A Publish and Subscribe (P&S) architecture forms the foundation of the Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) system, which is composed of protocols, processes, and common core functions permitting participating applications and organizations to share andexchange mission-critical information in a timely manner. The Air Force is examining various P&S standards that have the potential of forming the bas ...

Recent military efforts have illustrated the difficulty for conventional weapons to find and defeat

High Speed Timed Idiosyncratic Signatures Such an idiosyncratic signature will allow a publisher of software to key the program to certain computers and make moving of such software very difficult. This technology has high applicability for publishers ofanti-piracy software as well as to ensure that sensitive software or information will not be moved to another location. This allows an overall in ...

We begin with the observation that table interpretation, or embedded interpreters, is an effective technique for software reverse engineering protection. The scientific literature does not indicate any attempt to address the technical problems required toimplement table interpretation as a general automatic software protection technique. We propose an architecture that is capable of automaticall ...

Moore's law states that computing performance doubles every 18 months. While this has held true for 40 years, it is widely believed that this will soon come to an end. Increases in performance coincide with decreases in scale on the computer platform. Dueto the small scale of computer components, both interference effects are starting to play a role in the development of new components. This impli ...

This proposal describes the design and creation of an interface for controlling multiple UAVs in a real-time situation. Named the Uninhabited Air Vehicle Management Interface (UAVMI), it is centered on a 3-dimensional graphical representation of theoperational geographic area. The operator is able to move a 3D cursor around within this geographic volume, selecting groups, paths, and targets in 3D ...

Low-power Hall thrusters offer potentially important advantages for certain military applications but issues of lifetime and efficiency degradation at lower powers are issues hindering its utilization. A factor impacting efficiency is that thestate-of-the-art techniques for electron generation used for neutralization (such as hollow cathodes operating on the same propellant as the thruster) do no ...

Today's weapon systems and engagement doctrine are highly complex. Attempting to understand and glean important details from tabular data, end game results, and 2-D graphs is difficult. Providing a 3-D real-time representation consolidates all availablekinematic information into a single presentation. This enables observation of engineering level information in the physical realm by viewing actual ...

Freestyle Technology, Inc. proses to design an build a six-camera video imaging device for use in navigation research. The individual cameras will be attached to two-meter tethers to allow for flexible placement on a variety of platforms. All cameraswill be genlocked to a common signal to assure that corresponding pixels in each camera are sampled at the same time. A user interface will be prov ...

Freestyle Technologies, Inc. proposes to perform exploratory research in the area of munition-deployed microprobes. The baseline microprobe will consist of simple acoustic and sesmic sensors and will be deployed by an autonomous munition at locations ofinterest. Once deployed, the microprobes will form an ad hoc wireless network and passively monitor for targets. The microprobes will signal the ...
