Not Available NChris Software Solutions proposes to build a robust object oriented system that fulfills all the requirements and is written in Java. The objective is to build this system without any platform restrictions or any other type of limitations. The system architecture will guarantee maintainability, flexibility, and most of all scalability. The objects that will comprise this system wil ...

Herein, PSI proposes to leverage extensive development in the area of optically sampled passive millimeter-wave imaging to develop dual mode active/passive imagers that provide both the intuitive, real-time imagery of a passive imager and the ranging capabilities of an active sensor. To accomplish this task, an optically sampled millimeter-wave receive array is sampled via optical pulsed laser gat ...

Degraded visual environment (DVE) presents a challenge for helicopter pilotage, particularly in close proximity to potential hazards such as vegetation, poles, wires, buildings, vehicles, personnel, equipment, nearby terrain, other aircraft, or ship superstructures. To safely negotiate these hazards, the aircrew must maintain a continuous awareness of the environment that can include both static a ...

A new class of high-performance, low-SWaP computational devices is emerging based on increasingly diverse architectures. This diversity is improving performance, but comes at the cost of increased programming complexity. Each architecture requires variances in programming environment and model, typically distinguished by the type of parallelism supported by the hardware, limiting software portabil ...

We propose creating a new company to deliver accelerated graph-based analytics for modern manycore systems. The work combines advanced multithreading and work-moving typical of HPC but targeted at cloud environments with insight into the structure of the graph to improve spatial locality and an attribute-first query system to dramatically reduce the work required to solve practical graph problems ...

Graph analytics is a key component in identifying emerging trends and threats in many real-world applications. Large-scale graph analytics frameworks provide a convenient and highly scalable platform for developing algorithms to analyze large datasets. Although conceptually scalable, these techniques exhibit poor performance on modern computational hardware. Another model of graph computation has ...

We propose to identify the algorithms, architectures and performance evaluation criteria for real-time, high-resolution, long-range imaging through atmospheric turbulence. The most promising algorithms will be implemented on a hardware acceleration platform. The end-goal for phase 1 is to develop a complete system design ready to be implemented in hardware for real-time video processing of 2Kx2K v ...

This proposal is for research into various configurations to reduce or eliminate the drag and resulting lateral loading that result from the shotgun connector and evaluate the potential overall weapon system improvement by simulating the trajectory of the improved system. Three configurations will be studied by computational fluid dynamics to estimate aerodynamic properties and utilized to simulat ...

The Army often operates in environments with limited visibility, due to smoke, dust, fog, or other visual obscurants, resulting in loss of situational awareness. In some circumstances, the Army may create such environments to provide a tactical advantage over adversaries. In these situations it is necessary to supplement visual data with reliable sensors that can penetrate obscurants. Furthermore, ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...
