AIS proposes the Thunderlane effort to define a new operating system model that radically dissolves the boundary between hypervisor and operating system, and leverages state-of-the-art software diversity techniques. In concert, these capabilities provide unparalleled resistance against reverse-engineering, and ensure the reliability and security of application and system software. The Thunderlane ...

In this effort, Innoveering will integrate and test a closed-loop active control system for scramjet isolator shock system positioning. The approach is to control the fuel flow to the engine to position the shock train leading edge at a specified location in the isolator. The control system includes three basic elements: a shock position sensing system based, a fast response fuel valve that adjust ...

Novel algorithms were developed for ecient multi-sensor fusion of correlated high-dimensional data to support target detection. In our compressive sensing framework, high-dimensional data is compressed using low dimensional random projection matrices. When the high-dimensional data exhibits low-dimensional structures, this scheme is capable of capturing all the significant informative with fewer r ...

Our approach addresses the four Vs of big data and the four pillars, or principles, of ABI, and includes multi-INT data association and fusion, inclusive of objects and activities characterized from FMV streams.To address velocity and veracity associated with of multi-INT data sources we propose to develop a scalable graph-based analytic approach which will perform near real-time analysis of multi ...

AIS proposes the AWARE effort to research, design and prototype a system that will actually improve, rather than degrade, as faults or perturbations are experienced. Todays computer systems and mission assurance approaches are largely built on a foundation of static configurations and require manual upgrades or lengthy software development phases to increase the security or stability of a system. ...

The primary objective of this effort is to develop a framework for providing enhanced space situational awareness (SSA) through the ability to project and visualize threats to blue space assets, and assess the impact of those threats to the assets and the missions they support. The Assessing and Projecting Situations In Space (APSIS) framework leverages a domain agnostic TRL 6 capability for reduc ...

ABSTRACT: Embedded systems vastly outnumber conventional computing platforms such as enterprise servers and personal computers. Many applications of embedded systems are critical to national security and personal safety. However, the level of security provided by the embedded systems is embarrassingly low: researchers successfully compromised embedded systems that control cars, medical devices, vo ...

ABSTRACT: ARTEMIS Inc. proposes to develop a low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) radar sensor that can be produced at low-cost and provide high range and Doppler resolution with multi-mode capabilities, including SAR, GMTI, and HRR.The radar seeker will need to search, detect, and track multiple targets, obtain high probability of detection (Pd) and low probability of false-alarm (Pfa), while maint ...

The ALCHEMIST effort will expand upon the work performed under the Phase I CHEMIST effort by improving the software framework and fabricating the EMI detection sensor. Specifically, the effort will focus on develop new sensing capabilities, improving usability of the interface, the development of more reliable anomaly detection techniques, and the integration of the EMI detection sensor. ALCHEMIST ...

System reconnaissance is the typical first step in a targeted attack; the attacker must learn the services available, software used, and operating system configuration in order to determine how to best infiltrate a given system.Reconnaissance is then best thwarted by providing false or non-reusable information to an attacker.Based on a successful SBIR Phase I prototype, ATC-NY will design and buil ...
