Hypervisors offer a virtualization platform that is cost effective and attractive from a security point of view because guest operating systems are independent of each other. However, these claims of independence must be certified before it is permitted to use a hypervisor in a security-critical environment. The cost to perform a Common Criteria security evaluation of such low-level system code ...

Applied Visions, Inc. (AVI) is pleased to present this proposal for a Phase II follow-on effort to our Phase I work on Topic OSD08-CR4 “Dynamic Modeling of Safe Routes”. Our concept is to build an Adaptive Visualization of Safe Optimized Routes (AVIsor). Our efforts leveraged work we are performing for NAVAIR on a similar project which is aimed at fielding the Tactical Target Analysis and Pred ...

Weidlinger Associates Inc. proposes to develop effective technology for simulating explosive detonations within civil buildings where the propagation of airblast and failure of weak internal walls are strongly coupled. We will conduct a field test program designed to complement other internal detonation testing efforts such as DTRA''s Distinct Cobra, expanding the available database. We will perfo ...

This Navy SBIR Phase II program looks at the updating (both structural and electronics) of the current Controlled Towed Vehicle (CTV) and the fabrication of a new mount/enclosure that will allow for the mounting of the CTV system on a standard military style wing plyon. The vehicle is primarily for use in atmospheric research, specifically the surface flow over the ocean. Towed behind a research a ...

HYPRES, in collaboration with University of Waterloo, proposes to develop a unique mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) technology for radio frequency (RF) receivers. Using Niobium ICs, we have developed a family of receiver front-ends capable of direct digitization of RF signals up to microwave frequencies (20 GHz). Using Josephson junctions as active devices, this Digital-RF technology features ...

It is proposed to develop and build a prototype system of active magnetic shielding for superconductor electronics packaged on commercial closed-cycle cryocoolers. In this system, the residual magnetic fields inside passive mu-metal shields protecting the heart of the electronics - the superconductor digital integrated circuits and multi-chip modules will be measured by magnetic field sensors base ...

The goal of this project is to develop a digital-RF receiver system to enable direct digital reception from a SIGINT antenna array. In Phase I, we designed a two-input prototype chip integrating two oversampled delta ADCs with a common clock source, and two on-chip digital decimation filters. In Phase II, we propose to design, build, demonstrate, and deliver a complete cryocooled system with a dua ...

The development of optimal engine exhaust noise reduction technology for tactical aircraft continues to rely heavily on laboratory-scale testing due to the absence of appropriate modeling and analysis capability. Thus, concept identification relies largely on engineering intuition, ad hoc reasoning, and exhaustive parametric testing. Another obstacle to the development of exhaust noise technology ...

Beltran proposes to continue the development of an advanced technology for joining of large composite and steel hull structures which are not prone to sudden failure and have much higher strain-to-failure ratio and increased energy absorption than conventional bonds. To ensure joints "structural efficiency, durability, producibility, reparability, and affordability, the Phase II STTR project will ...

Advanced Technologies Group, Inc. (ATG) proposes to develop an innovative High Powered Ram-Air-Turbine (HiRAT) capable of producing over 60kw of power at an air speed of 250 knots. During Phase I ATG will design, analyze and test a scaled turbine to determine feasibility. Preliminary analysis indicates that the ATG HiRAT is far superior to existing conventional turbine designs on several levels.
