The Graph Matching and Metrics Intrusion Detection System (GMIDS) is a novel approach to detecting insider and coordinated insider-outsider threats. GMIDS is based on our proven algorithms for graph-based pattern matching, social network analysis, linkanalysis, and statistical pattern recognition. GMIDS performs data fusion on information from dense sensor networks inside and outside the secured ...

The primary goal for this work will be to develop models and behaviors for entities within a simulation environment, specifically in the area of unmanned systems, with a user interface that allows for the creation of unique individual and team behaviorsfor insertion into a military and Homeland Defense simulation scenario. As they become available, OneSAF (Semi-Automated Forces) variants (OTB and ...

Agave BioSystems has been highly successful in accomplishing the Phase I objectives. In this Phase II proposal, Agave BioSystems will build upon the results generated in the Phase I to isolate additional shikimate pathway genes. We will continue to usestate-of-the-art-bioinformatics computational analysis to assist in identifying genes in this pathway. We will also continue our use of both gene ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a ceramic hydrogen fuel appliance (CHFA) using ceramic microreactor modules (CMMs) using a low-cost, net-shape manufacturing process, and a new material, that was developed in the Phase I project. The new material developed was demonstrated to have excellent capability for cost-effective microfabri ...

Phase I research demonstrated that toughness of 8 MPa.m1/2 is attainable in advanced SiC using the SEPB technique, as compared with 2.5 MPa.m1/2 for conventional SiC. The Phase I work is currently on schedule in order to meet the objective of 5.5MPa.m1/2 toughness at a hardness of at least 24 GPa. SiC developed in Phase II work will have a hardness exceeding 28 GPa at a toughness greater than 7 ...

Conformal antennas for VHF/UHF have multiple uses, but the Phase I effort by Sciperio was focused on the design of a SLICE band omni-directional UHF antenna for integration within a soldiers helmet. The Phase I results for this conformal concept wereproof of the feasibility of designing an antenna capable of being integrated within or onto the surface of a Kevlar helmet. The antenna consists of ...

Modern Army vehicles require durable, reliable, modular and lightweight structures for better maneuverability and performance. Use of advanced composite materials with smart structural concepts offer the potential to meet these requirements. Design of suchstructures requires sophisticated analysis tools that are capable of predicting deformation and stresses accurately. In Phase I of the contract, ...

Phase II will focus on the design and development of a prototype needle-free injection system for administering BChE enzyme into humans to provide protection against chemical warfare agents. The Phase I proof-of-concept demonstrated the accelerateddelivery of BChE into the circulatory system using needle-free injection. The second phase of this project will consist of the following three tasks: ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to continue the scale up of luminescent Si nanocrystal production using the continuous flow reactor developed during the Phase I period where the main objective of the Phase I proposal of converting a cumbersome batch process into an efficient continuous one was accomplished. This new continuous flow reactor will serve as an enabli ...

Electrokinetic based technology is beginning to emerge as an economical choice to solve a number of engineering and remediation challenges within both military and civilian populations. Lynntech has been at the forefront of electrokinetic innovation forseveral years. During the Phase I research effort Lynntech collaborated with the Army Corp of Engineers and APS Materials Inc., to develop a 2nd ...
