ABSTRACT: The Numericus Group, LLC has demonstrated during Phase I that our new approach to digital filtering vastly outperforms existing algorithms. At the heart of this new approach are algorithms that are guaranteed to converge and do not require an expert to oversee their operation, unlike many existing algorithms commonly used today. The new approach allows us to automatically design robust, ...

ABSTRACT: SIFT's Phase 2 Hy-CIRCA proposal builds on progress in Phase 1 to address the challenge of effectively, reliably, and safely tasking cooperating teams of autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPSs). SIFT's Playbook(tm) interface approach provides high-level, goal-based tasking for multi-agent autonomous missions. SIFT's Cooperative Intelligent Real-Time Control Architecture (CIRCA) automa ...

The SEAKR team proposes to continue development of the advanced protocol routing system begun in the Phase I effort, to reduce risk toward a flight deployable system for SATCOM assets such as Iridium NEXT. SEAKRs development of the Iridium NEXT modem...

The overall project objective is to develop and demonstrate a software package based on Fermi kinetics charge transport and Delaunay/Voronoi field discretization that accurately predicts semiconductor device behavior from DC up through the mm-wave and TH...

In Phase I, Vadum will develop a signal processing module designed to fuse data from multiple heterogeneous, multi-tiered sensors, as well as asoftware prototype demonstrating the automation of the fusion process for presentation to a Brigade Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear(CBRN) analyst. The techniques developed will incorporate Chemical/Biological (CB) agent detection sensors, non-CB se ...

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) requires a container for the safe transportation of chemically or biologically contaminated materials, in accordance with DOD, federal and international standards.These materials must be packaged in a manner so that they arrive at their destination in good condition and without presenting a hazard to nearby persons during transport.The packaging requir ...

U.S. forces require the ability to protect personnel from an attack by chemical warfare (CW) agents. TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) is currently developing novel chemistry to mitigate the effects of CW agents. In this effort TDA will extend the development of a

ABSTRACT: Hypersonic vehicles require insulation systems that mitigate thermal radiation and provide structural support while exposed to severe thermal, material and mechanical stresses.To sustain hypersonic flight and to allow for atmospheric entry, an insulator capable of surviving temperatures up to 2000K (1727C) is required, whose properties (surface finish, bulk porosity, etc.) can be manipul ...
