Cyber threats facing Aircraft Systems and related DoD advanced information technology systems requires cyber infrastructure matching their enormity and complexity, accompanied by Risk Assessment capabilities for understanding intricate hostile attack options, assessing vulnerabilities and facilitating decision-making. This decision making capability should include those related to investment into ...

GrammaTech proposes CyDir, a system for automatically detecting anomalous behavior in avionics and ISR systems. CyDir will automatically diagnose anomalous behavior’s cause and immediately direct a response to maximize mission success by minimizing the effect of the anomalous behavior (and any malware which caused this behavior).CyDir is specifically designed to detect and mitigate maliciou ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to investigate and validate the use of cutting edge Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) to improve signal to clutter ratio (SCR) and improve dynamic range of modern A/D converters (ADC). We will demonstrate high dynamic range (HDR) approaches which will be compatible with existing radar signal and data processing architectures. We will develop a basel ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to survey the most prevalent AAA systems and their characteristics, evaluate signatures of various AAA systems, and determine their salient most likely operating parameters. We plan to model the radar cross section (RCS) and scintillation statistics of most prevalent AAA systems and determine the signal to clutter ratio for various airborne radar system ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of using Inline Physical Security (IPS) hardware between the interface of IoT devices and the internet. The device works at layer 2 and 3 of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model as a traffic controller to prevent malicious network flow reaching the target destination. The IPS works by utilizing open source tools and custom dev ...

The Air Force is interested in leveraging commercial technology with dual-purpose Air Force solutions. Stonewall Defense proposes its scrap metal container tracker as one of these technologies. In response to pervasive theft of collection containers in the metal scrap industry, Stonewall Defense developed a system to track these containers. This system is comprised of an Internet of Things (IoT) b ...

Reservoir Labs will customize R-Scope®, a high performance next generation network threat detection sensor, for the Air Force (AF) to be deployed across multi-domain operations. R-Scope improves network threat detection and response capabilities by providing deep and broad network visibility, on-box analytics, and the ability to enhance additional workflows such as packet/file object analysis a ...

Air Force training operations are uniquely challenging due to the demanding requirements and safety considerations for flight readiness. Training through computer-based exercises and simulators is effective at teaching a wide variety of skills, including flight training. A combination of technological advancements has developed into an unprecedented opportunity for more effective, efficient, inexp ...

- We build VR-based training to align virtual training with real life situations for operational (non-flying) warfighters. - While VR has the potential to benefit every airmen and all service members, we’re focusing on the Security Forces first becaus

During customer discovery as part of AF183-006 - Open Topic for Immersive Technologies - we discovered that Security Forces (SF) end-users have two distinct needs: improved VR hardware integration and SF-specific training content. We are applying for AF191-004 to focus on the niche but mission critical need for content that replicates the conditions for which Security Forces need to operate (conte ...
