An important application for geospatial 3D models is fast transmission and rendering for disadvantaged users who have only a web browser and a limited bandwidth connection. Point cloud models commonly used within the NGA are too large for efficient transmission and rendering. Kitware’s new research on the IARPA CORE3D program has demonstrated procedural building models from point clouds for more ...

Developing knowledge-driven nanoelectronics for military applications requires understanding the fundamental physics that governs the behavior of the underlying material. Strongly correlated materials have very desirable properties such as interfacial superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and huge magnetoresistance, which make them an ideal set of candidates to integrate with semico ...

The commercial small satellite provider Planet is expanding towards global coverage at a daily revisit rate at the cost of lower resolution imagery than satellite providers like DigitalGlobe. The lower resolution diminishes the effectiveness of Planet in many surveillance applications that would greatly benefit from its coverage and revisit rate. We therefore propose a single image super resolutio ...

The Secure Decisions team will conduct research to: 1) determine how human dimensions of software engineering (SE) processes influence software security and quality; and 2) develop mechanisms for measuring these relationships in both open source and closed (private) development environments. The human dimensions of interest are: characteristics and behaviors of developers and development teams; en ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal proposes to develop a formal prototype of a fast speed electronically Switchable Optical Filter in 900-1700nm. The result is a compact plate-like filter with 50mm optical aperture in diameter and 3.4mm physical thickness. The filter can be electronically switched between a broadband transmission state over the entire 900-1700nm and a narrow bandpass transmission at 1,55 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Net-centric warfare places burdens on mission planners and commanders to understand dependencies, readiness, mobility, interoperability, and risk of cyber assets in addition to kinetic assets. They need to know "which computing assets are required for the success of the mission," "are there threats to their mission-readiness," "what is the impact if an asset is breached," and "are they where they ...
