Cyber Network Operations is a critical new battlefield that holds asymmetric threats to U.S. military, technological, and economic dominance. 21CT’s Heuristic-Aware Anomaly Detection (HAAD) approach develops new behavioral threat detection algorithms that provide fast, effective, flexible, and adaptive defense. Many existing techniques rely on hardcoded signatures, making them brittle, expensive ...

21st Century Technologies (21CT) proposes the Classification Labeling of Aggregated Data (CLAD) Phase 2 effort. CLAD addresses three key challenges in maintaining secure access of documents: 1) ensuring that all documents are properly labeled according to the most current guidelines, 2) providing a security classification level for a collection of documents, for which the aggregation of informatio ...

21st Century Technologies (21CT) proposes SHARP, a planning capability for dynamic resource management in work scope optimization for High Velocity Maintenance (HVM). SHARP is based on past 21CT efforts in dynamic and optimal resource allocation, using our ATO-Stream technologies. The ATO-Stream technologies solve planning problems similar to those encountered in work scope optimization, strategi ...

The objective of the proposed effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of the scalable 3D display technology by Zebra Imaging to produce realistic auto-viewable 3D images for Air Force mission applications related to air, space and cyberspace. A display producing such holographic images provides intuitive visualization of three-dimensional (3D) data and scene information from a wide range of data ...

Refractory carbide materials posses the erosion resistance and high temperature strength required for the severe environments experienced by cutting tools, well bore equipment, and rocket nozzles. In this Phase II, APS will continue its Phase I successes by further demonstrating the performance of the materials manufactured in Phase I. APS has assembled a world class team to help characterize an ...

Cyberspace superiority is a prerequisite for effective operations in all other warfighting domains. To maintain cyberspace superiority, there is a need for effective Command and Control (C2) tools to observe, plan, and execute cyber operations. Visualization is a key enabler of C2 but new approaches are required to address cyber security data sets. A principal challenge is the complexity of this d ...

Aerodyne Research, Inc. (ARI) and The University of Massachusetts at Amherst will collaborate to develop a novel technique for efficient mass spectrometric analysis of high molecular weight analytes such as proteins and polymers. Laser desorption and ionization with minimal analyte fragmentaton will be carried out on metal nanoparticle substrates in a particle beam sampled by Aerodyne’s proprie ...

Agiltron and the University of Massachusetts Lowell will develop a transformational terahertz (THz) imager based on Agiltron’s established optical readout photomechanical imaging technology. The photomechanical imager contains a MEMS-based focal plane array that transduces THz radiation into a visible signal for capture by a high-performance CCD imager. By leveraging the advances made in the fie ...

The proposed innovative in-fiber beam expansion technology and the all inorganic micro-optic fiberoptic device designs intrinsically have advantages in power handling, speed, insertion loss, reliability, and potentially cost as compared with other approaches. Our approaches overcome all the major hurdles in high power 2m fiberoptic device fabrications without trading-off of optical performance ...

This Phase II technology pursuit is a follow-on research and development effort to USSOCOM’s Phase I SBIR Contract No. H92222-07-P-0051. As the result of this follow-on Phase II effort, Agiltron shall provide and demonstrate two (2) very high resolution, low power and low cost imagers that collect long wave infrared (LWIR) radiation and that produce imagery of a target object. BENEFITS: The Gove ...
