Multi-Dimensional Event Sourcing & Correlation - Publicly Available Information (PAI) (MDESC-P) will support collection jointly across disparate PAI sources with coordinated cueing of more constrained intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) sources. The primary objective for MDESC-P is to deliver a scalable and automated PAI collection management solution using a ...

Deep Labs recognizes USSOCOM’s challenge to process multiple data and communications inputs for optimized decision making, and to support rapid on-the-move abilities to learn and communicate knowledge to enhance tactically relevant situational awareness in peer/near peer environments. Deep Labs has proven this capability across complex challenges in the world’s largest commercial enterprises a ...

The new Bottom Attach munitions for the Close Terrain-Shaping Obstacles (CTSO) program, currently under development by the Army, requires that reserve batteries operate 30 days after activation in a low power sleep mode, while providing multiple high-power pulses. This operational profile requires batteries with energy and power densities beyond the limits of the current liquid reserve batteries. ...

As the use of machine learning (ML) models proliferates in commercial and defense applications, the United States Army (Army) faces significant challenges in evaluating the effectiveness, robustness, and safety of these ML models in armament systems. For the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Armaments Center, the decision to enable automated choices in these systems, which encompass l ...

Tungsten (W) has been considered for warhead applications as it has a high density, potentially resulting increased lethality from small, low drag, high kinetic energy fragments at increased or predictable standoff distances.  Injection molding (IM) is considered to be the low-cost fabrication high production volume approach for production providing features that promote fragmentation without m ...

Inspection is central to maintaining the quality of products both during manufacturing and in storage. Non-destructive inspection of the internals of a product often requires imaging of the product by particles with low interaction cross section, such as X-rays. In Computed Tomography (CT), the 3D image is reconstructed using measurements of transmission using a large number of angles (projections ...

In the proposed effort, Clemson University COMSET, Corcoran Engineering, and Freedom Photonics will develop chip-scale directed energy microsystems using coherent beam combining of single mode lasers to provide a high-power output beam with excellent beam quality and high brightness.  To create this high--performance Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC), we will design, fabricate and demonstrate a h ...

Physical Sciences Inc. and Prof. Seth Bank at the University of Texas Austin will develop thin-absorber avalanche photodiodes based on digital alloys of AlInAsSb for high-performance photodetection between 2.0 – 2.5 μm. The AlInAsSb quaternary alloy system allows for compositional grading throughout the device structure, enabling novel photodiode architectures inaccessible with other III-V allo ...

To achieve enhanced tactical performance, speed, reach, and lethality, next-generation hypersonic vehicles must be designed for increased dynamics, control, and maneuverability. Morphing and adaptive structures, and active control surfaces will be critical in achieving these goals. However, the time-varying flow-field brought about by changes in vehicle orientation and configuration make such desi ...

Triton Systems, Inc., in partnership with the University of Alabama and with the support of Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, will design, build, and test the Triton Composite Optical Strain Mapping Integrated Control (COSMIC) System, a combination of (i) terahertz (THz) metamaterial reflectors applied to composite panels that converts linearly polarized light to circularly polarized based on t ...
