Techshot proposes the L4 ArchitectUre for Next-generation Crewed Hardware (LAUNCH), a set of open-source software components that leverages the verified separation kernel of seL4 to create a robust achievable system that can be used to reduce the cost and development time of highly reliable systems like those used on crewed space flight. With over a 25 year history of developing life science paylo ...

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 ...

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 ...

Development of a low-cost, near term approach to flight testing a hypersonic, storable fuel, scramjet engine using ballistic range technology is proposed. Flight-testing is easily the most expensive component of the triad of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), ground-testing and flight-testing needed to develop and demonstrate sustained and accelerating airbreathing flight at hypersonic speeds. ...

There is a critical need for an all weather capability to detect and classify military targets concealed in foliage and/or camouflage. Recent advances in high resolutions synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, operating at low frequencies (VHF-UHF), have demonstrated significant capability for detection and classification of such targets. However, one of the primary difficulties is the signi ...

A novel architecture employing optimized space-time-frequency processing to meet the seemingly disparate requirements imposed by FOPEN SAR and MTI is presented. Two primary techniques are discussed: (a) simultaneous, long-dwell multibeam receive processing and (b) wideband, udorandomly hopped frequency employ multiple, wideband antenna elements each wi ...

This SBIR Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of an improved control strategy for piezoelectric positioners used in scanned-probe microscopes (SPMs) to increase their speed and reliability for nanocharacterization. Rapid nanocharacterization requires fast motion of the scanned piezo probe with sub-Angstrom vertical resolution and with frequent rapid changes in its axial position. Se ...
