New missile materials are needed to expand the capability of current air-to-ground missile systems. This expansion of capability dictates the development of lighter weight materials that are capable of short duration exposures to temperatures as high as

This work develops Distributed Information Assurance (DIA) system based on the distributed data mining technology. The key capabilities are: ++Multi-agent architecture linking multiple, heterogeneous network-sensors to perform distributed and decentralized analysis of the data, supporting local management of the policy-based control for different sensors. ++Collection of distributed data mining a ...

A-Tech Corporation, d.b.a. Applied Technology Associates (ATA), is innovating the design and mechanizations of space gimbals and their electronics and pointing controls. This new paradigm for a gimbal design is denoted the Next Generation Gimbal (NGG) and yields a gimbal system that is lighter, uses less power, and exhibits better performance. The technology innovations that will be exploited in c ...

Proposed Missile Defense Agency (MDA) systems, such as the Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS), require high precision gyroscopes for high-resolution Line of Sight (LOS) stabilization, inertial attitude knowledge (IAK), and other high accuracy, space-based acquisition, pointing and tracking (APT) systems. To achieve these mission objectives, MDA is very interested in the development of c ...

Many fast steering mirrors (FSM) have been developed over the years, but there has never been one specifically designed for long-term operation in a high radiation, cryogenic space environment. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA), to support the continuing development of the Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS), is seeking the development of this mirror to support future high-resolution line ...

Nowadays missile threats, specifically coordinated attacks involving multiple missiles, have become increasingly challenging. It is hard to fast and effectively allocate the rich and varied U.S. defense capabilities to negate the aforementioned missile threats. There is a need for an integrated system for battle managers, fire control and operators to effectively manage the U.S. missile defense ca ...
