To provide effective communication and coordination training to Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) crewmembers, we propose a prototype adaptive training communication environment using our T-BORG simulation and integration framework to incorporate new and pre-existing intelligent agents and synthetic teammates at various levels of fidelity. The problem addressed is that simultaneous monitoring of mu ...

Supply chain threats have invalidated the assumption that the adversary has no reasonable avenue of attack even if the software protections are structured properly and augmented with secure hardware. In today"s cyber-attack environment, one must assume that a subset of systems are or will be eventually compromised. Luna proposes a fault tolerance, federated cloud computing architecture supportin ...

The Active-Defense Resilient Mission-Oriented (ARMOR) Secure cloud platform provides significant competitive advantages in the defense against vulnerabilities and threats in distributed and cloud computing infrastructures. It achieves this by endowing a traditional infrastructure with a collaborative security layer of active transparent defense and control, a cloud"immune system"which transparen ...

Perimeter and passive cyber defenses must be complemented with an active defense mechanism to elevate the risks, or costs, a potential attacker must face. The effectiveness of an active defense mechanism is ultimately limited by its ability to detect threats fast, accurately, and reliably. For this Phase I project, we propose to determine the feasibility of creating an active defense solution base ...

ABSTRACT: This project will investigate the feasibility of converting carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into liquid hydrocarbon fuel using solar energy and the same thermodynamic principles that enable biological photosynthesis; however, existing industrial technologies and processes will be integrated and substituted for biological processes. The significance of the artificial photosynthesis proces ...

ABSTRACT: Systems that use sensors to capture the state of the equipment will generate a large quantity of data over time. The ability to monitor this sensor data and apply that information to predict maintenance issues would increase the value of this data. The system being designed will map the sensor data to the maintenance records for the system. Using the changes in the sensors leading up to ...

ABSTRACT: TechFlow Scientific, a division of TechFlow Inc., is pleased to propose a hardware-accelerated computational electromagnetic software program in response to the Air Force"s SBIR topic AF112-025. Recognizing the need for an accurate, quick running software program for calculating electromagnetic fields and potential hazards to humans, we present our approach to developing a hybrid elect ...

ABSTRACT: D-Tech is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the SBIR solicitation under topic AF112-030 titled"Applying Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to non SOAP Protocols". D-Tech will develop a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility and flexibility of user authentication and authorization for web applications, implementing an OpenID Identity Provider as a proxy to integr ...

ABSTRACT: Investigate the use of advanced network protocol processing, algorithms and software to monitor and reconstruct network packets for the purpose of data loss prevention (DLP). Such computer network traffic may be in use by an insider threat communicating sensitive information over a covert channel using network steganography or inadvertently using overt network protocols. The main objec ...

ABSTRACT: Enterprise wide data exfiltration will be prevented by designing and implementing a method to protect files based on logical group membership. Anyone outside that group without the group key(s) will be unable to decrypt the data. Localized Encryption Groups (LEG) will provide an automated approach to ensure confidentiality and tracking of data files early in their creation, throughout p ...
