ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT F3 Solutions (F3) is a woman owned small business with key personnel, with over a combined 50 years of experience specific to Air Force Environmental Engineering, and has experience providing research and development support to satisfy the overall objectives for blast booth noise reduction - OSHA compliance issue. F3 proposes an innovative approach to reduce employee exposu ...

Evolving demand for robust and accurate multi-physics modeling tools for high performance combustion devices is being driven by increasingly complex design, analysis, and simulation requirements, but existing models and their underlying assumptions need to be rigorously examined in light of their intended Air Force propulsion system applications. The production use of coupled multi-physics module ...

In this proposal, Intelligent Fusion Technology, Inc (IFT) proposes a novel Game-Theoretic Distributed Sensor Management tool to meet the special requirements of the Air Force for RSO detection, Classification and Tracking. The proposed tool contains i) distributed active learning and distributed agent negotiation game to solve the distributed sensor management problem, ii) distributed tracking an ...

ABSTRACT: Traditional methods of gathering radiometrically accurate space situational awareness (SSA) photometry data rely on calibration steps that need 10-12 reference star images to be collected in conjunction with the primary collection. The Air Force needs calibration solutions that reduce these timelines and increase sensor throughput. Our proposed solution follows a successful model of com ...

ABSTRACT: Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) planners need to consider DIME activities and PMESII effects when constructing or selecting a Course of Action (COA) ,and when sharing their thoughts and knowledge with representatives from others. To construct a visualization tool that leads planners to consider non-kinetic effects and enables knowledge sharing of DIME and PMESII factors, the IAI t ...

ABSTRACT: While being backward compatible with Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Operation Systems (OS) and applications, system-level Virtual Machine (VM) only provides a coarse level for current generic compute cloud computation. As a result, current cloud requires a full-blown machine (system) level virtualization in each VM instance. However, many cloud computing requires finer grained resource ...

ABSTRACT: In this proposed effort, we propose a light-weight hypervisor, called SecureVirt for cloud computing. SecureVirt can securely isolate the virtual machines (VMs) concurrently running on the same hardware resources. SecureVirt consists of two components, TinyHype and virtual machine manager. TinyHype performs the most fundamental functions and virtual machine manager emulates I/O devices ...

ABSTRACT: Patch management is one of the main enabling technologies in maintaining a high degree of security for IT systems. Often the patch requires a higher level of privilege to apply, making the patching operation itself a potential target of exploitation. The update or patch might require a reboot or perceivable system downtime, which becomes an issue for level 1 or 2 mission assurance cat ...

ABSTRACT: The proposed IMPACT system provides an automated and adaptive network planning capability that processes the network capacity and communication factors provided by the airborne gateway/relays network in conjunction with resource requirements of a new mission (achieved by mission mapping) and optimally performs flow control, scheduling and allocation of communication resources for specif ...

ABSTRACT: The tracking of identities, online fingerprints, trends, and interests on the web is widespread due in part to the multi-billion dollar online advertising industry. This practice and the resulting technology has significant privacy, intellectual property, and national security implications. Current approaches such as Tor,"private browsing,"and proxies only address parts of the problem ...
