Research, development, and implementation of Single Surface High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) canopies offer the Marines Corps an opportunity to design and develop an optimized parachute that reduces manufacturing and overall canopy complexities, results in a significantly lighter weight parachute, and reduces packing volume due to reduced material requirements (based on similar sized traditional p ...

Modern DoD applications are benefiting from the proliferation of EO/IR sensor technology. As imagers become cheaper and smaller, they are being more widely deployed for a variety of scenarios. This trend is exemplified by the Navys Future Targeting System (FTS), which will provide laser designation, laser spot imaging, and some target location functions in a single 5.5-pound unit, replacing discre ...

Breakthroughs in hardware (thermal imagers, north finding/keeping, laser technology, etc.) have allowed the Marine Corps to combine the functions of a target locator, target designator and laser spot tracker in a single package: Future Targeting System (FTS). Intelligent use of this hardware and the data it provides can further reduce the size and weight of the system while improving performance. ...

To meet the Marine Corps' need for data integrity, resilience, confidentiality, and multi-level security on hand-held devices, portable computers, and tactical servers, Grier Forensics proposes development and demonstration of Trapeze. Trapeze achieves high protection multi-level security by booting into one of a number of distinct, isolated Security Environments. Security Environments are selecte ...

RwM Resilient takes Redwall Technologies commercially-available multi-level mobile security solution, Redwall Mobile (RwM), to a new level by layering resilience into its operation. RwM represents the best in class protection for operating systems like Android and provides our patent pending method of combining cryptographic and temporal separation, which may be the only certain way to securely se ...

High performance (directional) phased array antennas increase achievable data rates and communication ranges, enable secure links, and in an Electronic Warfare (EW) setting, increase power on target, and reduce fratricide. However, todays monolithic arrays are too heavy, expensive, and power hungry. The ability to form an ad-hoc phased array, from randomly distributed single antennas would be a hu ...

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. (TA&T) and their collaborators propose a 3D printed, multilayer magnetic shielding disk to protect sensitive electronics in electromagnetic railgun hypervelocity projectiles. Topology optimization coupled with multiphysics finite element analysis modeling will be employed to optimize the thickness, arrangement, and internal geometry of various metallic and ce ...

Identifying and resolving organizational inefficiencies often requires hiring external consultants. The capabilities of collaborative crowdsourcing, however, provide an opportunity for organizations to leverage their own employees to achieve this task. We propose the development of GECKOS (Generating Employee Crowdsourced Knowledge for Organizational Solutions), a tool that integrates a wide range ...

The overall objective of the Phase I effort is to design and develop a software-based MFA solution mobile device based on Bitcoin transaction blockchain technology and define a draft set of standards by which MFA solutions will be evaluated and accredited by Navy Approving Official.

The United States Navy has identified a need for a tool to assist the training of Landing SignalOfficers (LSOs) that provides visualization and analysis of data from embarked carrier landings.BGI, LLC (BGI) has proposed a solution for training LSOs by leveraging the existing CarrierVisualization After-Action Review (AAR) product to create a Landing Signal Officer-DataAnalysis Toolkit (LSO-DAT) tha ...
