Conducting operations and defending the nations critical networks in cyberspace requires processing and analyzing massive quantities of graph data in near-real time.New approaches for high performance graph analytics and query are needed for cyber defense and operations at massive data scales. Scaling graphs is a hard problem.Due to non-locality, CPU-based solutions are limited bymain memory bandw ...

This project will design and demonstrate an integrated all optical vertical array utilizing unique patented Extrinsic Faber-Perot Interferometer (EFPI) based vector sensors.These sensors have already been proven to TRL Level 3 under IR&D and will be tuned and modified for the specific application needs of the Navy sponsor.Based on the relative maturity of the core sensors, the large majority of th ...

The energy harvesting device developed during the Phase I award will be optimized and tested in vivo during the Phase II award. Testing will include in vivo energy harvesting device characterization.

When enemies gain human and financial resources, U.S. warfighters and peacekeepers become exposed to greatly increased danger when performing the Stability And Reconstruction Operations (SARO) that aim to reduce or prevent future attacks.A major source of income and human power is the existence of worldwide human trafficking networks. We have conceptualized an automated process for targeting-opera ...

Trexs Night Vision Head Worn Display system (NV-HWD) will provide digital, multi-spectral, robust all-condition viewing capability for ground soldiers without harming natural see-through vision.The proposed system is a compact, lightweight, heads-up, broad-band night vision display system with dual function as a daytime display.Fused imagery from low-light CMOS and LWIR sensors is displayed via th ...

IST Research will research and design a feasible solution to data collection and analysis for numerous types of data, for a wide variety of purposes through Active and Passive monitoring.The ability to funnel multiple sources of datafrom human responses, to social media feeds, to publicly available data on the open, deep, and dark weband then quickly analyze and visualize results in one platform i ...

Chronically implanted neural electrodes are used to treat various neurological and neuropsychological disorders and for brain-machine interfaces used to control advanced prosthetics. Powering these systems with batteries is risky due to loss of power and energy over time, necessitating additional surgery, creating a lapse in treatment and additional risks from potential exposure to toxic material. ...

Power supply and voltage regulation circuits are critical components in electronic systems for military and commercial applications. Maxentric is proposing a solution for switched power supplies based on a high efficiency fully integrated approach, which can significantly reduce size and cost on a wide range of electronic systems. The solution will: (1) optimize the control circuitry and the gate ...

Under this effort, we propose to build COASTeR, Course of Action analysis by STR. COASTeR will build on our Phase I Robust Coordination effort, which demonstrated that courses of action (COAs) that include explicit pre-planning for contingencies can be effectively employed to proactively coordinate distributed battle management by mixed manned/unmanned teams in highly uncertain environments, impro ...

During recent conflicts, the U.S. has benefited from complete air dominance. Such dominance has allowed us to control or even eliminate many, if not most, sources of uncertainty affecting air missions. The command and control systems that have emerged from these conditions were designed to optimize their performance. However, as shown in [9], such an approach yields high performing but brittle sys ...
