Evaluation of SANDGT Using SOA Framework for Persistent and Risk-Averse Space Situation Awareness
SBC: INTELLIGENT FUSION TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: AF12BT09ABSTRACT: Space superiority needs protected tactical space communications with dynamic spectrum sharing, routing adaptation and interference mitigations against kinetic and non kinetic threats. The main focus of this project is to develop game-theoretic analytics and frameworks to support the Air Forces autonomy science & technology strategy (e.g., "deterrence" posture which in turn may be enabled ...

Evaluation of High Performance Computing Enabled Multiple-Target Tracking Based on Massive Parallelism for Urban Surveillance Areas
SBC: INTELLIGENT FUSION TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: AF13AT10ABSTRACT: Threat detection of people, vehicles, and others as well as person-vehicle interactions (dismounts) of possible malicious intent are difficult problems due to the complexity of the problem space. The wide area motion imagery (WAMI) systems aid analysts to track and identify dismounts, but typically produce an overwhelmingly large amount of information. The large scale data input challeng ...

A Comprehensive Framework to Develop, Refine, and Validate Learning Agents for Tactical Autonomy
SBC: ORBIT LOGIC INCORPORATED Topic: AF15AT14ABSTRACT: To maintain superiority in the battle domains of space, ground, air and sea, it is natural that the U.S. move toward incorporating autonomous capabilities to enhance/replace the traditional role of humans. Continued advances in processing capability and techniques to employ decision logic and adaptive learning strategies will soon make this vision reality. To deploy any such capability o ...

Active Control of a Scramjet Engine
SBC: COMBUSTION SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: AF15AT19ABSTRACT: The hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet is capable of providing hypersonic air-breathing propulsion for high-speed applications. The effective operation of high-speed air-breathing engines (ram- and scram-jets) over a wide range of flow parameters (velocity and altitude) is one of the most technically difficult challenges in the design of hypersonic vehicles. The most promising approach to overc ...

Prediction and Measurement of the Soot Build-Up in Film-Cooled Rocket Engines
SBC: COMBUSTION SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: AF15AT21ABSTRACT: The need for improved performance of liquid rocket engines requires efficient wall cooling technologies to mitigate high heat fluxes from hot combustion gases to the engine wall in the thrust chamber. High heat fluxes to the chamber liners can be overcome by fuel film cooling (FFC) of the inside chamber using the liquid propellant. Moreover, the thermal cracking of the fuel creates coke ...

Prediction and Measurement of the Carbon Build-Up in Film-Cooled Rocket Engines
SBC: SIERRA ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: AF15AT21ABSTRACT: Sierra Engineering Inc. (Sierra) believes that existing chemical kinetic models can be efficiently incorporated into commercial CFD codes to predict the mixing, pyrolysis, soot formation and carbon deposition within film cooled rocket engines. During this Phase I STTR effort we will demonstrate that this analysis capability is practical and that we can generate appropriate model validati ...

High Performance and Novel Target Recognition Algorithm in the Sparse Measurement Space
SBC: Applied Research LLC Topic: AF15AT27ABSTRACT: Our main objective in this project is to propose a novel Structured Sparse Priors for Target Recognition (SSPTR) system and to demonstrate that discriminative applications such as data clustering or target detection, tracking, and classification can be solved effectively and directly on the compressed measurement domain without the need to recover the original data. Our proposed sparse-r ...

Harness Enhanced Awareness for Radio System (HEARS) for Dynamic Spectrum Access in Space Application
SBC: INTELLIGENT FUSION TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: AF13AT02ABSTRACT: In this project, IFT and its academic partner GMU developed an innovative Harness Enhanced Awareness for Radio Systems (HEARS) framework and technical underpinnings for DSA systems operating under conditions of imperfect knowledge, and used the framework to address challenging problems in satellite communication (SATCOM)DSA. As the logical core of the HEARS, Multi-Entity Bayesian Network ...

Physical Sub-Model Development for Turbulence Combustion Closure
SBC: COMBUSTION SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: AF13AT12ABSTRACT: The U. S. Air Force needs turbulent combustion models that can be used to simulate combustion in actual propulsion systems at both design and off-design conditions, not models that are only useful for highly idealized problems. With this motivation in mind, Combustion Science & Engineering, Inc. and the Computational Combustion Lab at Georgia Tech plan to enhance current capabilities to ...
