Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) has designed a Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Tool (CyBDAT) to quantify the probabilities associated with Computer Network Attack (CNA), Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) and Electronic Attack (EA) and allow for the direct comparison of cyber-attacks and kinetic attacks in mission planning. In Phase I VCS completed the high level design of CyBDAT, completed the ...

Voice phishing ("vishing") is an increasingly serious threat that cost victims over $46 billion in 2016. Attackers pose as trusted callers using impersonation, voice mimicry, speech synthesis, voice conversion, Caller ID spoofing, and other techniques. Once victims trust the caller, the perpetrator can engage in fraudulent and criminal activities leading to financial losses and security breaches. ...

This proposal addresses the need to further develop a robust and validated soundscape modeling tool for accurate predictions of biological, geophysical, and anthropogenic activity in CONUS and OCONUS environments. The Phase II development of the geospatial and acoustic training databases will focus on strengthening the geospatial diversity of the data by employing purposeful data collection techni ...

AURA Technologies proposes to continue the development of key components of the next generation tactical power grid. Our innovations allow for the grid to provide far more than reliable, stable power.

To satisfy unmet military needs for multimode day/night digital image sensors, Voxtel is developing a high-dynamic-range visible-sensitive and near-infrared-sensitive single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) digital imager with efficient photon detection, hi...

Phase I of Ingenia’s Computer Network Defense (CND) Trainer SBIR project successfully accomplished all objectives and established the foundation for a functional prototype to be developed and demonstrated in Phase II. An enhanced design for the Network Effects Emulation System was produced that is capable of the safe and secure configuration, delivery, and emulation of realistic cyber effects th ...

The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...

Voxtel proposes to develop, characterize, and demonstrate a coherent-ladar optimized readout integrated circuit (ROIC) consisting of 40-micron pixel elements, including circuits designed for snapshot-integration operation as short as 250 ns, formatted in a 32 x 32 array capable of readout speeds of 1 M frames per second. In Phase I, the coherent ladar ROIC architecture was developed and specificat ...

Insider threat poses one of the most problematic cyber challenges facing the warfighter today. This threat to Air Force assets is particularly insidiousas trusted individuals have easy access to sensitive and classified information. Galois, Inc. has developed a multi-layered attack inference engine called ADIDRUS, originally designed to help UAVs fight through cyber attacks. ADIDRUS continuously m ...

In phase II work, we will collaborate with Prof. Dennis W. Prather in UD and continue to develop broadband, low VÏ€, high linearity, thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) modulators that are fully compatible with silicon photonic integrated circuits (PIC) foundry processes. We will demonstrate a low VÏ€, broadband, small footprint LNOI modulator with hybrid Si/LN or SiN/LN waveguide ...
