This SBIR effort proposes to develop tools that enable a capability in tamper proof source code. The proposed methods will protect against several modes of attack including malicious programmers, source code viruses, and system worms. The tools and techniques proposed are based on the fundamental logical structure of the application under protection and offer dynamic monitor and control of runtim ...

Anautics proposes to discover, research, and evaluate new technologies, methods and tools, as well as recommend demonstrated capabilities known to them through working with Industry, Universities, Aging Aircraft, CASI and COSSI projects. While many systems promise to integrate all aspects of your enterprise, most enterprises don't deal with Depot MRO and the government aspects in one enterprise. ...

The proposed system shall have the ability to learn from past actions and recommend best course of action for a maintainer. The proposed research is expected to benefit managers, equipment specialists, engineers, planners, schedulers, supervisors, and mechanics. Cost and flow day reduction benefits for depot should result from reduced time for diagnosis and repair, accurate information on part p ...

"Critical gears and engine bearings in our newest vertical thrust aircraft must operate with absolute reliability under high loads, high heat, corrosive salt air and intervals without lubricant. Current gear and bearing materials meet the design requirements, however, it is desirable to improve the component durability under unexpected severe operation (longer oil off) or extreme environmental (c ...

Current engine bearing lubrication technology begins to break down at the high rotation speeds, loads and temperatures required for advanced fighter engines. Furthermore, in combat operation bearings may have to operate for short periods with no lubrication, and also resist pervasive corrosive environments. In this program the bearing material will be modified to be "slippery", more durable, resi ...

During the Phase 1 effort Streamline Automation demonstrated that the use of a bushing assembly, when paired with the appropriate flexible shaft coupling, could significantly reduce the loads on the shaft of Angular Displacement Transducers (ADTs). These ADTs are currently used as position indicators for quarter turn valves in the ASTF at AEDC. The ADTs are subjected to high vibrational loads du ...

Significant recent research has shown that breath biomarkers are excellent indicators of oxidative stress caused by conditions ranging from radiation exposure to COPD. Current techniques for collection, concentration, and analysis of exhaled breath do not support real-time analysis, or require complex and bulky equipment. Streamline Automation, LLC will develop a portable Breath BioDetector in p ...

The overall objective of this effort is to design, develop and demonstrate an integrated “Virtual Numerical Laboratory” for evaluation of biological agent defeat strategies. The simulation framework will integrate a novel, stochastic description of agent-neutralizer interactions/distribution with an incompressible CFD code with advanced turbulence, moving body and free surface models. In Phas ...

Phase I research successfully: 1) demonstrated a prototype fiber-optic coupled laser initiator, 2) analytically and experimentally characterized a single element GOx/CH4 laser ignition process and 3) assessed commercial grade optics/windows, including structural/thermal evaluation of an in-chamber window installation assembly. Phase II will focus on replacing existing squib ignition technology cul ...

Fuel injectors play a vital role in the performance of high performance gas turbine combustion systems. However, current combustion CFD codes cannot accurately predict spray/atomization and turbulent-combustion processes. In this SBIR project, CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC) proposes to develop and validate a CFD fuel injector design tool that will accurately predict spray-combustion in gas turbi ...
