THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO INVESTIGATE NEW FAULT TOLERANT ALGORITHMS AND MODELING ENVIRONMENTS FOR USE IN RELIABILITY DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF MODEL MULTIPROCESSOR NETWORKS SUCH AS FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS AND HIGH-RELIABILITY COMPUTER SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR PLANT SAFETY SYSTEMS AND OTHER MISSION-CRITICAL WEAPON PLATFORM COMPUTERS. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON FAULT TOLERANCE RELATED TECHNIQUES WHIC ...

PROPOSED IS AN OPTICAL CORRELATOR OR CONVOLVER CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING RASTER SCANNED IMAGERY AT VIDEO RATES, AND CORRELATING WITH A LARGE LIBRARY OF REFERENCE IMAGES.

The objective of this proposal is to develop a hybrid conductive veil technology for use in UCASS or FA/xx and also as a replacement or repair of the existing conductive metallic ground planes on legacy platforms. The hybrid veil system can be made into a prepreg and bonded directly to the composite airframe. As a composite system, it is tougher and stronger than the current ground plane system, l ...

This rapidly growing company has developed a model driven open architecture system that implements weapons on unmanned air systems. It consists of the unmanned system control and air vehicle elements and is highly consistent with the emerging Department of Defense mandates for unmanned air systems open architectures and associated data link and weapon interface standards. Demonstrated in the lab w ...

Machinery Control System (MCS) cabling faults can be difficult to identify and locate since as many as 3,000 to 5,000 I/O points are used and multiple junctions exist in each cable. A single MCS fault can require as many as four maintainers and a full day of troubleshooting to isolate and resolve, and MCS capability can be substantially reduced during this process. Creare is developing a low-cost ...

Safe and efficient ionization and filtration technology compatible to biodefense applications is of paramount importance. Current ionization methods are energy-intensive, costly, prone to ozone generation, or inefficient, and consequently ill-suited for building protection applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose to develop and demonstrate a novel bioaerosol ionization and collectio ...

Protein manufacturing is of paramount importance to chemical and biological defense applications. Existing protein purification methods primarily rely on synthetic-resin based chromatography, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive, and consequently, ill-suited for developing rapid countermeasures to chemical and biological threats. To overcome these limitations, the overall goal of th ...

This Proposal identifies the tasks to be performed by C3I for the partial completion of the Aviation Lighting System Control Panel Set (ALS-CPS) technology developments of SBIR Topic N04-081. The Advanced Lighting System Control Panel Set (ALS-CPS) components include a 12 Control Panel (12 CP), Network Switch (NS), Modular Protocol Controller (MPC), Variable Transformer Power Control Module (VTPCM ...

On todays battlefields, vehicles are at risk of encountering improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fortunately, not all of these result in complete vehicle loss. Following events at both ends of the severity spectrum, Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR) and event reconstruction efforts lack the fidelity that predictive simulations have begun to offer. Sending a vehicle back to the depot for ...

Legacy copper-based power distribution and degaussing cables will not be able to meet the future requirements of Navy ships and submarines. While cable systems employing high-temperature superconductors (HTS) have the potential to meet this need, further development work is required to improve the performance and increase the technology readiness level of key system components. The proposed work f ...
