3 Sigma Research and Professor Sushil Jajodia propose an innovative technology that protects against "information leaks" by insiders, called Document Theft Reactive Attack Protection. DocTRAP: 1) protects against insider theft of sensitive electronic documents, 2) detects malicious insider activity, and 3) reacts to keep the sensitive information from leaving the protected boundary of the interna ...

Advanced Technologies Group, Inc. proposes a Solid-state, Lightweight, Active-balance-system, Powered-by-light, (SLAP). The SLAP balancer will reduce or eliminate drive shaft vibrations caused by rotational dynamics of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) lift fan drive shaft. Reduced shaft vibration will prevent drive shaft maintenance and improve support bearing life while reducing lift fan clutch w ...

Under this program, an evaluation will be performed to select the optimum electric power generation package to meet electrical output requirements within the confines of the propulsion system architecture - based on the results of the Phase I SBIR. Additionally, system configuration and integration issues will be addressed in an effort to quantify the following: · Document the prime power gener ...

THIS RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE PERFORMANCE MEAUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED FOR AN ON-BOARD AIRCRAFT "EMBEDDED TRAINING" CAPABILITY APPLICABLE TO BOTH TRAINING AND MUNITION CONCEPT EVALUATION. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-BOARD SIMULATION OF THE MUNITIONS TO ACCOMPLISH SIMULATED LAUNCH, FLYOUT AND TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT WILL BE DETERMINED. AVAILABILITY OF REAL-WORLD INPUT ...

The objective of this proposal is to mature the photosensitive liquid crystal (LC) material and device technologies the feasibility of which was demonstrated in the Phase 1 of the project. Prototypes of basic optical components that can be assembled to perform variety of photonics tasks controlled by low-power light beams, particularly, from LED sources will be demonstrated. Different realizations ...

Air-Borne Laser tests involving the shooting down of ballistic missiles are currently scheduled to occur at the end of 2004 or early 2005. If tests are successful, an immediate demand for a deployable system capable of producing chemicals necessary for operation will arise. Case Engineering proposes to complete detailed engineering, construct and demonstrate critical modules for the air-transpor ...

AN/PSC-2 DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TERMINAL (DCT) REQUIRES A POWER CONVERTER THAT CONVERTS 115 VAC TO 8 VDC FOR ABOARD SHIP USAGE. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONDITION ON THE SHIP, COMBINING WITH THE POSSIBLE SALTY ATMOSPHERE CAN GREATLY LOWER THE RELIABILITY OF ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICE BECAUSE OF THEIR CORROSIVE ACTION ON THEM. THE PROPOSED CONVERTER IS BELIEVED TO SURVIVE THE HARSH ATMOSPHERE CO ...

A DEVICE IS HEREIN PROPOSED WHICH CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO A PROJECTILE, SUCH AS A RAIL GUN PROJECTILE, TO CONTROL ATTITUDE. THE DEVICE, A MODIFIED NUTATION DAMPER, HAS ESSENTIALLY ONLY ONE MOVING PART AND SO CAN BE MADE, TO EXHIBIT EXTREME STRENGTH. BY CONTROLLING THE PROJECTILE'S ATTITUDE DURING FLIGHT, A STRAP DOWN SEEKER CAN BE MADE TO MECHANICALLY SCAN FOR TARGET ACQUISITION. THE ATTITUDE CON ...

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO FORMING A NULL IN THE SECONDARY PATTERN OF A REFLECTOR ANTENNA IS DEVELOPED BY THIS PROJECT. AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLABLE REFLECTIVE SURFACE BEING DEVELOPED ON A NASA SBIR IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE WORK. THIS PROJECT EXTENDS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SURFACE SO THAT IT IS USEFUL AS A NULL FORMER. THE RESULT IS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED COST OF NULL STEERING ANTENNAS. THE DE ...

Threat simulation laboratories, such Wright Patterson's Integrated Demonstration and Applications Laboratory require realistic simulations of aircraft navigation systems to distribute the time critical platform information to various RF based geolocation position development systems (ATAR, AT3). The current IDAL INS platform simulations model the interaction between the aircraft INS / GPS to pr ...
