Mentis Sciences Inc. (Mentis) proposes to design, develop, and fabricate a high lift to drag ratio (L/D), Dual band Radio Frequency/Infrared (RF/IR), radome assembly suitable for use as a technology demonstrator for hypersonic missile defense applications. The final deliverable will be a full scale RF radome with integrated IR transparent windows in a high L/D form factor. Material models will be ...

Triton Systems and our team proposes to continue development a novel, affordable, lightweight fin to increase high-speed interceptor maneuverability. We will demonstrate through proven analytical techniques and high-fidelity modeling that our fin offers performance benefits over current state-of-the-art systems in the high hypersonic regime. We will show that our fin can withstand the structural a ...

The intelligence community is faced with an increasingly difficult challenge: the amount of data far outstrips the number of analysts that exploit this data into actionable information. With the ever-growing number of imaging satellites in orbit the job of an analyst will change from eyes on pixels to analysis of information from imagery thanks to automated image processing like object detection a ...

Triton Systems will demonstrate an innovative method for propelling missiles out of a Vertical Launch System (VLS) without using the first stage rocket. This will enable the energy in the first stage rocket to be used exclusively for trajectory propulsion, thereby increasing its range. A successful cold-launch system must deliver a 10,000 lb. missile to a minimum height of 100 feet. Such a missile ...

Our proposal addresses the solicitation requirements: we will develop and deploy tools and methods to automatically repair vulnerabilities in code. The ACR solution will apply and extend the Phase I research and development to produce a prototype solution to the problem of automatically repairing vulnerabilities. ACR will scan and fix code in multiple languages, provide a detailed list of changes, ...

Aptima, Inc., with partners Central Washington University and nou Systems, Inc., is developing QUARTERMASTER to help DoD analysts focus on questions of interest rather than the means of answering them. QUARTERMASTER (Query and User-based Abductive Reporting Tool Enabling Responsive Multimodal Analysis of Simulated Technological Enterprise Records), is an interactive cognitive assistant meant to br ...

Narrow line width fiber lasers have great potential for high-power directed energy applications. The beams of multiple fibers can be combined using spectral or coherent methods for scaling to high power levels. To successfully achieve goals of multi-kW fiber laser system scaling, accurate methods are needed to predict the performance of individual fibers and how their performance is affected by fi ...

Technological advances in navigation and positioning, along with expanding wireless infrastructure and remote sensing technologies, have resulted in explosive growth of available trajectory data from a variety of moving objects, such as people, cars, ships, and animals. Trajectory data have numerous commercial applications, e.g., location-based services, travel forecasting, health monitoring, dise ...

Electricity is one of the most transformative resources in existence. It plays a vital role in homes, shops, factories, and transportation systems. While most of the people in the world benefit from reliable electricity without giving it a second thought, many still live without it. Even those with seemingly reliable energy can unexpectedly lose it, as the September 20, 2017 landfall of Hurricane ...

At the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the ability to serve and analyze data is crucial to the success of efforts ranging from disaster relief to strategic military support. NGA recently created the Office of Automation, Augmentation, and Artificial Intelligence (AAA) which strives to automate routine tasks to give crucial time back to employees. These automated systems must provide ...
