SoarTech, along with our partners Adaptive Cognitive Systems and Aptima, are applying our vast expertise in the design, development and integration of artificial intelligence technologies, bringing it to bear to help develop more realistic entity-level scenarios for USMC simulated training. Most crucial to our work will be the design and development of a full infrastructure, called SERUM (Simulate ...

The Navy is developing weapon systems capable of launching inert projectiles for long-range surface fire support and missile intercept applications. Inert projectiles offer significant logistical and safety advantages over conventional chemical propellants or explosive ordnances. The launch conditions of future hypersonic projectiles will put extreme mechanical and aerothermal loads on the project ...

SC2RAM (Simulated Cognitive Cyber Red team Attacker Model) is a cyber red team-in-a-box. It combines the cognitive power of human attackers with the efficiency and re-producibility of a computer program. It helps organizations defend against cyber attacks through at least three transition pathways: operator training, testing and certification of defensive automation, and analysis of cyber operatio ...

NMR offers comprehensive capabilities for quantitative investigation of the chemistry, structure and deterioration conditions of concrete. Single-sided NMR provides opportunities for nondestructive, spatially resolved field evaluation of concrete. A first-generation single-sided NMR system was developed in Phase I project, and its potential for investigation of concrete deterioration mechanisms wa ...

Recent research suggests there are opportunities to enhance driver hazard anticipation and avoidance, which could in turn dramatically impact public safety. For example, the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles among 16 year old drivers is some ten times higher than it is among those between the ages of 45 and 55. However, hazard-related training has traditionally been difficult to accompli ...

The opportunity of interest is the introduction and application of a bistatic tool set for both surface and submarine Mid-Frequency (MF) active sonar systems to enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability in strike group or coordinated surface and submarine ASW operations. The ability to localize threat submarine forces in a battlefield scenario by judicious application of bistatic capability ...

Large, open chamber Diesel engines are designed with compression ratios of 16 to 18:1 to facilitate cold starting. This is too high for best economy which is 14 to 15:1. Furthermore, these engines are designed for high power for highway vehicles with reserve for hill climbing and maneuvering. The objective is to demonstrate a combination of simple mechanisms designed for the Caterpillar C-12 to im ...

There is a strong movement to add Non-Kinetic Fire COAs, such as Electronic Warfare attack and Computer Network Attack to the military planners toolbox. Because this new approach, called Integrated Fires (IF), integrates attack types from across traditionally separate planning disciplines it requires the creation of new planning methodologies and technologies. One key technology gap is in the Navy ...

The Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV), a vital component of the Remote Minehunting System (RMS), will soon become operational from the Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). At present, the RMMVs operating envelope is severely limited by the current recovery procedures. Consequently the Navy has determined that it needs to automate the RMMV recovery procedure. Advanced Optical Systems, I ...

We propose an intelligent assessment concept that will discover and reason about KSAs in multiple instruc-tional domains and settings. SoarTech will team with world-class researchers from the University of Califor-nia, Davis and the University of Memphis to research and develop TARGET: Transfer via Active Requests to Generalize Effective Training. TARGET will enhance SoarTechs assessment system DA ...
