This effort will focus on the development and demonstration of new paint replacement applique technology that will operate throughout a broad band range in order to protect DOD shelter structures from Electromagnetic Interference. In addition, our team will investigate the use of novel frequency selective materials to the extent that a lab top prototype and design will be demonstrated for future ...

ABSTRACT:Kitware and the DIRS Lab at RIT propose an open, extensible software framework and demonstration system with automated change detection, tipping and cueing for exploitation of commercial satellite imagery and video. A small satellite revolution is underway in the venture-funded, commercial market. Our proposed open system will tap into this world, engage key providers, and evolve with the ...

ABSTRACT:A system is proposed to access, collate and process imagery from multiple small satellite constellations. The imagery is fused and registered to a common reference so that exploitation algorithms, such as change detection and event monitoring, are reported with accurate geographic coordinates. The system, called SatTel, is implemented as open source software that is designed to run on the ...

Our approach addresses the four Vs of big data and the four pillars, or principles, of ABI, and includes multi-INT data association and fusion, inclusive of objects and activities characterized from FMV streams.To address velocity and veracity associated with of multi-INT data sources we propose to develop a scalable graph-based analytic approach which will perform near real-time analysis of multi ...

AIS proposes the AWARE effort to research, design and prototype a system that will actually improve, rather than degrade, as faults or perturbations are experienced. Todays computer systems and mission assurance approaches are largely built on a foundation of static configurations and require manual upgrades or lengthy software development phases to increase the security or stability of a system. ...

The primary objective of this effort is to develop a framework for providing enhanced space situational awareness (SSA) through the ability to project and visualize threats to blue space assets, and assess the impact of those threats to the assets and the missions they support. The Assessing and Projecting Situations In Space (APSIS) framework leverages a domain agnostic TRL 6 capability for reduc ...

ABSTRACT: Embedded systems vastly outnumber conventional computing platforms such as enterprise servers and personal computers. Many applications of embedded systems are critical to national security and personal safety. However, the level of security provided by the embedded systems is embarrassingly low: researchers successfully compromised embedded systems that control cars, medical devices, vo ...

ABSTRACT: ARTEMIS Inc. proposes to develop a low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) radar sensor that can be produced at low-cost and provide high range and Doppler resolution with multi-mode capabilities, including SAR, GMTI, and HRR.The radar seeker will need to search, detect, and track multiple targets, obtain high probability of detection (Pd) and low probability of false-alarm (Pfa), while maint ...

ABSTRACT: Black River Systems will develop a graph based software prototype that will demonstrate the following capabilities: (1) Capturing, maintaining, and updating a graph based representation of entity association ambiguities of an onboard integration and fusion capability for kinematic and identification sensor information; (2) An automated real time graph solver that produces the most likely ...

ABSTRACT: Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to research the use of continuous HPRF to improve detection range and other improvements for air-to-air and air-to-ground scenarios.We will develop techniques to resolve range ambiguities in a continuous HPRF mode and complete trade-off studies for various ambiguity reduction techniques such as tracking filters.We will evaluate each approach i ...
