Because Navy Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) are often not connected to IP networks, yet still may be vulnerable to cyber attack, there is an urgent need for a portable device that can be connected to a variety of non-IP CPSs to assess their security posture. SIFT proposes to develop the CRIMSON Portable Red Team to automatically extract firmware from a target, analyze the firmware to find zero-day ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology. In this proposed effort, Agnitron will investigate the limitations of existing MOCVD technology and propose solutions towards an MOCVD system for Gallium Nitride capable of growth rates over 10um per hour at pressures from low to super atmospheric. The goal is to achieve low background concentration ...

For this program, we propose implementing a novel laser-design concept that will significantly increase the active-region volume in order to maximize the continuous-wave (CW) output power from a single-element, quantum cascade laser (QCL), while maintaining stable, single-spatial-mode CW operation at all drive levels. This is possible, because, unlike infrared (IR) light in conventional diode lase ...

Next-generation naval ships will require electric machinery with at least 50% greater power density than is available today. Such machines must deliver up to 10’s of MW at 100-200 rpm with very high energy efficiency, extremely low noise signature, and reasonable cost. Electrostatic machine technology is often overlooked but is perfectly suited to achieving these goals. C-Motive Technologies pro ...

The technical objectives of this proposal are: 1) demonstrate a single-element, 4.6 micron-emitting quantum-cascade-laser (QCL) with > 40 % continuous-wave (CW) wallplug efficiency (WPE) at room temperature; (2) perform a comprehensive simulation to achieve a design for a monolithic QCL operating in a single spatial mode to 10 W CW output power; 3) perform a thermal-management analysis for the des ...

Monolithic surface-emitting (SE) semiconductor lasers hold promise for significant advantages over edge-emitting lasers in terms of both reliable operation, scaling the CW single-mode output powers into the multi-watt range, and manufacturing cost. Grating-coupled (GC) surface emitters offer a path to achieving single-spatial-mode, single-frequency CW operation, with the added advantage that relat ...

The Navy has identified the need for a software enhancement to the DSSS mode wideband anti-jam modem (WAM) to optimize network performance of the SATCOM link. Traditional networking approaches are incapable of providing mission-efficient and resilient operations at low information rates. To overcome this limitation of the state of the art, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) developed an ...

NAVAIR has identified the need for operating mobile tablets in multi-level secured, disjointed mission environments to establish a common Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) capability across all United States Naval (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) aviation platforms. This will enable access to digital publications, imagery, and dynamic data in USN and USMC aircraft, enhancing aircrew situationa ...
