Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS), in collaboration with Colorado State University (CSU) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), proposes a second (or sequential) Phase II of the Byte-Taint Resonance Imaging (ByteRI) STTR effort. This iteration of the ByteRI program will expand upon the binary analysis and program behavior analysis concepts identified in the original effort and ...

The C language has traditionally emphasized a program’s runtime performance, achieved by leaving low-level memory management to the programmer. Countless program crashes, hangs, and security vulnerabilities have been attributed to uninformed or malicious use of this freedom. C’s extension C++ provides better programming abstractions but insists on backward compatibility with C and thus suffers ...

Cryogenic wiring is a critical component for quantum computers, superconducting supercomputers, transition-edge sensors, microwave kinetic inductance detectors, and a wide range of other applications. Quantum computing has risen to prominence as a key use for cryogenic wiring, given its profound national security implications and potential for fundamental transformation of industries ranging from ...

Obscurant devices allow warfighters to quickly deploy short-duration aerosol clouds that can break line-of-sight contact with threat forces or prevent detection by adversary sensors. They are critical for operational concealment, enhancing both the safety and performance of U.S. and allied forces. Very recently DARPA started multiple teams on the development of next-generation obscurant systems th ...

Adversaries are rapidly developing, testing, and fielding advanced weapons, like the Hyper Velocity Glide Vehicle (HVGV), that require continual assessment of their impact on the readiness and competence of our US military defenses.  Assessment of performance of defensive systems requires first accurate computer modeling of the advanced threats from intelligence data, and second simulation analys ...

Systems Visions LLC (dba SYVI) and its partner Auburn University (AU) propose "Silver-Aluminum-Niobium Tri-conductor Architecture (SANTA) based connectorized high density temperature agnostic microwave cables for cryogenic applications”, an effort to develop a high-density cabling solution for cryogenic high performance and quantum computing applications. The cables will leverage a unique tri-co ...

High-density cryogenic wiring is a critical component for gate-based quantum computers, quantum annealing devices, superconducting supercomputers, transition edge sensors, Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, nanowire single photon detectors, and a wide range of other applications. Quantum computers will be as important to the next hundred years of technology as the internet, integrated circuit ...

This effort will develop a long-term stable acoustic sound velocity sensor with a small form factor, on a thin diameter format to enable simultaneous measurement of sound velocity profiles along an ocean column. The work will develop 0.2 to 2 GHz ultrasonic transducers that can be used to transmit and receive pulses along a water gap. The gaps are large enough to enable easy access to surrounding ...

Novelty is a major issue in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions since most SoTA algorithms assume a closed set of finite object categories and will not adapt to novel environments. For high-value target (HVT) tracking, the current algorithms assume every object we intend to track is within the finite object categories and will either misclassify or ignore objects within n ...

Team AIS proposes Phase II of MAXWELL, an applied research and development effort to extend the proof-of-concept capabilities from MAXWELL Phase I. The overall goal of MAXWELL is to create a capability to semi-automatically annotate models with semantic information, including model behavior and components, to streamline scenario composition and solve analytical problems. MAXWELL Phase I developed ...
