The objective is to design an analog (time-continuous) radiofrequency (RF) computation platform in the form of a software-defined RF integrated-circuit (IC) with supplementary digital logic for solving differential equation based simulations at speeds that are 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than available digital high-performance computation platforms. The maximum speed that the state-of-the-art ...

While the movement to standardize engineering processes into the development of computing systems has been incrementally successful, the defect density of software systems continues to rise. A revolution in synthesizing systems is called for, and was answered by DARPAs Mining and Understanding Software Enclaves (MUSE) program, but how do we know these synthesized systems are verifiably non-exploit ...

The importance of graph applications is growing as society becomes more interconnected. Many real world datasets are best modeled as graphs, e.g., road networks, the Internet, social networks, protein-protein interactions, utility grids, and communication. Graph analytics be used to answer many different categories of questions, including traversal, querying, and data mining. It is often desirable ...

This program will combine Silicon Technologies analog automation technology ADONIS with EBDW technology.This combination will reduce design times and costs for Analog Trusted circuits and will facilitate reuse of obsolete, radiation-hardened, precision analog components. Originally funded by the DARPA GRATES program, ADONIS demonstrated that with analog specific modifications, ADONIS Straight Line ...

This work advances the state-of-the-art in high-speed diagnostics for the characterization of fireballs, hot gases, and aerosols released by explosives detonation.The proposed advancement is the development of an integrated optical sensor suite, selected from technologies which are already in development in the portfolio of the proposers.The sensor suite will include PIV, PLIF, and LIBS instrument ...

Radioisotopes can be identified by the emission of neutrons & gammas having characteristic energies.Most hand-held radioisotope identification instruments, however, are gamma-ray centered designs that optionally include neutron detectors of limited sensitivity. Passive measurements of gamma-ray signatures can easily be compromised by shielding a source. Photogenics has developed a neutron spectrom ...

CRG is reducing the cost-to-space by leveraging MG Resina new high-temperature polymerto decrease structural and TPS mass fractions in support of reusable launch vehicle (RLV) development. In Phase I, Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. (CRG) demonstrated feasibility of MG Resin with regard to thermal performance and composite processing. MGs unique chemistry demonstrated thermal oxidative stability ...

To address the DoD need for a low SWaP fuselage conformal high energy phased array laser beam director, Optonicus proposes the development of a new Airborne Phased ArrayConformal, High Energy (APACHE) weapons system.The APACHE architecture, based on an athermalized conformal optical design and novel wide FOV beam steering controls that accommodate all necessary acquisition, pointing, and tracking ...

Electrical circuit designers at Tier 2-4 suppliers to the Department of Defense (DoD) are currently using desktop computing to design their products. To improve the circuit design in the DoD supply chain, designers will need to be able to analyze their circuits with High Performance Computing resources. Designers seeking to innovate their circuits must have access to HPC facilities that maintain c ...
