User Systems, Inc (USI) is developing the Unusual Activity or Inactivity Detector (UAID) to automatically search a time series of SAR imagery of a given location to find areas of interest. Changes between consecutive image pairs and movers in the scene ar

Conductive films that maintain transparency are a key element in many current products and industries, including electronic devices for touch screens and automobiles to defrost windows. Such films are also useful in military applications. By introducing a resistive taper in conductive films or antennas, overall performance can be improved by reducing backscattering and increasing sensitivity in an ...

Transparent armor (TA) systems represent a substantial portion of the armor weight allocation for many ground vehicle platforms, and weigh substantially more than opaque ceramic solutions designed for the same threat. Lighter-weight transparent armor solutions that maintain or improve on the ballistic capability compared to current generation recipes can offer mission performance, acquisition and ...

This Phase II SBIR effort will develop a LPI/LPD waveform and hardware system to transmit large data files efficiently and securely over great distances using RF signals that do not require the support of infrastructure such as cellular towers or satellites. Analysis of waveform and communication techniques will be summarized in a trade-off study and a selected waveform/communications technique wi ...

We are prototyping a helmet-integrated system for personal hostile fire detection (HFD). The system detects small arms fire and geo-locates the shooter(s). This project to develop a Mark 1 prototype is conceived as the first of three efforts to create a mature system that meets the sponsors objective specifications.

BlueRISCs proposed solution takes the form of a binary-level toolkit that provides a fundamentally new approach to enable the extraction of a vulnerability-focused architectural model as well as an interactive security-focused visualization framework from an embedded software binary without any source-code knowledge.It is based on a conceptual framework that is able to identify and model external ...

To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

Defending against state-of-the-art cyber attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats requires the capability to counter the adversarys actions after they have already gained a foothold within our networks. Network deception techniques, working in conjunction with normal cyber defense methods, can alter the underlying attack process, making it more difficult, time consuming, and cost prohibitive fo ...

Moving target defense (MTD) is a cyber defense strategy in which a set of system configurations are dynamically changed to increase uncertainty and complexity for adversaries that try to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. While MTD is considered as a potential game changer in cyber defense, existing MTD solutions for military networks (and enterprise networks) are not sufficient in thwarting ad ...

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 ...
