Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) has designed a Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Tool (CyBDAT) to quantify the probabilities associated with Computer Network Attack (CNA), Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) and Electronic Attack (EA) and allow for the direct comparison of cyber-attacks and kinetic attacks in mission planning. In Phase I VCS completed the high level design of CyBDAT, completed the ...

Phase I of Ingenia’s Computer Network Defense (CND) Trainer SBIR project successfully accomplished all objectives and established the foundation for a functional prototype to be developed and demonstrated in Phase II. An enhanced design for the Network Effects Emulation System was produced that is capable of the safe and secure configuration, delivery, and emulation of realistic cyber effects th ...

The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...

Corvid Technologies, LLC proposes the following technical approach to enhance the state-of-the-art in hard kill active protection system (APS) end-game modeling. End-game refers to the effects (both overpressure and fragmentation) APS countermeasures have on incoming threats. In order to develop and evaluate hard kill APS systems, those that defeat threats by physically damaging/degrading them to ...

The Windlift Man Portable Wind Energy System (MPWES) will produce 6 kW of renewable energy while weighing only 440 lbs. The renewable energy density (W/lb.) will be approximately seven times greater than a state of the art solar system, as represented by the GREENS system which is currently deployed by the USMC. Significant optimizations are possible in future design spirals that will allow the sy ...

Corvid is pleased to offer the development of post intercept debris (PID) modeling software through a unique high fidelity physics-based process. Corvid’s unique predictive High Fidelity Computational Physics (HFCP) simulation tools, supercomputing facilities, and PID analysis experience will be leveraged to successfully model surface to air missile interceptor debris including all components fr ...

This program will further the development of large area freestanding GaN substrates (>100mm) and develop a bulk GaN substrate characterization protocol to help reduce the variability in GaN homoepitaxial growth results which have prevented low cost, high voltage, vertical GaN power devices from being realized in an economically viable way.

Vadum will develop a suite of algorithms that generate optimal engagement scheduling for the Aegis Weapons System (AWS) when faced with threats arriving in a swarm or raid. The Prediction, Optimization and Scheduling of System Engagements (POSSE) system will analyze kinematic profiles of threats attacking in raids or swarms, generate candidate Predicted Intercept Points (PIP), and produce an optim ...

Vadum will develop a suite of algorithms that generate optimal Predicted Intercept Points (PIP) for the Aegis Weapons System (AWS). The Threat Prediction for Air Defense (TPAD) system will analyze kinematic profiles of threats attacking in raids or swarms, and generate optimal PIPs that maximize overall engagement success. TPAD will generate sets of PIPs in a shot sequence that prevent post-interc ...

AURA Technologies proposes to create the next generation of LED lighting for the US Marine Corps. LED lighting offers significant advantages that have mainly focused on low power consumption. In the urgency to field the new power efficient LEDs, it was not known that the flicker from LEDs can cause headaches and the angle of view of the existing LED lighting is not optimized - meaning that more LE ...
