Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. will develop innovative cognitive software algorithms and techniques for electronic warfare in order to counter highly agile radar emitters. We will define and develop a concept for cognitive Software Algorithms EW techniques for identifying and countering agile threat emitters. We will also develop prototype signal sets that emulate threat emitters. We will dem ...

HyPerComps effort involves the development and verification of exact-physics, computational electromagnetics (CEM) modeling and simulation (M&S) software (SW) capable of accounting for both the submarine masts and the surrounding ocean at the EM wavelengths of interest. The effort will generate synthetic data for sensor algorithms that use machine learning (ML) and other artificial intelligence (A ...

The US Navy is moving towards a Single Sortie Detect to Engage (SSDTE) paradigm to implement in-stride minehunting and mine prosecution. Integrating in-stride Mine Search and Mine Prosecution functions is a key requirement to achieve the SSDTE paradigm. Mine Target Reacquisition between the mine search operations and mine prosecution phases poses a particular challenge, as planned mine prosecution ...

As the complexity of threats and emerging warfare capabilities increase, so do the number of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and the corresponding training regimes. Instructors are increasingly in need of automated tools to enable training that scales with complexity. Aptima, Inc., and our partners, Aviation Systems Engineering Company, Inc. (ASEC) and the University of Southern Califor ...

With the proliferation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in all aspects of the service comes the proportional increase in efforts of enemies to attack these systems through the process of exploitation of UAS vulnerabilities, subversion or infection of the target platform, with subsequent loss of resources and/or data. Consequences of these losses will be significant in any given tactical scenario ...

This proposal details SLAIN MLS, a highly-adaptive, Multi-Level Security (MLS) data exchange approach, with expansive support of multiple security postures, multiple data formats and multiple data protocols. SLAIN MLS is based on Progeny’s Universal Gateway (UGW) and the Cross Domain Enclave Guard Solution that is a key component in the submarine tactical network. The UGW was developed for Offic ...

Miniature munitions fuzes comprising microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors packaged with energetic materials are sought for improving fuze reliability, volume, and cost. For some munitions, MEMS fuses may reduce unexploded ordnance rates by an order of magnitude and provide space for extra propellant or explosive to increase range or effect. Creare proposes to develop a wafer-level assembl ...

Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) information is ubiquitous and often taken for granted. From Joint Direct Attack Munitions to Global Positioning System (GPS) assisted Tomahawk to GPS flight navigation, virtually all that we do on the battlespace needs and requires GPS. But this paradigm for ubiquitous PNT is under threat. The potential foes of the US recognize that jamming, spoofing and othe ...

The capability to plan for, locate and attack time-critical and time-sensitive targets in a multi-weapon engagement scenario is needed. Ideally, this capability would include the ability to conduct real-time dynamic planning and re-planning, differentiate between different target types, optimize selected resources and weapons to minimize kill chain timelines, and enhance targeting accuracy to elim ...

The Phase II Technical objective will begin with further refinement and testing of the HPM mask retrofit kit based on the findings in Phase I. In Phase II, the HPM oxygen mask retrofit kit will mature into a complete solution with the objective to eliminate mask pain and poor fit, resulting in a marked improvement in pilot mask discipline. In phase I, pilots were interviewed to research the specif ...
