Accrete proposes developing a social media exploitation platform to achieve a revolutionary information advantage for the command. It will: map social media networks, measure engagement and quantify influence, track narratives and trace mis-/disinformation to its source. The adapted version will automatically translate content across data sources from 100+ languages to eliminate language barriers ...

The modern information environment (IE) is growing more complex and dynamic. Information technology advances enable adversaries to access and influence audiences globally with increasingly sophisticated tools and at an unprecedented scale. To understand the threat landscape and to respond effectively, there is a need to automatically detect, track, and differentiate the evolution of information na ...

Octant’s social media network mapping and content modeling approaches will be leveraged to create high-resolution models of information environments spanning key neighboring countries, issues, and state media sources likely to be targeted by information and influence operations. These models will enable the ability to rapidly understand the narratives being spread through the network and how the ...

Charles River Analytics and PatchPlus Consulting are pleased to propose Cerulean FNX, a modular software platform that extends Charles River’s Cerulean transaction analysis framework to the financial intelligence domain. Cerulean FNX is centered around a modular and pluggable network analytics engine containing state/of/the/art financial graph and time series analytics, a modular coordinated vis ...

Scientific Systems Company Inc. (SSCI) is proposing to integrate our TRL-7 commercial software product, SSCI’s ImageNavTM system with the capabilities of the Elbit Systems of America (ESA) Multimode Seeker Concept along with additional sensor and algorithms improvements to provide an enhanced navigation capability in GPS-contested environments. The Phase I effort will include a feasibility study ...

Imperia Batteries proposes to develop an integrated separator-electrode-electrolyte composite architecture incorporating conductive electrolyte components in a polymer-ceramic composite separator that is directly applied to electrodes, simultaneously improving energy density and safety. This technology will improve safety by reducing the possibility for a cell to short-circuit via electrode misali ...

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) present a growing threat in the US defense arena as both low-cost intelligence gathering and payload delivery capabilities for adversaries, posing security risks to both military and civilian assets. Detecting, tracking, and identifying UAS threats has been accomplished with conventional imaging and radar techniques, but each technology has limitations. Passive imagi ...

There is a critical need to develop a non-toxic, regenerative carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber material with enhanced scrubbing capacities and safety for rebreather applications. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) scrubber material for rebreather is soda lime. Despite its overall robustness, soda-lime is highly toxic, has low CO2 capacity, and is non-regenerative. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will de ...

Precision-guided munitions have demonstrated dramatic effects with minimal collateral damage. New technology developed specifically to deny them accurate guidance information is now feasible, even for non-traditional adversaries. Further, digital communications are flooding the air with signals that interfere with communications many guidance methods rely on. Swarms of small, covert small Uncrewed ...

The intent of this project is to complete a feasibility study to identify an end-to-end system that can unify data from different sources and generate actionable information for decision making, including geospacial visualization. The objective is to identify the relationships between various types and formats of data and to make correlations accross different domains and platforms.
