How can one make a sensor that can make different types of measurements on a large area, on a shape that is not known a priori, that is lightweight, that is accurate with a fine resolution, while at the same time has the resolution and sensitivity of astand-alone instrument, and at an affordable cost?'This proposal will develop a process and a tool to answer this commonly asked question in militar ...

Applied Science Innovations, Inc. in collaboration with Lockheed Martin Corporation proposes development of the Super-resolved Volumetric Imagery from Video Aerial Surveillance (SVIVAS) – a novel set of image processing algorithms to produce, with modern wide area video sensors, highly accurate 3D models of the area under surveillance, with voxel sizes one-half of the sensor fundamental ground s ...

Theoretical research on asynchronous circuits has provided top﷓down methods that start from an operational description of a circuit. Top-down methods avoid the difficulty of understanding (let alone verifying) the behavior of compositions ofasynchronous components. In practice, however, design begins from a functional decomposition, often incorporating components previously designed. ATC-NY w ...

Sophisticated attacks on computer systems typically proceed in stages. The attacker first probes the target site to discover its vulnerabilities, and then exploits the vulnerabilities. To avoid detection, attacks can be spread out over time or be launchedfrom multiple hosts. An attacker who has gained entry to a network host can use it as a base from which to attack other hosts on the network. Cur ...

The primary objective of this effort is to research and develop advanced algorithms suitable for spectral signature extraction and spectral matching to improve full motion video (FMV) multi-target track longevity and purity. Black River Systems Company proposes a systems level approach to improving and evaluating performance using hyperspectral feature-aided association to achieve greater track li ...

Advanced GMTI radars provide the capability to detect and track both ground vehicles and dismounted troops both in the open and under foliage. Sources of false alarms for these systems include the detection of animals because of their similar speed of movement and radar cross-section to individual and groups of dismounts. We plan to develop, test and demonstrate the feasibility to provide reliabl ...

Recent DoD programs have furthered intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) objectives by advancing the state-of-the-art in sensor resource management and target tracking. The majority of this work, however, has focused upon the problem of tracking a handful of high value targets for lengthy periods. There is a need to develop systems that detect anomalous activities that have the po ...

The proposed effort addresses the important need to develop an efficient direct emission source in the 555-585 nm (deep-green) wavelength range, corresponding to the peak photopic response of the human eye. Current limitations in extending the operatingwavelengths of III-N devices beyond the blue-green region of the spectrum are overcome by combining the quantum dot approach, in which a red shift ...
