Precision time bases capable to withstanding high shock application have been difficult to achieve due to the inherent sensitivity of stable, frequency control component to vibration and inertial loading. These limitations are due substantially to packaging requirements of the components, e.g. hermetic, non-surface-contracting enclosures. The assembled component and its package could not be rigi ...

ABSTRACT: Applied Pulsed Power, Inc. (APP) proposes to develop a solid state switch for high voltage sub-microsecond pulsed power, using silicon carbide modules. The objective of the solicitation is to develop a compact, solid state pulsed power switch capable of switching 20-50 kV, and I > 5 kA with low jitter, fast rise time (~20 ns), L < 20 nH, pulse length 100 to 1000 ns, and up to 1000 Hz pr ...

To address the need of the Air Force in terrestrial based optical imaging for space situational awareness (SSA) with high-resolution imagery, Applied Science Innovations, Inc. (ASI) proposes development of the Coded-Aperture Lucky Imaging for Space Situational Awareness (CALISSA) – a novel, computational coherent-imaging technique capable of high-resolution and high performance imaging without i ...

AVI proposes to develop a software application that will greatly improve both the effiency and timeliness of monitoring the security of complex C4T information networks and databases. The software will provide an interactive 3 dimensional picture of network status and activity that relies on graphical cues rather than current textual data. The system will transform the textual data, gathered by of ...

AVI proposes to develop a software tool that will greatly improve the efficiency of Air Operations Center (AOC) activities. The software will provide an interactive, navigable, 3D model of Air Tasking Orders (ATOs) as they are generated. It will transform the textual data into structures compatible with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) standard, then feed them into a real-time viewin ...

The x86 architecture’s inherent security model has a very large attack surface due to the fact that a large amount of software runs in a privileged level and has unfettered access to critical system state. Software used for data piracy or exfiltration, stealthy execution, malicious alteration of critical information, or control of network end-nodes takes advantage of this large attack surface to ...

Distributed systems have become too complex to develop and maintain without the aid of mathematical techniques supported by automated tools.  Abstraction has been the most reliable means for gaining intellectual control of such complexities.  Over the past several years, ATC-NY and Cornell University have developed the event logic formalism to support specification and reasoning about distribute ...

Digital forensics is the science of investigating digital devices, transmissions, and storage media to acquire legal evidence related to a crime.  The discipline is essential in addressing rising cyber crime rates, and acting as a deterrent to insider threats by providing attribution.  There is need for advanced training capabilities to help students rapidly acquire the specialized skills needed ...

Upgrading a service in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be costly and inefficient, especially since in SOA environments services typically depend on other services in a system-of-systems context. ATC-NY, together with Architecture Technology Corporation, will develop WIRE (Web service Interface Revision Environment), a system designed to efficiently manage version problems in a large dist ...

We propose to develop an object-oriented toolbox for modeling, control design and analysis of distributed parameter systems based on PDESolve, our commercially available PDE computing sybstrate. The toolbox will be an open environment containing all the components required a PDE control problem, including the effect of sensors and actuators. With the toolbox, the user will be able to design and ...
