ABSTRACT: The Commodities Sustainment Group (CMXG) at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) is in the process of re-architecting their organization to operate as a production system designed to work like a finely tuned machine. The envisioned machine will be structured in such a way that leadership elements at all levels of the commodities sustainment enterprise can readily assess the stat ...

ABSTRACT: Chromium is one of the most widely used industrial metals. Several million workers worldwide are estimated to be exposed to chromium compounds in a variety of industries, including electroplating, welding, and chromate painting. Hexavalent chromium (a.k.a., chromate or Cr(VI)) via inhalation exposure is known to be carcinogenic in humans, resulting in an increased risk of lung cancer. ...

ABSTRACT: Kerberos and SwRI plan to develop and evaluate new monitoring and broadcasting methods in a laboratory environment in the context of expected current and future military RF operating environments. Our proposed solution, called Electromagnetic Spectrum Monitor & Broadcast System (EMBS), will create a low-cost, small packaged device that can emulate anticipated opposing force broadcastin ...

Ascendant Engineering Solutions (AES) proposes to develop a Stabilized Laser and Tracking System (SLATS) for handheld Laser Target Markers (LTM). AES will leverage existing low-latency target tracking and their laser beam stabilization technologies to provide a mature solution to AFRL. As part of the Phase I program, AES will build and demonstrate the basic technology in a TRL5"brassboard"system. ...

ABSTRACT: IJK Controls is proposing to develop high bandwidth on-the-move system using proven optical antennas and radio antennas combined with novel approaches to pointing, acquisition and tracking. Recent successful demonstrations of free space optical communication (FSOC) in the FOENEX program showed that 10 Gbps between airborne nodes with reasonable size, weight and power is achievable. IJ ...

ABSTRACT: This project will investigate the feasibility of a computing appliance which uses Temporal Virtualization to help ameliorate the effects of malicious software activity. Temporal Virtualization involves the manipulation of virtual time in Type-2 (software) virtual clients in a way that frustrates an adversary"s attempts to corrupt or break out of virtualization. An attack model is assume ...

ABSTRACT: Our vision of a new paradigm moves software performance analysis from an isolated set of tools that require laborious manual transfer of information among design and analysis tools to an integrated framework in which independent tools share information automatically and seamlessly. This framework provides true automated capability for analyzing the performance of system architectures an ...

ABSTRACT: The intercommunication data rate (IDR) of legacy aircraft is a limiting factor for transferring data between positions on the platform. Future planned capabilities, like the Advanced Tactical Data Link (ATDL), will require a significant increase in IDR, which typically requires an expensive, time-consuming retrofit of the legacy platform to install networking cables or fibers. 5-D has ...

ABSTRACT: The DoD and IC trusted desktop programs have typically been limited to small, fixed numbers of domains due to having to run multiple instances of Microsoft Windows. The next frontier for the DoD and IC is mobile devices, and in this context, Android (and more specifically, SEAndroid) can support Mandatory Access Control separation mechanisms in the core OS via SEAndroid security polici ...

ABSTRACT: Current Air Force mission planning systems require that users manually enter flight paths. For the emerging class of airborne communications platforms this is sub-optimal. The mission of these platforms is to extend communications ranges and enable enhanced (particularly IP-based) connectivity for other mission elements. This calls for a new type of planning system. Rather than having e ...
