Earths outer radiation belt, which consists of electrons with hundreds of keV to MeV energies, is a highly dynamic and driven environment.The large variations in electron flux, if unaccounted for, can cause satellites that travel through this complex region to experience anomalous behavior ranging from temporary satellite outages due to electrostatic discharge events in system electronics to poten ...

SIFT proposes Network Enforcement Using TRansactONs (NEUTRON) a dynamic fine-grained network enforcement policy design that captures network dependencies.NEUTRON closes the knowledge gap between mission needs and observed network traffic to increase mission network awareness. Then using that knowledge develops a revolutionary security enforcement policy based on network transactions.It reduces the ...

Ross-Hime Designs, Inc. (RHD) Minneapolis, Minnesota is responding to MDAs Phase I SBIR solicitation Advanced Lightweight, Low Cost High-g Seeker Gimbal. RHDs design features 40 degrees of Az/El and is built almost entirely out of COTS components used in current production seeker gimbals. Building on the past SBIR contract Lightweight, Low-Cost Seeker Gimbals Army Space Missile Defense Command con ...

Trusted Semiconductor Solutions will demonstrate how high-reliability substrate material, leading-edge commercial memories, advanced manufacturing processing, and our radiation circumvention and recovery approach enables high density electronic payloads needed for next generation guided missile and space applications. We will develop a prototype system-in-package (SiP) that utilizes commercial mem ...

Foundry Defense Systems, Inc. (FDSI) proposes to ensure the the USAF is poised to leverage the latest Non-geo Symchronous Orbit Satellite Constellation as it comes online, versus the traditional years of delay to access a new networking capability.Through this Phase I and follow-on efforts FDSI will access emerging technical capabilities of Non-geo Synchronous Orbit satellite constellations to pro ...

SIFT proposes Community of Measured Peers (COMPEER) an integrated collaboration environment that addresses the security and reputation requirements of the Intelligence Community (IC) for discovering new resources within the IC and on the Internet.The word compeer, means a person of equal rank.In COMPEER all source start out with the same reputation, regardless of type; person report, software, or ...

Integrated Arrival Departure Surface (IADS) traffic management solutions require accurate information about aircraft on the airport surface, from the gate to the runway. Only a small fraction of airports have surface surveillance and in almost every case coverage is limited to the airport’s movement area. A solution is needed that can compensate for the shortage of surveillance and is economic ...

The Predictor of Airport Runway Capacity (PARC) is a decision support tool for air traffic managers to estimate the near-term capacity of the individual runways of an airport for traffic planning and control. To estimate runway capacity, PARC analyzes historical data describing an airport’s traffic movements, operating conditions, operating procedures, and geospatial data to determine the time i ...

To more quickly analyze sensor and other data near the tactical edge, allowing faster reaction and ensuring mission success, the Air Force has expressed the need for an agile tactical cloud capable of in-mission data processing and storage.Architecture Technology Corporation proposes Mission-Optimized Aerial Cloud Environment (MACE), managing resources distributed across multiple aerial vehicles t ...

Fast Authentication for Tactical Interfaces (FATI) provides continuous EUD authentication through the use of multiple biometric identifiers.FATI eliminates the need for intentional user input to keep the EUD unlocked so long as the EUD remains under the direct control of the authorized user.When positive biometric identification cannot be made, FATI locks the EUD to preclude unauthorized access.Th ...
