Triton Systems proposes to develop easy-to-use in-ear hearing protection which will reduce the occlusion effect, provide pass-through communication and nonlinear filtering of loud sounds.

Air and missile threats can fly highly maneuvering, complex trajectories. This poses a challenge to tracking algorithms during data association because of confusing targets, proximal detections and fast motion. In the proposed effort we propose to develop deep learning based technologies for data association to improve the accuracy of data association. Deep learning has shown significant gains in ...

At the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), the system-wide approach to test engineering generates massive amounts of multi-dimensional data, which analysts explore to evaluate Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) configurations, engagement conditions, and target phenomena. Analyses are limited by time to construct each data query, technical knowledge, and size/complexity of the datasets and domain. T ...

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 ...

State of the art power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) and controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) methods and testbed are used to evaluate naval ship power architectures. An innovative approach is proposed to leverage these capabilities to generate an architecture and toolkit that provide near real-time digital emulated system-in-the-loop capabilities and code execution testing for missile defense sys ...

In this proposed effort, we propose to develop an extendible virtual execution framework to support dynamic code analysis of embedded systems. The key innovation of this proposal includes developments of: (1) an extendible virtual processor module which can integrates heterogeneous Multiprocessor System on Chip (MPSOC) with different ISA (ARM, PowerPC, etc) and memory architecture; (2) an extendib ...

The Missile Defense Agency is constantly developing state-of-the-art anti-ballistic missile defense technologies and maintaining a constellation of defense platforms, known as Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to provide ultimate national security. BMDS consists of networked sensors for detection and tracking, interceptor missiles for destroying threats, and a Command Control Battle Manageme ...

Thestate of warfighters (whether theyarefatigued, distracted,and/or stressed)and of theteam (whether theyare workingtogethereffectivelyand cohesively)greatly impact thelikelihood ofmission success. The brain isan excellent source of data with which to assess individualand team states. Unfortunately,current technologiescannot supportcontinuous neural statemonitoring of warfightersacross themany dif ...

There is an urgent need to bypass or cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) to deliver drugs for TBI treatment. This project aims to develop targted intranasally delivered, magnetically propulsed, and targted nanoparticles for traumatic brain injury (TBI). In Phase I, we will demonstrate the design, fabrication, and in vitro characterization of proposed drug laden magnetic nanoparticles as well as co ...

Metallic additive manufacturing (AM) is an attractive technology for the production of lethality test articles due to the potential for significantly reduced lead time and manufacturing cost.However, in order to be effective in providing accurate lethality data, the properties of the AM material have to match closely the properties of conventionally manufactured alloys found in real threat targets ...
