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 ...

Centeye will develop a modular and reconfigurable vision-based system that will allow micro and nano air vehicles to operate autonomously in near-Earth environments without the use of GPS. The system will weigh between 1 and 12 grams, depending on the specific configuration. The system will support supervised autonomy, at flight speeds up to 10 meters/sec, in which a human operator provides high l ...

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 ...

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 ...

Solid state RF and millimeter wave weapons systems require substantial power to operate. Pure solid state systems have limited energy density and require charging over the typical use cycle. The directed energy system must be compact enough to mount on a vehicle such as a HMMWV, a small trailer or a structure such as found within an embassy compound. Current power systems are much too large and he ...

ABSTRACT:Clear Science Corp. proposes to develop and demonstrate software that enables safer, more efficient and accurate flight testing of military aircraft. The computational tool is designed to reduce costs by identifying critical and benign areas in the operational envelope and using the information to streamline testing. The proposed technology systematically merges modeling and simulation (M ...

Complex skin defects, including burns and trauma, represent a major medical problem affecting both military and civilian populations. In recent military engagements, burns account for approximately 5% of combat casualties. Furthermore, approximately 1.25 million Americans each year require medical attention for complex skin defects, with 50,000 people hospitalized for burns and 13,000 requiring sk ...

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 ...

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 ...
