Welkin Sciences proposes investigating scintillation-hardening techniques applicable to DoD's strategic communication systems, focusing on hardening specific SATCOM links within the Ballistic Missile Defense System Communications Network that are of particular interest to DTRA and its customer, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). These new scintillation-hardening techniques are based on computationa ...

The overall objective of the Phase II effort is to further investigate the generations of RF emissions from the detonation of high explosives and how those signatures maybe used to further understand the complex interactions within an event as well as the physics responsible for their generation. To accomplish this objective, IS4S will conduct an optimized series of experiments based on the lesson ...

Hypersonic weapons are a clear and present danger to our country. To defend against these high-speed weapons, the sensor-to-shooter chain must move sensor data securely without time delays. For incoming hypersonic and ballistic threats, the Space Development Agency (SDA) must transfer large quantities of targeting data in real-time across a mesh network of satellite crosslinks, and back-and-forth ...

Tau Technologies will deliver to the Space Development Agency Integrated Architecture Technology Testbed (IATT), whose benefit will be the ability to confidently and accurately result in the generation of, for each National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA) element, cost, schedule and performance acquisition requirements.  This capability to enable SDA to confidently perform comparative analysis, ...

The goal of the proposed project is to create Kin-X, a novel software system to generate both rapid and deep intelligence from a wide variety of DNA types by inferring distant kinship relationships between individuals and reconstructing familial pedigrees. Kinship inference and pedigree reconstruction are both computationally intensive processes, and our proposed system is designed to achieve both ...

For effective protection against radiated threats, produced by high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) caused by nuclear detonations and high-power microwave (HPM) Directed Energy (DE) weapons it is important to understand not only the physics of the threats, but also to quantify the effects on mission-critical electrical systems. EMP/HMP simulators enable threat level testing of MCS and provid ...

The Nu-Trek Team is developing the µDet, a low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) readout integrated circuit (IC) for gamma and neuron detectors. µDet offers pulse shape digitization, which in turn enables gamma-neutron discrimination. This is a game changing capability that brings laboratory-level functionality to the field. In Phase I the Nu-Trek Team developed a baseline design for the µDet read ...

Submitted at the invitation of the contracting office, this proposal details the Phase II Base and Phase II Options planning and costs for the development of the Interferometer for Neutral-Thermosphere Dynamics Imaging (INDI). The recently completed Phase I effort resulted in the design of a cubesat compatible sensor for measuring altitude profiles of the neutral wind speed and direction by measur ...

Cambrian Works (CW) addresses a space defense need identified by the US Space Force (USSF) for agile, resilient communications in the proliferated-Low Earth Orbit (P-LEO) space. CW adapts a commercial, multi-mode, secure, standard-interface small satellite communications subsystem for defense use to enable USSF distributed, difficult-to-defeat, constellation capabilities in mission areas such as S ...

The Mobius Team is comprised of Mobius Consulting, LLC and our subcontractor, Parsons Government Services.  Team Mobius will develop a prototype of an Integrated Digital Engineering Framework (DEF) capable of performing as an  Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) Testbed.  This testbed facilitates the formation of traceable requirements and seamlessly supports the assessment of military uti ...
