The current problem of handling thousands of workflows and hundreds of tasks associated with these workflows within the current ALP architecture is enormous. In this effort we propose efficient and scalable data structure and algorithms that can order the workflows and associated tasks to be processed by the Assessor. In addition, we provide the capability to correlate workflows with actual logi ...

Over the past several years the Synthetic Environment Database Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) project has been developed to address the issues of simulation data interchange between heterogeneous applications in a non-ambiguous, lossless fashion. As one of the SEDRIS Associate Members, Reality by Design (RBD) has helped both to define and implement the SEDRIS standard. By ...

In this Phase II effort, PEMDAS Technologies and Innovations (PEMDAS), in collaboration with subcontractor Westover Studios, proposes to develop a functional prototype of the Weather “Action Chain” Enabler (ACE) application using the technologies identified, knowledge gained, and preliminary design conceived during the Phase I effort. As designed, the Weather ACE application will be a non-intr ...

Unmanned systems play a critical role in military operations across a wide range of missions. The DoD’s Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap identifies leader-follower tactics, swarming capabilities, sensor advancements, collision avoidance, and GPS-denied solutions as key technologies to support autonomy. Advances in these areas are needed to support coordinated multi-aircraft maneuvers and swar ...

The S‐100 specification is a new geospatial standard for hydrographic data, that is presently under development by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Once the S‐100 based products and services are fully developed by the IHO, current datasets will be scheduled for obsolescence, and the Hydrographic Offices (HOs) will no longer produce them. Companies offering e‐navigation solu ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: WR’s approach involves design of a modular, S-129 compliant Under Keel Clearance - Risk Management System (UKC-RMS). This will allow for the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), ECS, PPUs, and other situational awareness applications to have S-129 Exchange Sets developed for a planned route.In WR’s design, a system such as an ECDIS generates an S40X Rout ...

The technical objective of this effort is to design and build a set of Unattended Radiation Detection Systems to satisfy multiple end-users and environments. From the detector landscape survey and testing results achieved in Phase I, there are three suitable node configurations being proposed for further development. Each node spiral will consist of end-user interviews and operational testing to d ...

NanoSonic has designed and physically produced a lightweight (< 0.6 lb/ft2), leak-tight (holds liquid N2), composite cryotank that retains its mechanical toughness upon simulated Low Earth Orbit (LEO) irradiation. NanoSonic's "Chill Pill" capsule and advanced composite filament wound design is predicted to meet the weight requirements of < 175 lb for a 350 ft3 volume cryotank and cut the cost thre ...

Vacuum Electronic Devices (VEDs) represent the most compact and efficient means of generating high power RF available today. Unfortunately, the legacy electronics required to operate these VEDs remain large, heavy, and often unreliable. The transition to solid-state, high voltage electronics, spearheaded by Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) over the last 20 years, has improved VED transmitter r ...

Development of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers for 1550nm communication applications has been hindered by the lack of high quality Bragg mirrors. Efforts for growing high quality InGaAsP/InP, SbGaAsAI/InGaAsP as well as wafer-bonding with GaAs/AIOx mirrors are on-going but significant breakthroughs in material quality and yield are needed before devices are produced. In addressing this ch ...
