Dynamic Collaborative Visualization Ecosystem (DynaCoVE) is a new visualization tool that will support a data-centric, user-centric, visualization algorithm and systems agnostic visualization. It is a visualization software that will allow the user to generate visualization from the data and display it on any of the display systems available in the visualization ecosystem for knowledge discovery a ...

Noise in the source data limits effectiveness and utility of models, algorithms and tools used by the Army for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM+) of its aviation fleet. This impedes the sustainment and availability of its aviation fleet. The Data Refinery for Aviation Sustainment (DRAS) applies methods and techniques from statistics, data science, machine learning and data management to refine the ...

Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. proposes to address the overloaded AMPV cooling system with the Thin Foil Heat Exchanger (TFHX) technology which will provide at least 5%, and potentially 20%, performance improvement with minimal increase in pressure drop. The heat exchanger pack will also meet durability and reliability requirements for military operating environments. The military environment and t ...

Current messaging infrastructures, which are based on centralized architectures, are expensive, inefficient and vulnerable to cyber-attack. The overhead costs of building and maintaining these systems are huge. Decentralized ledger architecture based on blockchain technology presents a new platform for developing secure and efficient messaging software. The Army has identified the need for a scala ...

Applications running on powerful clusters represent invaluable assets for use cases such as decision support and clinical information. However, in emergency situations such as after a natural disaster or in the battlefield access to such powerful systems might be limited or nonexistent. In such scenarios, users have to rely on the limited resources they have on-site which are typically mobile devi ...

When upgrading or redesigning a complex system, it is crucial to under- stand the impact of design changes on the system’s resulting costs, especially costs related to re-certification. System-level requirements cut across several components and subsystems, includ- ing size, weight, and power budgets; bandwidth and processor utilization; timing constraints; safety requirements; and security cont ...

Current military deployable shelters require soldiers to spend large periods of time on setup and take down rather than focusing on their combat missions. With the Army moving to a more expeditionary focus, existing shelter systems have significant disadvantages that make them unsuitable for high-tempo operational missions. Navatek will advance the state-of-the-art for rapidly-deployable shelters ...

The proposed Sequential Phase II proposal builds on the parent Phase II project (SBIR Topic #A11-044; Proposal #A2-4962; Contract #W911SR-12-C-0045) was to develop and build a long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) spectrometer operating in the 8-10.5 micron range, specifically for passive detection of liquid contaminants on surfaces. The overarching goal of the project was to devel ...

Grand Unified Modeling of Behavioral Operators (GUMBO) will combine several different Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL)-based behavior modeling approaches into a single Unified Behavior Representation (UBR), coupled with fast, lightweight analysis and highly automated, usable verification for detailed designs. Component vendors will supply behavioral and interface specifications usi ...

In this Phase I SBIR, Oceanit will build a novel, localized, intrusion detection system for the vehicle control area network (CAN) bus.
