We propose to develop an innovative concept of the high speed dynamic IRSP that combines components and devices from proven suppliers with novel system-level research topics from CDS and University of Delaware. Having previously built and delivered working LED IRSPs to users gives CDS a unique advantage. In line with system theme of the solicitation, our phase 1 research topics are focused on syst ...

Impact Technologies, in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Boeing Company, is proposing to complete the development, testing and evaluation of a novel biologically-inspired Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) conceptualized in Phase I and capable of agile and high endurance flight operations in dense and cluttered urban environments. Phase I a ...

In the ACADIANA effort we will address the inability of modern programming language, operating system, and architectural abstractions to provide a baseline level of adequate confidentiality protections.  Until now, developers and users of software have largely relied on their programming language and operating system to ensure that confidential data isn’t leaked out of a process’ memory space ...

Many large-scale numerical simulations can be broken down into common mathematical routines. While the applications may differ, they often need to perform standard functions such as system solves, Fourier transforms, or eigenvalue calculations. Consequently, producing fast, efficient implementations of these methods will benefit a broad range of Air Force applications. Graphics Processing Units (G ...

ABSTRACT: High-performance computing (HPC) programmers and domain experts, such as those in the Air Force's research divisions, develop solvers for a wide variety of application areas such as modeling next generation aircraft and weapons designs and advanced image processing analysis. When developing software for HPC systems, the programmer should not spend the majority of their time optimiz ...

UAVS (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle System) integration with naval vessels is currently realized in limited form. This is largely due to the fact that the operational envelopes of these vehicles are based solely on at-sea flight testing. In addition to the complexities involved with at-sea flight testing, the unsteady nature of ship-airwakes and the use of automated UAV control software necessitates ...

Impact Technologies and Georgia Institute of Technology, with the support of L-3 Communications, propose development of a prototype software tool that promises to significantly reduce the maintenance burden associated with EFV suspension system setup & calibration required for different mission mixes and/or in the event of HSU replacement. While the current procedure requires vehicle track remova ...

Impact Technologies, with its partners; Georgia Institute of Technology and General Dynamics Amphibious Systems (GDAMS), propose to develop a Hydro-pneumatic Suspension Unit (HSU) Maintenance Support tool in support of initial production deployment of the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV). Building upon demonstrated Phase I STTR program accomplishments, the project team intends to both signifi ...

The current generation of high-frequency active 3-D acoustic imaging systems presents a challenge to the covert use of Underwater Vehicles (UVs) by Special Forces teams. An acoustic intercept capability is needed to detect active signals before the UV is detected, so that it can vector away from the source. The team of Advanced Acoustic Concepts and Montana State University propose to design and p ...
