Future missile systems will abandon the traditional hemi-spherical shape for shapes resembling a tangent Ogive. An ogive shaped dome has better aerodynamic capabilities than its spherical counterpart. This enables the missile to fly faster, farther, and with more accuracy while also increasing its payload capacity. The optical material of choice is polycrystalline alumina, PCA, which is a hard cer ...

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 ...

The overall objective of this topic is to build applications that expand the ecosystem of secure software components around the seL4 operating system microkernel. The CTI/SU teams interpretation of this is broad, including an application primarily as a demonstration of the utility of a more fundamental expansion of the ecosystem: to release to the community, as open source, a minimized Trusted Com ...

This SBIR extends and refines pulse clustering and de-interleaving software modules (C/C++), as explored in Phase I, to process non-contiguous clusters of pulses received from Electronic Support (ES) acquisition scanning receivers sampling the signal environment (spectrally, spatially, and temporally). It also provides an approach to detect, mitigate and better utilize pulses with multi-path. The ...

Software provides critical functionality to the DoD, as well as to the communications, banking, and logistics industries we rely on. Runtime monitoring is now routinely applied to quickly identify and limit attacks. However, monitors have difficulty distinguishing good behavior from bad because intended application behavior varies widely. This proposal describes SMAC (Scenario-based Modeling & Che ...

The proposed effort will expand on the previous efforts data mashing technology development to enable it to handle scenarios that are simultaneously more complicated and more dependent on high accuracy. This project will fulfill the solicitations Phase II goal, Develop a prototype that demonstrates the efficacy of DATALATOR technology based on Phase I results, data, and analysis. Evaluate the per ...

ABSTRACT:The overall goal is to develop an evaluation systembased on real Mission dataof Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) exploitation algorithms.Real-world Mission data is identified by analysts, who in the standard course of doing their job, fulfill Request for Information (RFI) Essential Elements of Information (EEI) responses.Our objectives are to provide the capability to evaluate a wide ...

ABSTRACT: Stainless steel ballscrew components, such as those found in landing gear and flap actuators on the C-130 aircraft, experience wear and subsequent failure due to corrosion, contamination and foreign object damage (FOD).High dither conditions, caused by constant short-travel, high-frequency movement to maintain level flight, can also induce wear on actuator components.The Air Force and co ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to develop and estimate the performance of innovative improvements to radar systems that will help defeat advanced countermeasures. Novel signal processing techniques for detecting and filtering objects will provide for improved radar tracking in dense raid environments. The proposed techniques will allow for rapid filtering of debris and advanced cou ...

This proposal encompasses two opportunities, low cost finishing of monolithic optical ceramic domes with embedded grids, and low cost finishing of a novel optical ceramic domes. In Phase II we will continue to improve our manufacturing process to show a
