The CRIPTC Secure Processor executes encrypted code directly – the code and data are never decrypted, never existing as plaintext once within the system, including the memory, cache, and CPU. A would-be attacker is never given the opportunity to probe to capture the unencrypted code. CRIPTC revolutionizes protection of military critical technology and commercial intellectual property by enabling ...

Areté Associates has created a software architecture to develop a flexible, user-friendly modeling and simulation tool providing a capability for performance evaluation of direct detection LADAR systems operating in a battlefield environment. The Phase I model requirements analysis, software design and user interface elements will be used in Phase II to develop a standalone C++ application runni ...

There is an urgent need for a man-transportable EOD robot which can quickly traverse the distance between its operator and the suspected UXO, perform manipulation tasks requiring high dexterity, and then quickly return. This proposal describes an innovative solution to this need called ‘Taz’. Taz will weigh 40 kg, be capable of 40 kph for up to 8 hours, and will offer high dexterity manipulati ...

Present methods of vector-raster conflation require extensive human intervention and labor, which is an expensive effort better spent in cognitive, decision-making tasks. Integration or alignment of vector and raster geospatial data may have inaccurate and contradictory geo-references, or not have them at all. Different and unknown rotations, disproportional scales, uncontrolled noise, various p ...

Our Phase I goal is was to design a cross-domain geospatial database system (CGDB) that can fully retain and rapidly access the data required for a wide range of applications, from multi-band visualization to constructive simulation. The CGDB system would preserve the highest fidelity of the source data in the most versatile, application-neutral format. There will be an ex-pandable definition f ...

To address the Army’s need for a non-invasive, rapid, field-deployable and inexpensive hydration status monitoring technology, in Phase I, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) developed and demonstrated a new Ocular Hydration Monitor (OCHYMO) system. OCHYMO is based on measuring the plasma omolality by non-invasively measuring the osmolality of the aqueous humor. The hand-held, battery operated Phase I prototyp ...

Airborne navigation, reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting are critical missions that must be performed by the U.S. military in environments where reliable GPS services are unavailable or intentionally denied. Congruently, civil aviation has a similar need for onboard GPS-denied navigation and autonomous airport/runway recognition to enable the seamless integration of unmanned aircraft into ...

The Phase I project objective is to develop processing methods for improved processing of target tracks and classification with data from multiple, distributed sensors that includes so called vital (or critical) infrequent data. Vital infrequent data (VID) is measurement data that occurs infrequently but is critical (vital) for acceptable system functional performance. VID includes attribute mea ...

At the present time there is no system to monitor the progress of medical shipments to and within the combat theater other than those pallets that are tagged with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in compliance with the current DoD mandate for tagging pallets and cases. Full implementation of the DoD mandate to tag all pallets and cases of Class VIII (Medical) materiel is not expected to ...

A unique, body-worn, personal area network using lightweight, inductively-coupled (near-field) software-defined-radio (SDR) links to communicate physiologic-sensor and geo-position information is essential to the reduction of soldier heat-injuries, enables advanced physiologic research and provides a means of significantly increasing the quality and effectiveness of training for dismounted Warfigh ...
