Award Data

In its 1999 SBIR solicitation, DARPA requested ideas for a Clandestine UAQ (CUAV) that could covertly deliver small packages in advance of military operations. Aurora Flight Sciences was awarded a Phase I contract in May 2000. During Phase I Aurora has(1) performed a range of trade studies and selected a unique vertical takeoff and landing UAV configuration, (2) developed optical guidance strateg ...

Ensuring U.S. technological superiority over potential adversaries through the use of emerging technologies to improve warfighter lethality, survivability, and mobility is central in the effort to maintain effective fighting forces.Conventional medium caliber projectiles fall short of desired effectiveness due to many physical and environmental factors such as aiming inaccuracy, component manufact ...

Reliable Software Technologies proposes to investigate the feasibilityof integrating its successful intrusion detection technology with itstechnology for wrapping the Microsoft Windows components that executeJavaScript, VBScript, and other scripting languages. We also propose toinvestigate the feasibility of generating virtual execution traces using uniquefeatures of the Microsoft scripting archi ...

Sonar performance is characterized by its ability to distinguish intended targetsfrom background noise. Background noise includes both ambient noise in the oceanand interference from non-target ships. Non-target ships present moving noisesources which are not adequately suppressed by existing techniques. This projectwill estimate the extent two existing technologies can suppress moving noise so ...

The objective of this proposal is to investigate a set of software tools that aid researchers (i.e. scientists, inventors, designers, planners, or investors) in solving complex problems over large sets of data. The DiscoveryToolsTM system will provide acustomer-centered approach to computer automation. The customer (i.e. researcher) encodes problem-solving strategies through an easy-to-use graph ...

Under a Phase I SBIR Contract, D-STAR Engineering had defined a V/STOL Unmanned AerialVehicle system that can have a hybrid electric operation with a diesel engine, an electric motorand schemes for combining the two.The most critical technology that needs development for the UAV is a compact, light-weight, fuelefficient engine that can use military logistics fuels such as JP-8 / Diesel.This Phase ...

This project proposes to transform studied brain wave patterns into experientialcriteria for interpretation and understanding of human interactions with and bycomputer systems. The study aims to simulate the steps of interpreting pre-existing brain wave patterns, for various AI techniques to interpret and store maps of experience.Interpretation will be made by human monitors to facilitate the tra ...

Lightel invented a network architecture that maps the computing model consisting of processes, tasks, threads, sockets and demons with the seven-layer communication protocol model and the wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) fiber based transport model.These designs create the traffic performance, connection characteristics and the network intelligence required to enable application layer Quality ...
