When engaging targets at long distance, time matters: enemies may only be visible for a few seconds at a time and snipers need the ability to deliver accurate, lethal fire in those fleeting seconds. The LA-24/PEQ Precision Aiming Laser (PAL) system is a game changing piece of technology that runs the industry-leading Applied Ballistics (AB) solver directly onboard, providing a sniper with a firing ...

Asymmetric proposes to develop software and firmware to optimize data exfil throughout Whisper devices. This includes making the Whisper system have additional, tuneable capabilities to increase LPI/LPD characteristics. The current methods utilized by Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel to maintain secure, covert and reliable data transmission in hostile environments is difficult and mission ...

Increasing the energy of the electron beam striking an X-ray target can lead to higher electron to X-ray conversion efficiency. For a given electron beam energy, the conversion efficiency can be enhanced through various methods. Optimizing the electron beam parameters, such as beam current, pulse width, and repetition rate, can also improve the conversion efficiency. Choice of the X-ray target mat ...

Narratives organize and motivate social networks, enabling them to process and interpret complex events and take individual and collective action in response. However, while past work on narrative extraction and analysis provides useful ‘snapshots’ of a narrative at a given point in time, it generally fails to 1) distinguish over-arching, foundational narratives from concrete, focal events tha ...

Modern weapon systems and their testing infrastructure rely on the use of open-source software. Open source is provided “AS IS”' without guarantees. Code is often vulnerable with hard-to-mitigate attack surfaces. Tenet3, LLC will address this problem with an innovative machine learning-based approach for vulnerability detection as part of the CI/CD process. The solution is based on Explainable ...

In this Phase II effort, Cryptic Vector (CV) leverages our successful Phase I feasibility study of the CV LPD Chaotic Sequence Spread-Spectrum (CSSS) waveform and notional prototype SDR design to produce a Technical Readiness Level 6+ prototype system. The system implements terrestrial and satellite communications links to support beyond line-of-sight operation. Cryptic Vector’s LPD CSSS wavefor ...

Ultralight Industries Corporation, working with MIT Lincoln Laboratory proposes to assess the feasibility of an adaptable, scalable and efficient digital phased array that allows intelligent simultaneous RF multitasking and rapid iteration of core and tenant capabilities defined in software at the speed of relevance. Through this project, we will assess what is in the art of the possible for a low ...

The Whisper Next Gen WiGig project plans to evaluate optimization opportunities within the IEEE WiGig (60 GHz) standard for use cases as a potential low size, weight, and power tactical ultra-secure communications capability for Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It has the potential to be a highly secure, covert and reliable data transmission link for soldiers or indigenous allies in hostile env ...

The demand for rechargeable energy storage systems with greater specific energy and improved power density continues to increase to support current and next generation soldier-assisting electronics and unmanned aerial, underwater, and ground vehicles (UAVs, UUVs, UGVs). Insufficient electrical power and energy can directly impede military missions by inhibiting infantry and vehicle performance, sa ...
