The objective of this effort is to develop a novel prototype receiver architecture capable of 20+ GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).The main performance benefit from this type of technology will be very fast detection times. Combining ultra wideband hardware technology with sample clock modulation will result in a high probability of seeing every pulse associated with all signals of interest (S ...

FireHUD has developed a real-time, IoT solution for monitoring and analyzing the biometrics of individuals and groups. The solution is currently in use in the firefighting industry but can be applied to any scenario where aggregated group monitoring of physiological status is warranted. The system monitors biometrics through the use of a non-invasive, arm-worn device which provides hands-free coll ...

In this Phase I Air Force SBIR program, Phase Sensitive Innovations seeks deployment of a hyperspectral microwave photonic radiometer operating full band at V-Band (50-75 GHz) and/or G-Band (110-300 GHz) with 1 GHz spectral resolution on a 6U CubeSat bus in polar orbit for remote sensing applications. Our payload consumes about 2U, while 4U are available for avionics (e.g. attitude control, power, ...

Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) is a vital military satellite communication system that manages strategic military operations, classified information, and mm-wave communication. Consequently, reliable and secure operation of the AEHF is always a top priority, which necessitates that communications between AEHF satellites and intended targets (air, ground, and sea) be as resilient and agil ...

Many existing network intrusion detection systems (IDS) employ expensive deep packet inspection (DPI) and sophisticated pattern matching algorithms to spot evidence of known threats in the network traffic. While IDS are a valuable component of a defense-in-depth strategy, they often require significant compute power, tend to miss new (previously unknown) threats, run on heavy hardware, may require ...

Structural skins and other components of the latest generation of advanced military aircraft include fiber glass or quartz composite construction. Such materials are used in places where a low or moderate dielectric constant is required. Where this structure is installed, it is important for the dielectric properties to be consistent across the component. A spatially-varying dielectric permittivit ...

Our innovative 3D Motion Analysis technology allows for fast and efficient screening of running technique in military personnel that has previously not been available to this scale. We propose providing education and training on our portable 3D Motion Analysis technology to military personnel to explore new ways to utilize this technology. The education and training will focus on ways to identify ...

Ionic Security proposes to design, deploy and demonstrate an enterprise-scale Data Protection Engine and Platform that disrupts the need for traditional perimeter security architectures and end point applications that focus security efforts on networks and access points. Th solution will provide a granular data centric protection and access enforcement engine that encrypts data at scale and preven ...

The seeds of failures of Defense projects can often be traced back to poor quality requirements and a lack of portfolio level coherence between associated projects. Because projects have become so complex, 100% paper-based methods are no longer suitable for requirements management. In June 2018, the DoD released its Digital Engineering Strategy which calls on the services to “move the primar ...

VRgluv is a force feedback haptic glove for virtual reality that tracks your fingers and applies forces across your hands to simulate the presence of virtual objects by stopping your fingers and providing a realistic sense of touch. When integrated into a virtual training environment, VRgluv provides the optimal input device to allow users to train hands-on procedures and develop the procedural me ...
