This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

In the defense industry today, high level SysML system models are used by engineers beginning early in the design process to functionally decompose the system being designed and to flow down requirements to sub-systems and components. Despite their usefulness, these system models are by and large descriptive models and not analytical (executable) models. In contrast, domain level engineers (struct ...

This research will investigate a practical technique for detecting the existence of computer viruses and other software corruptions in real-time. As one goal of the SBIR-subtopic is audit-analysis tools that are amenable to real-time systems, our innovation will allow DARPA to detect worrisome behavior and apply appropriate roll-back mechanisms before problems propagate to an unacceptable level. ...

The primary objective of this effort is to develop tractable techniques to automatically extract terrain and geologic features from interferometric SAR (IFSAR) imagery and Digital Terrain Elevation (DTE) data produced from IFSAR phase data. A secondary objective is to develop performance prediction techniques for the extraction process. Today terrain information extraction from aerial imagery rema ...

SED Technology LLC proposes a feasibility study to determine if the proposed theory that IR can potentially answer the requirement of providing a 3-factor authentication capability. The proposed capability will allow continuous identification and can interact with computers on a periodic or on request basis to validate the identity of the soldier in MOPP 4 with no interference with mission accompl ...

The project objective is to develop a component of the DSA architecture that allows a DSA-enabled radio platform to coexist not only with legacy primary users but also with other DSA-enabled and other cognitive radio platforms operating as co-secondary users, and with jamming/spoofing platforms present in the area. We also examine the impacts of integrating real-time, policy-based approaches to sp ...

SB103-008 has the objective to develop a high speed, semi-autonomous, naval surface munition designed to travel in water at speeds in excess of 100 knots to acoustically track and engage swarms of enemy boats up to 3 miles from the munition launch point. The munition is designed to fit within the footprint of an"A-size"sonobuoy. The proposed CONOPS results in multiple operating regimes: Sub- ...

Underwater, high-speed vehicles present several design challenges. Along with the many cavity/hydrodynamic issues are included: propulsion, control, energy density, and navigation. In addition to an underwater high-speed vehicle design, this proposal describes the development of an air phase high-speed munition concept (HSM) that employs a single watery entry event. For relative shallow depth a ...
