ABSTRACT:The objective of this effort is to perform tasks associated with development and maturation of Universal Serial Bus (USB) port security technology for securing Air Force systems from attack and data loss over USB.The proposed demonstration promises significant improvements in USB port security.Improved hardware and software will be needed to address the current Air Force IT security gap r ...

ABSTRACT:The DOD needs a multiple pulse X-ray imaging system with high frame rate capability to measure the motion of the target ballast and characterize the debris cloud generated during hypervelocity impacts. Such imaging capability is of vital importance for designing new long-range missile systems with improved accuracy, for assessing damage to the target upon impact to determine its lethality ...

ABSTRACT:Emergence and feasibility for flexible body-worn electronics and particularly medical patches requires high performance electronics capability.The problem is that these new technologies must have flexible and conformal physical formats and conventional electronic components are not in any way flexible. In the CLAS Phase I program, a new flexible high-performance manufacturing and material ...

ABSTRACT: Underground facilities can be used by rogue governments to conceal command-and-control and to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, and are an increasingly important operational challenge to U.S. military forces. Our objective is to determine improved methods of detection essential to address this critical intelligence need. Activity below the ground causes seismic surface waves th ...

ABSTRACT: SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to mature and transition SI2"s Direct Write printed honeycomb core technology to AFRL and other DoD applications. Transitioning SI2"s honeycomb core product is beneficial to the Air Force to maintain availability and affordability. The stakeholders have developed a program to mature and transition the printed honeycomb core product. The program i ...

ABSTRACT: As unmanned aerial vehicles have become equipped with high-quality cameras, the warfighter has gained access to large quantities of video and motion imagery with both wider areas of coverage and finer resolutions. For these data to be truly useful, the warfighter needs to be able to precisely geo-locate any pixel in the imagery. As no geo-location algorithm will be perfect, the warfig ...

ABSTRACT: ORS requires rapid delivery of low-cost payloads that meet the needs of unplanned and unanticipated spacecraft missions. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will provide ORS, the Air Force, and other customers with a low-cost, rapidly-fabricated deployable antenna for use in a wide range of potential RF missions. The PSI team will use a combination of commercially available manufacturing techn ...

ABSTRACT: LongShortWay Inc, Boston University, and Applied Communication Sciences propose to develop a dynamic multi-sensor learning system that can adaptively detect target types and activities and schedule sensors to optimize the detection rate BENEFIT: Improved detection rate, increase field of view

ABSTRACT: Busek Co. Inc. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) propose to explore the physical limits of ionic liquid propulsion via development of new theory to explain effects of close packing emission density and to predict performance limits. The research is motivated by observations and tests demonstrating that emission from 2-dimensional porous surfaces yields order of magnitude g ...

ABSTRACT: This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project seeks to further develop an AR coating on high efficiency PV device surface that can enable a reflection loss < 3% over the wavelength range from 300 nm to 1800 nm. The proposed effort will optimize the coating design and the coating process of the broadband AR coating so that it can be integrated into PV cell products. Standard t ...
