Special Operations Forces (SOF) require an intuitive LCNC platform and tailored trainings to enable members of its operational units to prep field data for decision making. SOF are charged with conducting military missions of high significance on behalf of the United States and its allies. SOF encounter a diverse and nuanced series of data during missions and during preceding ISR operations; as su ...

Star Lab proposes to research and develop extensions to an already existing bare-metal hypervisor (BMHy), Xen. Xen will be extended to enhance segregation and isolation through the application of mandatory access controls and FLASK policy, support improved timer/interrupt performance for real-time operations, and further existing KBUILD infrastructure to provide a path for additional functionality ...

Propose to develop an adaptive forward-facing cavity nose (AFFCN) dome component that will enable hypersonic interceptor missiles (HIM) to control spontaneous bow shock oscillations (BSO) in order to reduce aero-optic effects on the dome to improve precision guidance capacity of forward looking seekers. The proposed fundamental research on AFFCN will lead to new mechanism to modulate BSO for effic ...

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

Demonstration and firing of thermally enhanced alcohol fuel w/Nitrous Oxide at 900 Lbf. To address the need posed by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), TGV proposes a “˜green’ engine that uses a simple blend of liquid blend of fuels and TGV’s engine technology. TGV proposes modifying our existing 1,000 lbf engine that we have tested to demonstrate and get thermal data using nitrous as the ox ...

Synoptic approach to harmonize discrete data streams in application development 3/20/2018 Purchasing a new or used vehicle can be an exciting, but overwhelming experience. Numerous websites contain information on vehicle safety features, makes and models, cost, history, recalls, and crash and repair records. This large amount of data and its dispersed nature makes for a daunting consumer expe ...

There are two main objectives of the follow-on Phase II for Small Business Innovation Research Topic N08-199.First is to deliver a portable Splash Impact Measurement System (SIMS) with capablility of mapping the debris field surrounding an engagement event in broad ocean areas.This mapping will provide the precise location and time of all objects impacting the sea surface.The second objective is t ...

Technological advances have facilitated weapons systems capable of simultaneously supporting multiple missions leading to cost efficiencies and greater operational flexibility.Future systems capable of deploying multiple payloads from a single missile will enable various targets to be attacked with a single launch allowing more efficient use of limited and valuable resources.For such a system to w ...

Applied Radar has developed a multi-channel wideband digital receiver/exciter (DREX) module denoted as the Single Channel Open Architecture Receiver Exciter (SCORE-X750) which operates at X-band (tunable over 812 GHz) with 750 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. This DREX module is designed for ground-based radars and can be used in new designs or in retrofit and modernization of existing radars. The ...

Ignition of rocket motors can be performed using low-volt firing components, but MIL-STD-1901A requires mechanical isolation for safety. While traditional safe & arm devices are available, they are relatively large and heavy. Recent progress in MEMS has developed miniature safe & arm devices for low-cost munitions such as 40MM grenade and airburst munitions. The Black Hills Nanosystems team has ...
