Award Data

This contract will develop and demonstrate the capability to capture and process data from any sensor without apriori knowledge of the sensor or its model. We will develop the software libraries to process sensor data captured in the format standarddeveloped in phase I. The software libraries will be integrated into the Joint Sensor Integration Fusion Testbed (JSIFT) at AFRL/SNAR and demonstrate ...

The objective of this proposal is to continue development of a Long-Stroke Isolation System for Large Space Structures. The Phase II effort will see the development of a one DOF System Test Bed (STB) for further validation of ARM component models. TheSTB will be designed to represent the lightly damped, highly flexible nature of the ARM structure and will be adequately instrumented for system id ...

The objective of the proposed research is to develop both an advanced design methodology and an innovative process for designing and manufacturing novel composite materials for future military air vehicles. The proposed new design methodology, referred toas function-oriented material design (FOMD), will provide an effective tool for the optimal design of structurally efficient composites, such as ...

Zweave's Phase I project revealed a significant need for utilizing accurate 3-D anthropometric data in requirements planning, design and accommodation testing of flight equipment, personnel protection items, and apparel and footwear products. In Phase II,Zweave is proposing to deliver a critical information system for the US Air Force that addresses the most significant challenges faced by anthrop ...

The objective of the proposed program is to develop a payload expulsion system for a munition capable of attacking hardened high-value targets far underground. Munition payloads will be specially designed to neutralize/defeat specific targets, such asfacilities pertaining to weapons of mass destruction, without causing excessive collateral damage. Based on information generated by a sophisticated ...

Impact Technologies, in collaboration with Epoch Engineering, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls Royce/Allison, is currently developing a unique health management system that integrates high fidelity, vibration and acoustic emissions data with advanced featureextraction and fault isolation algorithms to effectively assess turbine engine rotordynamic and mechanical system faults. The prototype system that ...

Advance millimeter wave (MMW) transceivers are needed to further enhance the U.S. military current and future communication, detection and guidance systems. TLC will develop and demonstrate a unique low-cost, wire-bond-free, 70-94 GHz W-band antennaintegrated MMIC transceiver that also meet commercial performance, low price, and simplicity requirements. This transceiver will also provide excelle ...

A novel method of intraweapon wireless communications using magnetic field transmissions was demonstrated during the Phase I portion of this program. Normal physical wire communication links cannot be expected to survive during and after targetpenetration. Therefore, various methods of wireless communication within a metal cylinder 15 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length were evaluated and c ...

Buffer-overrun vulnerabilities in programs are responsible for a huge percentage of security breaches worldwide. The widespread use of dynamic testing tools to detect these vulnerabilities has failed to halt or prevent the problem. We propose thedevelopment of a semi-automatic tool for detecting these vulnerabilities statically. Static approaches are superior to dynamic approaches because they ...

The Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) program needs an object repository for secure, reliable storage and retrieval of JBI objects. ATC-NY will construct ORIS, a peer-to-peer object repository suitable for the JBI. Self-organizing peer-to-peer networkshave proven to be robust and scalable to very large numbers of nodes and objects. However, current peer-to-peer substrates are not suitable for ...
