New Counter-Counter Measure (CCM) techniques are proposed for Missile Defense (MD) which can provide discrimination of balloons and possibly other decoys in the presence of a Re-entry Vehicle (RV). This will be accomplished by the utilization of new advanced materials and concepts manufacturing and deployment technologies unique to General Sciences, Inc. (GSI), and its subcontractor Miltec. It i ...

A new hybrid model will be developed under this Phase II effort predicting the propagation of transient bursts at high-altitudes that can be used to design and evaluate flux-based discrimination concepts. The hybrid model has 3D continuum (CRAFT CFD® Code), DSMC (DAC97 Code), and free molecular components and performs the complete analysis from burst source to farfield, interfacing solutions alon ...

Radiance Technologies proposes to design and implement a PC-based Laser Radar (LADAR) Scene Generation System. The system architecture will support flexible configuration of the computational elements and subchannel rendering elements within a parallel graphics system. The scene generation system will interface, at a minimum, with the RT-Champ and RT-Flites government sponsored scene simulation co ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

A NEW SYSTEM, THE ANNULAR FLOW ELECTROTHERMAL PLUG RAMJET, IS PROPOSED AS A ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICAL ROCKETS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCHERS AS A KINETIC ENERGY WEAPON. THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING THE HYPERVELOCITIES NECESSARY IN REASONABLE LAUNCHER LENGTHS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE EITHER THE PROPELLANT OR THE PROPULSION SYSTEM REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE HYPERVELOCITIES. ...

We investigate the development of a secure fuselet runtime environment built on a foundation of aspect-oriented web services. Aspect-oriented techniques enable the modularization of crosscutting concerns such as remote access, security, and monitoring using code instrumentation. We compose aspect-oriented instrumentation with web service technologies in a noninvasive and orthogonal manner, and lev ...

This effort is based on the outcome of a successful Phase I project that demonstrated the feasibility of generating logic pattern-based, OS-platform-independent, signatures for malicious program logic and detecting its presence within much larger binary modules. The detection (and localization) of a logic-based signature within a binary executable represents a significant advancement in automated ...

In support of the Raytheon EKV program, Poco Graphite, Inc. has prepared a Phase II proposal entitled “Chemical Vapor Converted SiC as a Beryllium Substitute Material for EKV”. In this Phase II program POCO plans to continue the development of a unique manufacturing technology in order to produce cost- and schedule- effective Silicon Carbide optical systems. POCO, in collaboration with Raythe ...

Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are potentially the most devastating form of computer network attack that could be launched against a sensor-to-shooter defense system. Denial-of-service attacks can bring down entire networks, making sensor-to-shooter network communications impossible and leaving situational awareness lost. In the Denial-of-Service Countermeasures Appliance (DOSCA) Phase I, ISAC d ...
