The Defense Advance Research Project Authority (DARPA) is seeking a capability to produce 500 Flying Missile Rails (FMRs) a month. Providing such a capability is challenging because one must simultaneously come up with a design for a FMR that meets mission requirements while being able to be mass produced. The North American Wave Engine Corporation (NAWEC) can provide a solution that will meet the ...

Medical Ultra Sound (US) technology, and associated hardware, software, algorithms, and systems have seen great development over the last decade, and field portable US transducer and imaging systems are readily available. However, key shortcomings remain that limit their application: 1) Need for operator control of wand pose, 2) Need for human expert interpretation of resulting US images, 3) Large ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition that affects close to 30 million Americans. To overcome patient non-compliance and discomfort associated with current OSA treatments, we have developed SONOSA, a wearable device that can remotely diagnose, monitor, and treat OSA using ultrasound alone. As a diagnostic device, SONOSA can eliminate the expensive, in-hospital equipment requ ...

Malicious modifications of hardware pose major concern in terms of reliable and trusted field operation of integrated circuits. To ensure security and trust of micro-chips, it is essential to develop efficient, low-cost techniques for detection of such tampering events. Conventional structural/functional testing, coverage metrics, and test generation approaches cannot be readily applied to identif ...

Memory corruption vulnerabilities are the root cause of many modern attacks. Numerous defenses have mainly focused on mitigating control-data attacks, leaving modern systems and programs vulnerable to non-control-data (or data-oriented) attacks. Recently, the full power of non-control-data attacks has been revealed. A new technique called data-flow stitching was developed to systematically constru ...

Current seL4 ecosystem is centered on a wiki and github that are maintained by NICTA and Data61 (a commercial spin-off organization of NICTA). Many branches and forks of the seL4 code base that are readily publicly accessible but often orphaned and out dated. Additionally, the major training and education efforts are mainly offered and managed by Data61. However, due to geographical distance from ...

AcuSoft proposes to develop a set of HLA Development Tools to assist simulation software developers in their efforts to implement the HLA. The HLA Development Tools will support the Federation Execution and Development Process (FEDEP) and present an approach to solving the problems associated with the HLA's flexible FOM data definitions. A set of data visualization tools, such as a 2D Plan View ...

AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a Synthetic Environment RTI (SE-RTI). The SEDRIS initiative has established a new programming paradigm that provides lossless transmission of synthetic environment objects. The HLA has been designed to support interoperability and reuse of DoD simulations, and SEDRIS is a major component of HLA. Currently, the SEDRIS data model, APIs and format are prima ...

AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a database conversion tool based on the Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) to maximize the reusability and interchangeability of existing and future USSOCOM database. In the proposed PHASE I effort, we will investigate SEDRIS technology and develop a functioning prototype tools to demonstrate the ability to imp ...
