Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) is becoming ubiquitous in decision-making processes. In signals intelligence (SIGINT), AI based classifiers are used to identify and characterize signals. As AI methods have become more prevalent, so have the risks due to the growth of Adversarial Attacks (AAs). Therefore, R-DEX Systems proposes Blue Jay, an innovative processing suite for the valid ...

Perceptive Innovations, Inc. (PI2) and Photonis Defense, Inc., are pleased to offer to the U.S. Army this proposed solution for a digital Visor Projected Night Vision Goggle (VPNVG) sensor, based on the existing Photonis EBNocturn intensified digital CMOS low-light VIS/NIR sensor, for direct integration with the ongoing VPHMD Phase II SBIR with Intellisense. We propose a pragmatic Phase I research ...

CMF training is inherently complex.  The abundance of data produced during cyber training exercises poses challenges and opportunities.  The rapid rate of change in both CMF procedures and big data analytics technology necessitates studying CMF workflow, uncovering gaps in the current tool set, and identifying technologies to leverage. The first step during phase I is to determine what capabilit ...

Achieving and maintaining cyberspace superiority is predicated on enabling the military’s most valuable assets its people to gain advantages in cyberspace. This requires the maintenance and enhancement of readiness through realistic, high fidelity training. Key to this is the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE), which is intended to serve as an on-demand, self-service enterprise traini ...

Fibertek is pleased to submit this SBIR Phase I proposal to develop a low-SWaP, low-cost, entanglement-based quantum-application-enabling CubeSat payload for high-speed, secure communication between satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).  In this proposed work, we will develop and validate an entangled photon source suitable for integration into Fibertek’s existing and tested space-qualified Cube ...

Deployment of sensitive electronic systems requires the assurance that intellectual property and critical security parameters are protected even when the system falls beyond the control of authorized users. FPGAs enable deployment of low-SWaP systems without the exorbitant costs and schedules of ASIC development, while improving their security by utilizing zeroization to cleanse all configuration ...

Delivery of equipment and material by airdrop is an established part of warfighter support. Because of the limited cross range flexibility of these delivery parachutes, even when guided, the airdrop platform is itself at risk provides a cue to the existence of a supported unit.  It would be desirable to reduce the signature of a delivery event by reducing the probability of the detection of the d ...

Echo Ridge proposes to improve our existing RF environment emulator product (DYnamic Spectrum Environment emulator (DYSE)) to provide radio sniffer and baseband signal analysis, playback and visualization capability.  DYSE models the wireless channel including path loss, latency, Doppler, fading and multi-ray multipath.  DYSE implements a virtual RF environment through FPGA-based digital channel ...

Continuous-time digital signal processing (CT-DSP) is a promising approach for high-speed, low size-weight-and-power (SWaP) sensor signal processing in the next generation of missiles and other space- and power-constrained environments.  The idea behind CT-DSP, in comparison to traditional DSP approaches, is that the digitized signal is processed without sampling; that is, the signal is processed ...

Modern AiTR approaches can be significantly improved by understanding how DoD training doctrine can be incorporated into the AiTR problem.  DoD training enables persons with limited a priori knowledge of different military actions to reliably classify potential threats based on some simple rules about the relationships between entity components (e.g., wheels, wings, rotors, windows). Most modern ...
