United States Department of Defense personnel make direct contact with unfamiliar and potentially harmful plants, insects, arachnids, and reptiles (i.e. biothreats), impairing personnel readiness and mission effectiveness. These threats endanger personnel, disrupt operations and destabilize ecosystems around the world, often requiring expensive remediation. Currently the DoD employs specialized fi ...

Intelligence analysts, scientists, journalists, and other knowledge workers often find themselves confronted with large, diverse collections of archived data whose content is unknown or only vaguely described. These users require intuitive tools to explo...

This SBIR proposal is for development of a second generation Spacecraft Identification Device (a.k.a. sticker) for the Space Object Automated Reporting System (SOARS).SOARS combines space-object beacons, automated, low-cost, ground collecti...

This proposal aims to provide a general framework for cross-layer instrumentation of mobile applications for Android platforms. Our approach uses static and dynamic binary analysis to identify known functional code blocks and libraries in mobile applicat...

As the human population grows, it is critical to decrease consumption materials from the planet and its ecosphere. The world adds 70 million people annually. The UN expects the population to grow to over 9 billion 2050. Climate change, soil degradation, ...

SynaptiCAD proposes to create a secure information exchange platform based on an existing, proven blockchain codebase (bitshares). The blockchain, which already provides a completely secure method for exchanging cryptocurrencies, can be extended to any transactional or communications system. A feature in the current bitshares toolkit to write memos, to go with transactions, will be enhanced to pro ...

In this proposed effort Mosaic ATM will study two novel techniques to generate explanations of machine learning model results for use in advanced automation-human interaction. The first technique is Explainable Principal Components Analysis, and t...

We propose a system called Secure Messaging Platform as a Service (SMPaaS).It provides a distributed network capability for secure real-time communication and collaboration of documents. SMPaaS will track meta-data of message communication operations, showing who modified what in an unmodifiable blockchain ledger. Traditional methods are centralized, unencrypted, expensive, inefficient, brittle an ...

The proposed project seeks to develop an end-to-end data driven system to estimate the effects of historical and forecast the effects of future deterrent courses of action (COAs) against Gray Zone challengers. US conventional military power regularly det...

The objective of this effort is to develop the capability to produce low-cost high-performance, lightweight composite cryogenic propellant tanks for use on expendable and reusable space access vehicles and hypersonic aircraft. GTL took a major step towards this capability in a previous effort that demonstrated that it was possible to fabricate ultra-thin BHL composite propellant tanks (small-scal ...
