3 Sigma Research and Professor Sushil Jajodia propose an innovative technology that protects against

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project proposes a solar-based expandable, parallel-connected power system with robust maximum power point tracking (MPPT) capability. As the need for flexible, scalable solar power requirements increases,and in an effort to avoid the redesign of the solar based power systems, a modular infrastructure of power processing management is implemented fo ...

The Athena Group will implement an innovative, low-power fast Fourier transform (FFT), digital excision filter (DEF), and inverse FFT (IFFT) processor for use in mitigating both intentional and unintentional narrowband jamming and interference in handheldglobal positioning system (GPS) receivers. Athena's advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology is capable of performance per unit power ...

The Air Force has identified a need to develop innovative concepts that use low-value assets to gather timely and accurate bomb damage assessment (BDA) information. The focus of the Phase II research is to develop a munition deployed micro air vehicle(MAV) for BDA applications. The concept is to attach an expendable MAV to an air-launched munition. The MAV, which is housed in a parachute-equipp ...

The U.S. Air Force is pursuing the development of guided small diameter bombs (SDBs) while imposing challenging requirements for high-altitude launches at relatively slow speeds. Recognizing that such systems and requirements may preclude the use ofconventional fuzes (e.g., the FMU-152), the Air Force has initiated efforts to develop innovative fuzes which do not derive arming power from the trad ...

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 ...

High efficiency narrowband infrared reflectors are being considered for applications in optical communications, remote sensing, optical limiting and laser hardening. In order to protect space-based sensors without diminishing the capabilities of thesecomponents, it is necessary to reflect impinging optical beams at threat wavelengths while supporting high optical transmission at detection waveleng ...

The goal of this project is to develop an XML-driven platform that will rapidly determine the hazards associated with a collection of chemicals at a given location. Beginning with a query consisting of location, date, and time, the CHAIN (Chemical HazardAssessment Information Network) system will prioritize the materials at the location to provide a ranked list by hazard along with recommended pro ...
