This effort is based on the outcome of a successful Phase I project that demonstrated the feasibility of generating logic pattern-based, OS-platform-independent, signatures for malicious program logic and detecting its presence within much larger binary modules. The detection (and localization) of a logic-based signature within a binary executable represents a significant advancement in automated ...

2LR proposes to develop a malicious source code scanner that can flag sections of potentially `bad' source code that is vulnerable to exploitation or may contain latent malicious content. This effort will evaluate and compare current methods for detecting malicious code with a novel method based on code-logic signature analysis and discrimination. It will develop pattern classes that are associa ...

3D Research Corporation and the University of Alabama in Huntsville have teamed to offer advanced high-energy gel propellants for exoatmospheric interceptors. High energy gelled propellants are required to improve the performance envelopes of future MDA missile interceptors. We will theoretically investigate a number of gelled fuel-additive combinations to determine the best potential performers ...

AEgis Technologies Group, Inc. is pleased to present this proposal for a Phase I SBIR entitled, "Enhanced Real-Time Components for HWIL Ladar Scene Generation". This Phase I effort is focused on the development of three key components of a real-time HWIL LADAR projector including the Data Combiner, Integrated Electro-optic Modulator, and High-speed Arbitrary waveform generator. AEgis has signific ...

Aero Thermo Technology, Inc., and our partner ITT, propose a focused research effort to address key lethality aspects for miniaturized, low weight kill vehicles in support of the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) Program. Lethality is a critical issue for BMD concepts that employ small, low mass kill vehicles. Kill Vehicle (KV) concepts and designs are being developed by MKV that have significantly le ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

The goal of this proposal is find novel combinations of approved drugs for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with filoviruses. Ebola and Marburg viruses, the only filoviruses, cause an acute hemorrhagic fever syndrome which has a high mortality rate and poses a significant bio-terrorism threat. There are currently no therapeutic agents available to treat filovirus infections and the de ...

Improvements to the GMD EKV on-board INS includes augmentation of the IMU with GPS aiding. Uncorrected IMU errors and vehicle attitude errors impact the total EKV pointing error. The application of emerging low-cost MEMS based sensors creates new opportunities to include GPS aiding without sacrificing mass, volume and cost of the current EKV INS. The Archangel approach builds upon the existing ...

The current kill vehicle design for the Kinetic Energy Interceptor utilizes a hypergolic liquid fueled DACS. Current Navy regulations prohibit the use of hypergolic propellants aboard ships. Systems for mitigating a hypergolic propellant leak are required prior to gaining approval for sea-basing of these missiles as part of the GMD system. The mitigation must be performed in a way that supports ...

The current kill vehicle design for the Kinetic Energy Interceptor utilizes a hypergolic liquid fueled DACS. Current Navy regulations prohibit the use of hypergolic propellants aboard ships. One of the requirements that must be addressed prior to gaining approval for sea-basing of these missiles as part of the GMD system is monitoring for propellant leakage. This monitoring must be performed in ...
