NIST developed risk management framework and guidelines that assist agencies to implement integrated, organization‐wide programs to manage information security risk, and further developed Cloud Security Architecture Tool (CSAT) to facilitate in this matter. However, NIST’s CSAT needs further improvement and implementation of new functions such that it can be commercialized as an Enterprise‐g ...

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) provides an elite undergraduate educational program that integrates academic, military, and athletic programs to develop leaders of character, motivated to lead the Air Force in service to our nation. By the time cadets graduate and are commissioned as second lieutenants they are expected to acquire a combination of knowledge, skills, and responsibilitie ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal will design and develop high performance, energy efficient ion-exchange nanofiber-based paint overspray pocket air filter to capture hexavalent chromate particulate matter and paint shop dust created during sanding, grinding, and aircraft prep operation present in air. ion exchanging polymer will be electrospun to produce high surface area nanofiber and combined with lay ...

Third Dimension Technologies will perform design of a 45-deg x 45-deg full parallax Field of Light Display (FoLD) system in Phase I, and will also during Phase I build a simple 3 x 3array proof of concept FoLD system. A FoLD display provides full parallax 3D viewing without glasses or headgear, just as if the viewer was looking through a window. The Phase I design will include an assessment of spa ...

Pressure-gain combustion systems such as an RDE allow for increased thermodynamic efficiency. In a gas-generator or staged combustion system, an RDE would allow for reduced pump size, and an increase in efficiency. For the past decade GTL has been developing novel propulsion modeling methods and hardware. In this effort, the application of an RDE along with a novel complimentary alternative will b ...

Differentiating from conventional cybersecurity approaches, the Physical-Cyber System penetration test, PCS-PenTest, evaluates physical side-channel attacks where RF energy is injected into the system and received on unintended antennas, transduced by accidental RF receivers, and causes abnormal system operation and/or state changes.Finding these vulnerabilities is challenging.Given that the poten ...

Branch Technology has developed a revolutionary method of large-scale Freeform 3D-Printing for construction called Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB) that brings unprecedented design freedom, resource stewardship, and manufacturing efficiency to the construction arena. By combining prefabrication and additive manufacturing, C-FAB will enable cost and time savings for Air Force end-users while also allow ...

The United States Air Force at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) has identified a need for long-term health monitoring software utilizing blade tip timing. This software will provide multiple benefits, including the potential to minimize $500,000 in time-based maintenance costs experienced by the Engine Test Facility at AEDC, improve maintenance and analyst personnel productivity, and ...

Engine testing requires extensive time for manual data reduction and analysis, adding several months to the end of the test, increasing test costs and impacting the overall development schedule.Commercial industry has adopted automated data reduction and analysis techniques, which has led to reduced engine development cycle times, improved test efficiency, and reduced development costs.Adopting co ...

To respond to ever-evolving enemy tactics, realistic, effective training is needed in the operational environment. The Army has, and is currently developing, numerous computer-based resources to support scenario-based training at the point of need. To support the personnel who use these training systems, a content management system is needed. Further, recommendations for training, and adaptively c ...
