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 ...

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 ...

Numerous closed-loop neural prosthetic devices are currently undergoing pre-clinical testing, but existing neural recording and stimulation devices are too cumbersome for use outside the clinic. For successful clinical implementation, miniaturized wireless neural recording and stimulation devices are essential. The focus of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to design, build, and commercialize compact ...

In response to DLA SBIR Topic DLA152-001 for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Sentient Corporation (Sentient) proposes to develop a life cycle cost optimization tool based on our commercial DigitalClone modeling technology. This tool will enable users to evaluate the tradeoffs between alternate manufacturing processes, implementation costs, and the performance/durability of the resultant comp ...

This Phase II SBIR project seeks to develop and commercialize methods for recycling rare earth materials from strategic waste streams. Rare earth materials are critical for a broad range of technologies. Important industrial sectors such as defense, manufacturing, energy, transportation, and electronics all utilize rare earths in abundance. There are currently a limited number of economically viab ...

Vadum will develop Chemical, Heterogeneous sensor fusion Incident awareness Module (CHIME)asoftware module that will ingest data from a large number of asynchronous, heterogeneous and multi-tiered sensors to automate the process of estimating the source attributes of a chemical or biological release. CHIME generates estimates from a continuous stream of raw sensor data with successive estimates al ...

Shelter enclosures for military working dogs in the event of a CB attack is a technology gap identified by the Joint Requirements Office. Important parameters to consider in the design of protective enclosures include low weight and size to minimize transport requirements; rapid setup; and accommodation of canine physiological and psychological comfort needs while providing protection against CB ...

Recent DoD programs have furthered intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) objectives by advancing the state-of-the-art in sensor resource management and target tracking. The majority of this work, however, has focused upon the problem of tracking a handful of high value targets for lengthy periods. There is a need to develop systems that detect anomalous activities that have the po ...

The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) continues to develop on SOFC technology for the aeronautics’ industry and their approach is significantly different than the approaches being pursued by the Department of Energy’s Solid Energy Conversion Alliance companies. The NASA Bi-Electrode Supported Cell (BSC) SOFC technology has the potential to provide a significant increase in power performance per ...
