DOCTRINe-based AIded target REcognition (DOCTRINAIRE) for the IC
SBC: COVAR, LLC Topic: NGA203005CoVar’s DOCTRINAIRE is a new approach to computer aided object annotation that is modeled after the way expert end-users leverage generic, robust background information (e.g., what wheels look like) and known doctrine (the size and shape of components on a pickup truck) to perform reliable, explainable object detection and annotation. Our approach solves the robustness problem by training a reli ...

Graphical Methods for Discovering Structure and Context in Large Datasets
SBC: MAYACHITRA, INC. Topic: NGA203005The ubiquity of image sensors for data collection creates a glut of data, which leads to bottlenecks in the processing capabilities of modern systems. In order to process this data, meticulously labeled datasets are required and that must be reviewed by humans in order to guarantee state-of-the-art performance. In this effort we endeavor to create a system that can automatically exploit salient in ...

Dynamic Parameter Selection for Community Detection Algorithms (Graph Networks)
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: NGA212002In the pattern of life problem space, data is often represented via mathematical graphs, in which a variety of algorithms may be employed to conduct semi-autonomous analysis. While successful empirical application of graph-domain algorithms on ABI problems has been achieved, most of these algorithms require a tuning parameter, which is often set heuristically in real-world scenarios. Arete has dev ...

A Multiphysics Approach to Radio Frequency Modeling of Ablators in Ionized Hypersonic Flow
SBC: ATA ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: NGA203002ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) proposes to develop and demonstrate a multiphysics framework for the radar cross-section (RCS) analysis of an ablating hypersonic vehicle in an ionized plasma flow field. ATA has developed a software toolset, known as the Multiphysics Engine, capable of modeling many of these hypersonic phenomena. It couples state-of-the-art solvers for CFD (Loci/CHEM), ablation (CHAR) ...
