To address the need for oceanography tactics training able to enhance community knowledge of how oceanography impacts antisubmarine-warfare (ASW) prosecution in both analysis and employment of tactical sonar systems, ARiA will build on the success of the Phase I effort to further develop the ESAIL Cloud software-based tool for generation of training content on tactical employment of oceanography t ...

Since World War II, normal aircraft braking is achieved through a system of hydraulically activated carbon brakes located on the main wheels of the aircraft. These friction-based systems offer limited performance and reduced braking capabilities due to brake fade, overheating, thermal loading issues, and generally higher operational, maintenance, repair and overhaul costs over the life cycle of th ...

To address the Navy need for enhanced ambient-noise modeling for sonar-sensor performance estimation, sonar tactical decision aids (TDAs), and simulation-based training, ARiA will develop, demonstrate, and transition key building blocks for an enhanced multidimensional ambient-noise model (MDANM) needed to overcome the limitations of the current state of practice for noise modeling in sonar TDAs a ...

MICA was selected and awarded to ARiA under SBIR Topic AF151-194, technically managed by AFRL/RITB with SAF/AQ-OTI as the sponsor organization. Under prior Phase I and II SBIR efforts ARiA developed, trained, and tested the Machine Interface for Contracting Assistance (MICA). MICA leverages academic and commercial-sector advances in cognitive-computing, deep learning, graph storage, informational ...

To support geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) through exploitation and analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and address the challenges created by task-specific classification methodologies where feature extraction is mission-limited, ARiA will utilize deep learning (DL) expertise to enable automated unsupervised feature extraction (AUFE). Building upon our development of unsupervised D ...

Many existing network intrusion detection systems (IDS) employ expensive deep packet inspection (DPI) and sophisticated pattern matching algorithms to spot evidence of known threats in the network traffic. While IDS are a valuable component of a defense-in-depth strategy, they often require significant compute power, tend to miss new (previously unknown) threats, run on heavy hardware, may require ...

Installation of fasteners and bushings is a perennial problem for the FRCs and remote detachments, since wet-install failures and installation of bare bushings leads to rapid galvanic corrosion.This program will develop a wet-install approach based on Al-rich primer for galvanic corrosion inhibition on bushings and fasteners installed in aluminum airframes. Electrochemical modeling developed under ...

Ionic Security proposes to design, deploy and demonstrate an enterprise-scale Data Protection Engine and Platform that disrupts the need for traditional perimeter security architectures and end point applications that focus security efforts on networks and access points. Th solution will provide a granular data centric protection and access enforcement engine that encrypts data at scale and preven ...

Union is the leading cohort management platform for commercial incubators and accelerators, such as Techstars, 500 Startups, and Capital Factory. Based on our learnings from our Phase I, our Phase II proposal will adapt the Union platform to the unique requirements of the Air Force SBIR program, providing a best in class tool for managing engagement between DoD and U.S. Federal Government agencies ...
