In this SBIR Phase I proposal, Kent Optronics proposes to validate a fast speed electronically Switchable Optical Filter in short wave infrared spectrum (900-1700nm).The filter enables an innovative remote sensor that can both perform normal broadband multispectral imaging and be used as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) at 1550 nm.The two sensing modes are switched via switching the filter wi ...

Development of air vehicles capable of routine operation and able to achieve hypersonic speeds is paced by the availability of a propulsion system. To meet this need the development of turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) propulsion systems capable of ope...

The GrammaTech Application Security Platform (GRASP) is a tool for enabling app store administrators to specify custom security policies. GRASP will automatically re-write mobile application code to ensure security policies are enforced at run-time, using a combination of static analysis and injected run-time instrumentation. GRASP will Leveraging GrammaTech's experience on performing static analy ...

Third-party software dependencies have proliferated modern software development. Many of these dependencies are available only as binaries, and have lurking known vulnerabilities in them, making them easy targets for cyber-attacks and unleashing malware ...

X-GRID (Phase I) will investigate the feasibility of generating a reference data set containing at least 1 million military and veteran resumes (including skills), at least 10 million civilian job postings and a sufficient number of correspondences betwe...

GrammaTech proposes Bug-Injector, a tool for generating cyber defense evaluation benchmarks through the injection of vulnerable code into existing host software. Bug-Injector is highly configurable, providing users the transparency required of a tool used to compare commercial products and perform security audits, and the customizability to enable focused evaluation of specific defensive tools, ho ...

In this seed effort, we will utilize our existing CMOS integrated power inductor process to develop a custom IPD that includes an array of power inductors designed to face-to-face bond with a reference digital-polar power amplifier design exploiting both GaN and CMOS. Building on an existing hybrid GaN/CMOS digital-polar power amplifier (PA) design, a custom CMOS chip will be designed to enable ...

"Anticipating future acts of creativity by our adversaries is very difficult. Yet, to avoid being blindsided by surprising new forms of WMD enabled by technology trends and scientific advances, DTRA must concern itself with exactly such future inventions. ATC-NY will develop the Archimedes system to give the DTRA an early heads up about anticipated technology, and scientific discoveries with po ...

Commercial and Military embedded systems are lacking security properties as demonstrated by the increase in system failures and service disruptions. These breaches are caused by the inability of the operating system to recognize and/or prevent intrusion by unauthorized agents. A family of reliable operating systems (EROS) has been developed and has been recognized by DARPA as a way of solving th ...

Maskless technology capable of sub-100 nm patterning is attractive for manufacturing of many microelectronic and biomolecular devices. In numerous military applications, the number of different types of electronic modules required is large, whereas the quantities needed of each type of module are small, making the mask costs prohibitive. Previous maskless lithography approaches of imaging a spat ...
