The purpose of this proposal is to develop a process capable of fabricating radiation hardened (RadHard) packages for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) microelectronics used in small satellites. The goal is to fabricate a package that mitigates single event effects and reduce total ionizing dose (TID) and dose rate from space radiation. During the Phase I, Triton Systems proposes to demonstrate the ...

The goal of this research is to understand how to structure an environment in which RPA Sensor Operators can manage tracking multiple targets with an automatic tracker rather than tracking one target track at a time. Our approach applies Chens Situation-awareness based agent transparency model: An object-tracking algorithm will report its SA to Sensor Operators (SO). SO will use the SAT level to a ...

As modern mission systems store, process, and transport information and data for different purposes and user groups, the need for securing information boundaries becomes more critical. The proposed effort brings formally verified, open source technologies to improve cyber security and resiliency of military tactical systems against diverse vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized information leaka ...

Many existing network intrusion detection systems (IDS) employ expensive deep packet inspection (DPI) andsophisticated pattern matching algorithms to spot evidence of known threats in the network traffic. WhileIDS are a valuable component of a defense-in-depth strategy, they often require significant compute power,tend to miss new (previously unknown) threats, run on heavy hardware, may require ac ...

The primary objective of the proposed work is to develop a distributed algorithm embedded with capabilities of verifying and localizing coverage hole in a satellite (i.e., sensor) networks without the availability of metric information. Emphasis will be put on developing coverage verification and hole localization techniques for situations where only information about the pairwise relationships be ...

The problem of measuring the flow of fuel in the testing of military aircraft has, so far, been addressed with the use of conventional inline flowmeters, which require lengthy installation/removal times and substantial modification of the fuel lines to allow sensor insertion.Commercial non-invasive flowmeters do not possess the accuracy and robustness required by the U.S. Air Force in its flight t ...

Compared to current practices of todays processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) cycles for fusing the outputs of single-sensor-processing chains during the feature- or decision-level fusion tasks, combining modalities at the data level to learn the target-signatures offers an opportunity to utilize the mutual information among the raw signals generated by the same target. Hence, the auto ...

The need to run network sensing, logging and cyber analytic to detect network anomaly and defense it from malicious attack in Low or No Comms environment remain extreme challenges for CPT during their quick mission deployment. The current toolkits used by CPT are hard to carry, functionally isolated, and not standardized over different organizations. To address this need, Intelligent Automation, I ...

NextGen Federal Systems is proposing a system that addresses one of key problems for human-machine teams as they operate under conditions where communications links can be periodically lost or jammed. One of the primary challenges is that flight crews have to quickly assimilate all of the changes and events that have occurred to the unmanned platform during the outage in order to re-establish a sh ...

Currently fielded multi-beam CDL systems have been developed in an ad-hoc manner consisting of a collection of poorly integrated off the shelf technologies where controllers, radios, routers, firewalls, encryptors, and antennas are bolted together to reduce time to field.Proprietary APIs, electrical interfaces, and hardware interfaces impede the success of the approach and result in a sub-optimal ...
