Trusted identification and provisioning of public safety individuals is extremely difficult during the chaos and time criticality of emergency response operations. Previously unknown individuals must be verified/vetted/provisioned without the benefit of a thorough face-to-face, manual review. The problem is made worse by the lack of a universally accepted system for identity sharing and coordinati ...

Knowledge is empowering! Organizations equipped with timely cyber risk and defense knowledge are in a much better position to properly quantify and react to cyber risks. Surprisingly, many organizations are still poorly prepared with the needed information, experiences, and best practices to effectively combat sophisticated cyber threats.The Cyber Risk Collaboration & Knowledge Tool (CRiCKeT) is a ...

MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. ...

Our objective is to develop an intelligent communications hub, or gateway device, capable of interconnecting wearable technologies with an array of wireless local and wide area communications systems like LMR, commercial & public safety 3G/LTE, WiFi, and mesh networking. To address this, MaXentric is proposing a solution capable of not only interconnecting devices to communications networks, but a ...

To meet the need for enhanced defense against distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), Grier Forensics proposes developing SPAIN: Single Packet Abuse Interdiction Network. SPAIN amplifies the effectiveness and power of DDoS defenses, reversing the current asymmetry to instead favor the defender. Instead of the passive, isolated, single point defense in use today, SPAIN creates an active, di ...

SOCOM requires a method to field repair multiple materials as well as to mount armor and related hardware for a variety of tactical purposes with a composite material. To address this need, we propose application of a “Modular UV Patch” (MUVP) system that incorporates ultraviolet curing resin systems and an innovative technique for delivering the UV light through optically lossy fibers that f ...

The speed at which an attack is detected is a critical trigger for all responses to follow. The accurate determination of the type of attack will determine the type of emergency personnel and response needed. The location will determine by proximity which of the responders that are available can be first on the scene. Therefore, a system that can do that based on a multitude of input feeds such as ...

The primary objective of this project is to design and develop a rootkit detection system that also has the capability to protect itself. AFCO Systems Development (ASD) proposes to advance the state of system security monitoring technology and meet its objective by developing a PCI card that combines coprocessor based firmware, reconfigurable computing and hostbased software to provide a comprehen ...

SMI proposes developing a portable continuous monitoring system including a radiation sensor, positioning hardware, and wireless communication with a base station for reporting in order to strengthen the nation s ability to monitor and safely utilize radiation sources in legal manners. The local hardware, at the radiation source, will measure the radiation spectrum and intensity at its current loc ...

Accelerated development of directed energy technologies has presented new problems to mission planners and weapon operators regarding the capabilities, lethality and performance of weapon systems. The Emerging Weapons Technology Evaluation Model willaddress these shortcomings by providing users of varying technical expertise 1) the ability to model a variety of weapons in various mission scenario ...
