We propose to develop a line of mobile security products that provide transparent protection for wireless and wired communication. The products can be deployed either as a wireless or cellular access point (WAP) or inserted within the wired Gigabit Ethernet path to a computer or subnet. Our approach leverages lessons learned from DoD PL5 high-assurance guards (HAGs) with pre-configured public-key ...

The benefits of greater power and efficiency are offered by using turbochargers and superchargers for small UAS propulsion systems which including rotary, piston, and other developing engines. Present day UASs suffer performance losses upon takeoff and at altitude. Therefore, the need for improved, light weight turbo and superchargers which eliminate the use of oil lubrication for the bearing sy ...

Brayton Energy is a developer of turbomachinery systems, specializing in gas turbines, turbojets, turbochargers, and turbo-compounding equipment. In the proposed program, Brayton will design and bench-test the critical elements of novel single-shaft turbocharger with integral motor/alternator capability, including its air bearing system. The proposed variant on turbo-compounding enables motor-as ...

State-of-the-art software protection and anti-tamper systems move critical software and data out-of-band to the adversary, by using a hypervisor or on secure hardware. Unfortunately, the systems running this software are built using untrusted commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts. Supply chain threats to critical components, such as hardware or firmware Trojans, have invalidated the assumption tha ...

"This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will identify corrosion with a smart coating. A smart coating is one that will predict its' own faiure and will warn of coating degradation prior to significant deterioration of the structure.Benchmarks will be established for organic (PDA)/inorganic(silica) composite films that are thermal and mechanically stable and exhibit a chromatic re ...

"Motion sickness has long been a problem during the deployment of military forces. The increased speed and agility of today's transports makes this problem even more acute. For the special forces who undertake rapid insertions using a variety of vehiclesin all weather, the incidence of motion sickness can compromise the mission and endanger lives. Despite intensive research, there are still no ...

Future High Level Architecture (HLA) simulations will incorporate non-visual stimuli. One such stimulus will be force feedback that is provided using haptic displays. Force feedback will be instrumental in o btaining high fidelity information exchange between the simulation and the user. However, one significant problem with providing force feedback between a simulation and a user is that time ...

Sabulon, Inc. has developed novel and rapid gas phase nitridation methods which have considerable potential for manufacturing rocket nozzle components from structurally robust and thermally stable silicon-based CMC materials in more cost-effective and rapid fashion than currently available chemical capor infiltration or polymer impregnation and pyrollysis processing techniques. This proposal advo ...
