Siege proposes to develop the ADHoC (Adversarial Machine Learning for the Hardening of Cyber Defenses) software capability which combines a novel implementation of adversarial machine learning with a high-fidelity cyber simulation and evaluation environment to harden DML. The proposed solution provides a process for pairing cyber-attacks with AML algorithms in order to defeat DML systems. Through ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop a health and motion monitoring sensor and analysis system to support the return of military personnel with prosthetic devices to active duty. DoD is allowing increasing numbers of Soldiers with prosthetics to return to active duty if they are performance capable, minimizing the loss of their valuable core expertise to the services. There are significant cha ...

AURA Technologies proposes to continue the development of key components of the next generation tactical power grid. Our innovations allow for the grid to provide far more than reliable, stable power.

Modern military computer applications are increasingly using the Java computer language. While Java provides a versatile cross-platform computing environment with strong security and ease-of-use (java.net.Socket), this support is limited to traditional TCP/IP socket-style communications, and lacks the ability for the programmer to directly access lower levels of the network protocol stack, such a ...

This Phase I SBIR research develops a prototype active earplug and hybrid feedforward-feedback active noise control (ANR) algorithm to provide at least 40 dB noise reduction over all frequencies when used in conjunction with a Gentex HGU-56 helmet. Ear insert hardware will be fabricated from an existing communication earplug (CEP), and an existing hybrid ANR algorithm, used in prior ANR research ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

Electrical power system upgrades for next generation ground combat vehicles require technology advances such as higher operating temperature, greater power density, and increased functionality. Silicon Carbide (SiC) based power electronic devices offer advantages over silicon devices, especially for high voltage buses, and Creare is currently developing a SiC based DC DC converter that operates at ...

A pulsed high voltage DC power supply will be used drive an atmospheric pressure plasma reactor with the goal of developing a conceptual design for the purpose of depositing extended solids. The reactor falls within the category of a dielectric barrier discharge where a dielectric barrier covers at least one of the two parallel plate electrodes. It is a non-equilibrium reactor where electron tempe ...

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells convert hydrogen fuel directly to electric power and offer a lightweight and efficient power source for individual soldiers. However, technology for storing the hydrogen fuel is still too heavy to meet the Army's mission requirements. We propose to develop a very lightweight hydrogen generator based on borazane (H3NBH3). Our innovation is a unique p ...

PERFECT VIEW INC. AND THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DR. A. J. ATTAR, HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED A PATENT ON A METHOD TO REMOVE MINERAL WATER FROM COAL BY FIRST TURNING ITS SURFACE HYDROPHOBIC (U.S. PATENT 4,597,769, ISSUED JULY 1ST, 1986). THE TREATMENT INVOLVES A VERY LOW-COST CHEMICAL REACTION WHICH CONVERTS THE HYDROXLIC AND CARBOXYLIC SURFACE FUNCTIONALITIES TO ETHERS AND ESTERS. THIS TREATMENT REDU ...
