The project aims to create a framework for real-time wearable sensor analysis that can be used to monitor warfighter health and readiness. There are two parts to the work: Framework and Model. The framework will be built on a smartphone and provides the flexibility to add any number of Bluetooth Low Energy wearable sensors and/or internal smartphone sensors while maintaining low energy consumption ...

Under the DARPA Assured MicroPatching (AMP) program, Web Sensing has already developed initial proof-of-concept hardware building blocks and automated processes that support precision CAN-bus monitoring and secure patching of ground vehicle control system binaries. Here we seek to impact maintenance crews by development of a new technology portfolio that incorporates a Vehicle Analysis Toolkit - f ...

This project will provide the capability of modeling of electromagnetics in systems with highly disparate space and time scales.  This will enable computing the interference by incident electromagnetics on electronic components inside of shielded volumes.  The interference arises because the electromagnetic radiation is able to leak through the seams and of such enclosures as well as through sma ...

By virtue of a Phase I Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract, Code 13 Security (doing business as Dark Sky Technology) has developed a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 5 technology to translate type-unsafe source and binary software into the type-safe language Rust. The design of this system is innovative in its use of machine learning ...

We propose to develop and demonstrate, on fieldable platforms such as the NAI 68ARM2 and 67G6 OpenVPX cards, a portfolio of FPGA capabilities for providing aircraft with resilience and security. These capabilities can be selectively combined by transition partners to meet cyber-defense requirements associated with DoD acquisition programs. Alternatively, the capabilities can be integrated into ne ...

Reducing the False Alarm Rate (FAR) of Automated Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is crucial for Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) and precision target engagement missions. While modern Deep Learning (DL) ATR networks have demonstrated advanced predictive capabilities and generalization for SAR imagery, they lack spatial awareness, resul ...

Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is a leading cause of death when immediate access to a surgeon is not feasible. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), is an emerging and promising lifesaving procedure that involves placement and inflation of a small balloon catheter inside the aorta to control torso bleeding and to maintain blood pressure. However, irreversible ...

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. An ever present and fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping to quickly locate and correctly identify targets from vast quantities of image data. Despi ...

To maintain spectrum dominance against insurgent, near-peer, and peer adversaries, it is imperative for the United States Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD) to expand our nation’s superior capabilities for functions across the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, including communications, wideband electronic attack (EA), and radar missions. While recent advances in exciter and amplifier tech ...

The dynamic geopolitical climate of recent years has shifted the focus of the United States Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD) away from insurgency and toward near-peer adversaries. Maintaining battlefield dominance against well-equipped and highly capable military forces requires innovative, capable, adaptable, and scalable radio frequencies (RF) technologies—particularly those suppor ...
