Traditional enterprise cyber-security methods are inadequate to address the increasing number of threats, particularly within larger and higher-performance networks. Several government and third party organizations report consistent failures within corporate and federal, state, and local government networks. A key point of failure in securing these networks is the centralized security architectu ...

Sponsored by NAVAIR, Accudyne Systems completed a Phase 1 SBIR program, developing an equipment and process concept for cost-effective fabrication of composite rotary wing main rotor blade spars. The CH-53K spar was the study focus. The recommended work cell concept combines automated tape placement, woven fabric placement, and pick and place of 45° parallelograms to layup plies, then debulk and ...

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of applying an advanced, multifunctional coating system to aircraft window materials to increase their resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and to improve eye protection from low-power laser exposure. The project will study the control of transmission at selected laser hazard wavelengths and the reduction of solar effects fr ...

Web searching has become a ubiquitous and indispensable activity for a wide spectrum of human endeavors. The success of Google and its competitors depends on extensive software and network infrastructures and costly hardware. Federated search engines, such as Science.gov, WorldWideScience.org and ScienceEducation.gov also run on powerful, albeit much smaller, server clusters that connect to divers ...

The rotorcraft aerodynamic interaction is a complicated problem and remains an extremely challenging aspect of rotorcraft analysis. This STTR is dedicated to developing a solution for the complicated rotorcraft aerodynamic interaction problem. The Phase I research coupled a state-of-the-art vortex particle method (VPM) with an unstructured Navier-Stokes CFD body surface solver and prototyped a hyb ...

Aechelon Technology Night Mission System is the result of the Phase I and II efforts of the SBIR N014-156, “New Modeling and Simulation Technology for Night Vision Goggle Mission Rehearsal”. The system provides a computer simulation based replacement for the NVG terrain board, and is designed to be installed and operated in NiteLabs around the World. Aechelon Technology will provide two pre-pr ...

In phase I, we have proven the feasibility of using the microwave cavity perturbation technique to detect and quantify DoS in marine aluminum alloys. We implemented an alpha version sensor prototype, characterized and validated its performance using ASTM G67 method. We also identified methods to further enhance the sensor sensitivity, so that DoS in the low (a few mg/cm2) to moderate range can be ...

During Phase I of this SBIR effort, Anacapa Sciences, Inc. invented a new technology for analyzing and optimizing the design of critical aspects of the User Interfaces (UIs) for real-time systems that have high urgency for errorless operator performance. The technology is based on machine-learning algorithms currently used in commercial data mining applications. We discovered that this class of al ...

The Forward Observer Laser Designator Unmanned Aerial System (FOLD-UAS) concept has been developed as the airborne component of the Precision Urban Mortar Attack (PUMA) program. The PUMA program has targeted the tier II STUAS as the unmanned aerial vehicle of choice for this program. A successful Phase II FOLD-UAS demonstration provides a significant risk reduction of the airborne ISR & T portion ...

The Navy has invested considerable resources in research and development of state-of-the-art characterizations of the ocean response to ambient and perturbed surface and subsurface structures and related techniques to discriminate natural and anthropogenic, motion-induced perturbations. This investment has included exploration of different sensing modalities as well as development of processing al ...
