At the core of the challenge facing MDA today is one of adversary air and missile threats being able to fly non-ballistic, highly maneuvering hypersonic trajectories all while having the capability of close formation flight of multiple missile threats. This problem results in challenges related to detection of the threat targets as well as the resulting filtering and data association problem. Ther ...

The proposed approach provides innovative sensor data association algorithms capable of performing correct data association in multi-target tracking environments with one or more sensors. Current air and missile threats have the ability to fly non-ballistic, highly maneuvering hypersonic trajectories, and the ability to maintain closely spaced trajectories. Improved detection/track association is ...

This topic seeks an innovative NL solution for answering questions that data analysts ask when analyzing data sets to increase efficiency and consistency. The government is working on an all-digital missile defense simulation architecture that will deliver massive amounts of simulation data. Data analysts will soon be inundated with more data than they can possibly analyze manually. A critical par ...

Seed Innovations (Seed) and the University of Colorado in Denver (UCD) apply our experience in natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence, big data, data analytics, automatic code generation, framework development, and software architecture to accomplish the research required. Through the research on this project, Seed and UCD design and develop a proof-of-concept system, Intellige ...

The most direct way to meet the technical objectives for the Secure Virtual Environment (SVE) for Cyber Resiliency Validation would be to replicate the missile defense system’s tactical hardware, software, and network. However, this is cost prohibitive due to the amount of hardware procurement required for the Cyber test environment. Luckily, with the exception of supply chain threats, firmware, ...

The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is aptly described as a system of systems. Each subsystem within the BMDS is comprised of many custom-designed firmware and software elements. The designs can only be integrated together upon receipt of physical hardware (Circuit Card Assemblies). This delay introduces significant risk to the developer and procurer since system-level design issues may no ...

Traumatic injuries account for 30% of all life years lost in the US and is the leading cause of death for people under 46 years of age. Uncontrolled bleeding or hemorrhage constitute 30-40% of trauma related deaths and are considered to be a major cause o

he Storable Clean Ethane-ethylene Nitrous Engine (SCENE) is a proposed technology designed to provide upper stages and spacecraft with non-toxic, liquid, non-cryogenic, high-performance propulsion with an Isp on the order of 300 seconds. The propellant components are stored as liquids under their saturated vapor pressures. With the SCENE, nitrous oxide is used as an autogenously pressurized oxidiz ...

Uncertainty Reduction in High Speed Flight Vehicle Modeling | Approved for Public Release 18-MDA-9707 (3 Jul 18)

In resource limited settings, rapid and accurate diagnosis of infections is critical for managing potential exposures to highly virulent pathogens,whether occurring from an act of bioterrorism or a natural event. This is especially important for hard to detect intracellular bacterial andalphavirus infections, that overlap symptomatically and often treated empirically due to a lack of reliable and ...
