There are two main focus areas in this proposal. The first is to transition a number of successful DARPA projects into the Open Group Sensor (Open System Architecture) SOSA™ Consortium. The second is to develop a system that can evaluate current and future key management architectures.

The promise of personalized medicine can be realized in part via point-of-care 3D drug printing, but only if there are reliable quality measures available. Children and seniors may need custom or easy-to-swallow doses, a need now addressed only in a limited way by ad-hoc in-pharmacy compounding. Compliance-targeted enhancements such as flavor and shape choices are particularly important for childr ...

Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDCs) are a subject of great interest in the field of propulsion and power generation for their theoretical pressure gain and increased thermal efficiency and power density over conventional deflagrative combustors. This allows smaller, lighter and more efficient airbreathing and rocket propulsion systems, as well as conventional gas turbine based civil power gene ...

Secure systems rely on physical implementation of hardware and software systems, where various information leakage can be observed through various side channels and extracted with advance side channel analysis (SCA) algorithms. Recent advancement in computing, sensors, and SCA techniques have exposed new and more dangerous vulnerabilities. Hence a comprehensive SCA evaluation framework that can gr ...

We propose to prototype an open, modular, UUV Operational Digital Twin called the Remote Operational Monitoring Unit Leveraging UUV Simulation, or “ROMULUS.” An Operational Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a UUV and its environment that is based on physics-based models and machine learning that continuously integrates data from a priori sources, the mission plan (MP), onboard sensor ...

Current efforts to provide advanced maintenance capabilities can be burdened by legacy documentation and a lack of visibility into the fine-grained status of jobs in progress on the flight line. The Cognitive Observant Assistant for Coaching and Helping (COACH) addresses both of these problems concurrently with an intelligent virtual assistant that goes significantly beyond the state of the art by ...

The goal of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, commercial aviation and industrial power plants to develop gas turbines capable of reliable operation at turbine inlet temperatures up to 3100oF. Consequently, there is a driving need to extend the capability of SiC CMCs and/or related Ceramic CMCs and associated thermal—environmental barrier coatings (T-EBCs) to resist degradation in harsh mo ...

Atmospheric Rivers (AR) transport large volumes of water vapor outside the tropics and, when making landfall, produce large quantities of rain that replenish aquifers, contribute to beneficial increases in snowpack, yet can cause flooding and significant damage to property and lives. Accurate forecasts of precipitation during landfalling ARs are critical because of their large role in water supply ...

CoolCAD Electronics designs and fabricates silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET electronic devices that have been shown to operate at 500°C. In addition, CoolCAD has demonstrated that its SiC CMOS circuits work for extended periods at hundreds of degrees C without obvious degradation.  CoolCAD Electronics is proposing to build on these successes to design and fabricate complex CMOS integrated electronic ...

In order for manufacturers to unlock the promise of AI for data-driven decision making, they need visibility into large volumes of unstructured knowledge trapped in technical language like work order notes. The process of annotation and knowledge extraction from unstructured technical language data is currently a time consuming and challenging bottleneck to adopting machine learning at scale. In N ...
