The goal of this project is to determine the feasibility of developing a ground station network capable of delivering real time space weather data to end users. Specifically, the proposed works seek to assess existing and future communications requirements for providing better than 15 minute latency (threshold objective) for transfer of data from NOAA space weather assets to the ground for distrib ...

GIRD Systems leverages its extensive experience with interference cancellation systems, particularly for military SATCOM (UFO and MUOS), to propose two fundamental architectures for mitigating the wireless mobile uplink interference expected once spectrum sharing in the 1695-1710 MHz band begins. GIRD's ADEPT digital solution leverages the latest advances in digital technology to develop algorithm ...

This work advances the state-of-the-art in high-speed diagnostics for the characterization of fireballs, hot gases, and aerosols released by explosives detonation.The proposed advancement is the development of an integrated optical sensor suite, selected from technologies which are already in development in the portfolio of the proposers.The sensor suite will include PIV, PLIF, and LIBS instrument ...

Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined

Email is one of the most prevalent and critical forms of digital communication in use today. Ironically, it is also one of the least secure. Most email systems provide no means to authenticate the sender of a message, and is hence easily and commonly forged or spoofed, often used to penetrate networks via phishing attacks. Additionally, most email systems provide no means to ensure privacy or conf ...

STANDARD MONTE CARLO AND FN METHODS FOR RADIATION TRANSPORT WILL BE USED TO STUDY A NEWLY PROPOSED SHIELD CONFIGURATION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PARALLEL OR SLIGHTLY DIVERING GAMA RAY BEAMS IN A SPACE (NON-SCATTTERING) ENVIRONMENT. THE NEW CONFIGURATION EMPLOYS LAYERED SHIELDS, WITH CONSIDERABLE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE LAYERS, TO SHADOW THE TARGET, OF THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE DIRECTION OF INCIDENCE IS ...
