User Systems, Inc (USI) is developing the Unusual Activity or Inactivity Detector (UAID) to automatically search a time series of SAR imagery of a given location to find areas of interest. Changes between consecutive image pairs and movers in the scene ar

The goal of this Phase I project is to develop an affordable, accurate, and rapid absolute interferometric length measurement technique with improved repeatability and accuracy. API has a patent-pending technology, Frequency-Modulated Time-to-Frequency Mapping Interferometer (FM-TFMI), that is an absolute interferometer capable of measuring at high speed and with exceptionally high accuracy. The T ...

Bridger Photonics, Inc. will develop an absolute length metrology sensor that will simultaneously provide >1,000 measurements per second, 0.5 m maximum measurement distance. Bridger’s solution is will fill a gap in precision measurement technology for applications that require rapid monitoring of macroscopic distances such as positioning and calibration of surface metrology systems (CMM, AFM, SE ...

New shape-engineered iron-based microscopic contrast agents (MCAs) for magnetic resonance imaging promise to increase diagnostic accuracy while reducing side effects, and enhance scientists’ ability to track stem cells. Currently, techniques used for making multispectral microscale contrast agent particles are cost prohibitive. In Phase I, an innovative technique (employing template-guided elect ...

The objective of this Phase II project is to research, develop, and commercialize a resonant scan lens (RSL) for use in a resonant light detection and ranging (R-LIDAR) distance sensor. R-LIDAR uses a resonant optomechanical system to generate a beam scan. While resonant optomechanical systems produce high-speed and large field-of-view (FOV) scans from a miniature form factor, the beam scans lack ...

Increasing atmospheric CO2 from anthropogenic sources is changing the chemistry of the oceans and altering the marine food web and the health of :isheries. NOAA’s National Ocean Service is responsible for maintaining the health of coastal regions to preserve :isheries. The ability to monitor the impact of increasing CO2 on marine organisms is crucial to this responsibility. NOAA’s call for aut ...

To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

Moving target defense (MTD) is a cyber defense strategy in which a set of system configurations are dynamically changed to increase uncertainty and complexity for adversaries that try to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. While MTD is considered as a potential game changer in cyber defense, existing MTD solutions for military networks (and enterprise networks) are not sufficient in thwarting ad ...
