FireSky/CHATTIN (Cyber Hardening and Agility Technology for Tactical IP Networks) provides cyber defense, agility, and real-time threat intelligence for aerial tactical IP networks. FireSky/CHATTIN drops into existing IP based aerial networks and provides cyber defense. This work involves enhancing FireSky/CHATTIN to provide the capabilities required for deployment to Battlefield Airborne Communic ...

In this Phase II effort, Zeteo will further develop over-the-ear and in-ear canine hearing protection device prototypes. These devices will combine passive hearing protection with active noise cancelation. The devices will also have a communication channel to allow the handler to communicate with the dog. Design requirements evolved from Phase I will be used to design over-ear and in-ear configura ...

Airworthiness assessments of software-intensive based systems in aviation cannot be limited to verification and testing of the end product, i.e. computer code, since other factors can have an important effect on safety and integrity. Current methods and tools have limitations that do not adequately address the issues affecting the growth in complexity and cost of system development and certificati ...

The team will develop a prototype of a virtual reality environment for high school students who are learning a foreign language. Students will become active participants in virtual scenarios using the target language of instruction (Russian in Phase I), with listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition and recall, and grammar development occurring implicitly in simulated real-world context. At ...

Accurate and timely weather information for situational awareness is critical to the success of Air Force missions. To date, space-borne sensors for weather forecasting primarily include visible, infrared, and microwave instruments. While visible and infrared sensors have reached a high level of maturity and performance, those operating in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum conti ...

The Phase I SBIR will develop a strong set of cyber security fuzzing techniques for a predetermined data bus interface from which the user can select to execute a cyber security test. During the development of the prototype tool, requirements for the user interface will be developed with input from the user, to define the control, monitoring, fuzzing technique selection, and test execution capabil ...

Running out of ammunition on the battlefield often leads to the need for a manually delivered resupply. This creates a dangerous situation for all involved, placing both the individual soldier and courier’s life at risk. With recent advances in autonomous vehicles, an effort is being made to deliver ammunition to soldiers without need for manual transportation. However, the process of knowi ...

ARMR offers a novel hemorrhage control tourniquet to increase survivability of traumatic injury in the absence of immediate medical support. Designed to be integrated with clothing, its products offer life-saving capabilities by combining standard tourniquet practice with the functionality of vascular clamps, and can be quickly activated in self or buddy-care settings without medical training. As ...

To apply current technological advances in AR and instructional science to benefit AF maintenance training, IAI proposes to build Augmented Reality Technician Training for the AF. Under Navy sponsorship, we have created exemplar AR-based tutors for the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT). After our sponsors evaluated our tutor at NAS Jacksonville, they said the results were � ...

Manned-Unmanned teaming opportunities are advancing at a rapid pace. Sophisticated systems such as the Air Force's Rapid Airfield Damage Assessment System, are beginning to rollout capabilities which will build up to an autonomy enabled airfield repair system. As these systems mature, validated training tools are needed to prepare personnel for efficient employment of the systems. WAVE—Wate ...
