In this effort, Innoveering will integrate and test a closed-loop active control system for scramjet isolator shock system positioning. The approach is to control the fuel flow to the engine to position the shock train leading edge at a specified location in the isolator. The control system includes three basic elements: a shock position sensing system based, a fast response fuel valve that adjust ...

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology is in wide use today and has been successfully integrated into a number of applications. Although there are also many potential applications for automatic speaker identification (SID), SID accuracy rates are generally not sufficient for widespread use in practical applications. For high accuracy ASR and SID, the microphone must be located near the talk ...

Our Phase I work focused on improving modeling and simulations so that the impact of autonomous systems in the battlespace could be better understood. As we have trained our attention on Phase II, it has become increasingly clear that the work we are doing to improve the modeling and simulation of autonomous systems also provides significant leverage for the development of the intelligent behavior ...

Novel algorithms were developed for ecient multi-sensor fusion of correlated high-dimensional data to support target detection. In our compressive sensing framework, high-dimensional data is compressed using low dimensional random projection matrices. When the high-dimensional data exhibits low-dimensional structures, this scheme is capable of capturing all the significant informative with fewer r ...

ABSTRACT: In this effort selected SBIR technologies will be matured and merged to establish the Adaptive Cyber-secure Cross-layer Communications-Classification System (AC4S) for enhancing the throughput, spectral efficiency, speed, reliability and security performance of software defined radio (SDR) communication networks. One of the core technologies that forms the basis of AC4S is the AXL-ROSA s ...

AIS proposes the Thunderlane effort to define a new operating system model that radically dissolves the boundary between hypervisor and operating system, and leverages state-of-the-art software diversity techniques. In concert, these capabilities provide unparalleled resistance against reverse-engineering, and ensure the reliability and security of application and system software. The Thunderlane ...

There are many challenges in creating Air Force systems that are resilient against cyber threats. The cyber environment and its threats are highly dynamic, requiring practices and training to be dynamic as well. Cyber threats must be considered during th...

GrammaTech proposes WARP, a tool for Weaving Application-specific Runtime Policies into embedded systems binaries.Perimeter defenses such as firewalls or network filters provide insufficient security and generic inline defenses such as control flow or ...

This proposal describes the development of a process to synthesize low defect Ge1-xSnx and SiyGe1-x-ySnx layers on silicon and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates through low thermal budget excimer laser and rapid thermal annealing/crystallization for ...
