Cyber threats facing Aircraft Systems and related DoD advanced information technology systems requires cyber infrastructure matching their enormity and complexity, accompanied by Risk Assessment capabilities for understanding intricate hostile attack options, assessing vulnerabilities and facilitating decision-making. This decision making capability should include those related to investment into ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. will develop innovative cognitive software algorithms and techniques for electronic warfare in order to counter highly agile radar emitters. We will define and develop a concept for cognitive Software Algorithms EW techniques for identifying and countering agile threat emitters. We will also develop prototype signal sets that emulate threat emitters. We will dem ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal proposes to develop a formal prototype of a fast speed electronically Switchable Optical Filter in 900-1700nm. The result is a compact plate-like filter with 50mm optical aperture in diameter and 3.4mm physical thickness. The filter can be electronically switched between a broadband transmission state over the entire 900-1700nm and a narrow bandpass transmission at 1,55 ...

The Secure Decisions team will conduct research to: 1) determine how human dimensions of software engineering (SE) processes influence software security and quality; and 2) develop mechanisms for measuring these relationships in both open source and closed (private) development environments. The human dimensions of interest are: characteristics and behaviors of developers and development teams; en ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop plug-and-play query-based platform that provides a general and scalable solution to CAD-CAE and CAE-CAE interoperability problems. The approach is based on the following observations: (1) the shape and material information in any CAD model may be abstracted by a finite collection of queries -- formally defined and computable functions -- that eliminate t ...

Developing knowledge-driven nanoelectronics for military applications requires understanding the fundamental physics that governs the behavior of the underlying material. Strongly correlated materials have very desirable properties such as interfacial superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and huge magnetoresistance, which make them an ideal set of candidates to integrate with semico ...

Warfighters increasingly rely on mobile devices for voice communication, access to information, and execution of apps that aid them in their tasks. However, untrustworthy applications and risky online behaviors can compromise the mobile device. To be secu

System maintenance is time consuming, expensive, and can cause extensive downtime if done improperly. To avoid improper system maintenance, extensive training is often required for existing systems, with additional training required for new capabilities b

1. Produce AdVLP 55 to address the ongoing epidemic of Adenovirus type 55 causing severe pulmonary infections and death in Asia. 2. Establish analytical methods to monitor in-process production control, characterize the final vaccine product, conduct Ad

Essential to supporting the requirements from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Nuclear Enterprise Support Office (NESO) provides essential support to aging nuclear systems that are expected to remain in service for the next 20 to 25 years. Challenged by part obsolescence, company mergers and sales, loss of technical data, and aging technologi ...
