The Expedition Technology team proposes, the Object-based Satellite Characterization, Analysis, and Reporting (OSCAR) program to addresses the goals of providing a robust framework for near real-time processing of a broad and growing set of sensor data for space situational awareness, and object characterization. We will integrate proven modern algorithms for characterization and fingerprinting in ...

Accurate predictive and diagnostic meteorological tools serve a critical role in many military, civilian, and home defense applications. The micro-scale Three Dimensional Wind Field (3DWF) is a wind diagnostic model based primarily on the conservation of mass. Models like 3DWF meet an operational need by providing accurate diagnostics of the wind field in an urban or complex terrain environment an ...

This research seeks synergy between RF (SAR) and optical (SAL) synthetic aperture imaging, such that advantages can be identified to share a common processor for both functions on a tactical SWaP-constrained ISR platform. Traditionally, these very different functions would be implemented as completely independent and isolated stove pipe payloads. However, future tactical ISR platforms must be smal ...

Graf Research will research and develop optimal strategies for cloud-based trust assessment. We anticipate creating not only a novel cloud architecture that can facilitate the use of many of the DARPA-sponsored custom microelectronics trust software tools but also a unique, cloud-hosted software product OpTrust-C which will devise optimal strategies for the proper implementation of defensive mea ...

ALAE proposes to develop a reconfigurable test adapter (RTA) that adapts differences between existing automated test equipment/ systems (ATE/ ATS) to ensure efficient, cost-effective test program set (TPS) transportability. Wiring from core versatile depot automated test station (VDATS) instrumentation will be routed to the RTA. Various standard unit under test (UUT) interfaces will be explored an ...

Vlabs will define an architecture for a big data cybersecurity solution that will provide a real-time, intuitive and actionable analytics for enhanced situational awareness and rapid response. The system will facilitate automation of key security decisions with a goal to accelerate the attack detection time of highly resourceful adversaries. The system will ingest and analyze various data types an ...

Traditional interferometry techniques for direction finding require a collection of antennas to uniquely determine angle of arrival. Extending this technique to wide bandwidths often requires a "farm" of apertures and many receivers requiring a large amount of real estate. On airborne platforms, where size and weight are crucial, a more compact, innovative solution that reduces SWAP is thus desira ...

Decisive Analytics Corporations (DAC) Air to Ground Identification Translation for Active Target Environments (AGITATE) will allow the U. S. Air Force (USAF) to directly translate target information obtained by Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaiss

Barron Associates proposes development of the Intelligent and Safe Technology for Air-to-Air Refueling (ISTAAR) technology to safely and efficiently conduct air-to-air refueling operations with UAS assets. ISTAAR combines advanced sensor systems and proce

ATA proposes to develop an optical communications terminal with low SWaP-C that enables high data rate communications between GPS satellites. Our proposed Laser Communications Crosslink (LaserComXL) terminal integrates advanced ATA line-of-sight stabilization, tracking and pointing technologies with space-qualified laser and detector technologies into a compact package with multiple optical heads ...
