Environment (MACE), managing resources distributed across multiple aerial vehicles t ...

Fast Authentication for Tactical Interfaces (FATI) provides continuous EUD authentication through the use of multiple biometric identifiers.FATI eliminates the need for intentional user input to keep the EUD unlocked so long as the EUD remains under the direct control of the authorized user.When positive biometric identification cannot be made, FATI locks the EUD to preclude unauthorized access.Th ...

SIFT proposes Community of Measured Peers (COMPEER) an integrated collaboration environment that addresses the security and reputation requirements of the Intelligence Community (IC) for discovering new resources within the IC and on the Internet.The word compeer, means a person of equal rank.In COMPEER all source start out with the same reputation, regardless of type; person report, software, or ...

Reliable, high-sensitivity and high-resolution photon detectors, which can alleviate major limitations imposed by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), for future high energy physics (HEP) and nuclear physics (NP) experiments, are of great interest to DOE- Other fields that could greatly benefit from these detectors include Cherenkov telescopes in astrophysics, positron emission tomography (PET) in medica ...

A recent report from the Defense Science Board on cyber deterrence states that we have only seen the “virtual tip of the cyberattack iceberg.” This report warns that for at least the next 5-10 years, other nations will have offensive cyber capabilities that “far exceed the United States’ ability to defend and adequately strengthen the resilience of its critical infrastructures” and will ...

Brown grease, from trap grease and wastewater floatable mass, has substantial potential as a raw material to produce sustainable biofuels and biochemicals, but high sulfur, water, and impurities contents make processing difficult or end products outside of specifications. A good percentage of brown grease ends up in landfills. This project addresses the ability to turn brown grease into clean prod ...

In topic 11.b, Dispatchable Geothermal Operations, the Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to enable more widespread deployment of geothermal as a dispatchable energy source, permitting expansion of geothermal power in general and as a compliment to growing intermittent energy sources. TerraCOH’s CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG™) and Earth Battery™ technologies are ideally suited to meet and exceed t ...
