ABSTRACT: In Phase I, Advances in graph computing and data analytics are leveraged to demonstrate techniques for analyzing interactions among independent systems understanding emergent behaviors in SoS (e.g., agent based simulation). The focus is on integration of software tools to create an environment testbed for A2AD that allows for holistic and contiguous connection of data nodes, edges and ar ...

ABSTRACT: The Sonalysts Team proposes to develop a solution to establish secure cross enclave network interfaces that facilitate the flow of data between different levels of classification while improving and ensuring both security and data integrity. We will develop a prototype software application that will complement Cross-Domain Solution (CDS) installations by standardizing configuration and ...

ABSTRACT: Several current fighter aircraft with external store configurations persistently encounter Limit Cycle Oscillation (LCO) problems. A fast and accurate aeroelastic prediction is required to identify the critical LCO configurations given the massive number of aircraft with store combinations short-time frame demanded by rapid military responses when facing todays ever-changing internation ...

ABSTRACT: High throughput quality control measurement methods are of critical importance for many fields, including agriculture, automobile manufacture, and the liquid crystal display industry. For instance, spectral imaging can quantify chemical identification and localization of compounds on surfaces. Meanwhile, polarimetric imaging can be used to quantify structural aspects of a surface, such ...

ABSTRACT: The proposal overall objective is to develop a rigorous understanding of the electronic structure and semiconductor-laser application related physics properties of the novel III-V-Bi material system. The sophisticated, graphical user interface driven software tools already established for standard III-V semiconductor heterostructures will be extended and generalized to become applicabl ...

ABSTRACT: Material extrusion 3D printing is an Additive Manufacturing method which utilizes a polymeric monofilanment as a feedstock in the fabrication of 3D objects. The relative simplicity compared to other AM technologies makes it an attractive manufacturing tool, however, characteristics inherent to this 3D printing method (namely air gaps between print rasters) makes it undesirable for the 3D ...

ABSTRACT: The ability to convert extreme aerodynamic heating into electricity via thermoelectric generators presents a unique opportunity to leverage this otherwise undesirable condition. The harvested energy can be used to power the significant electrical demand of a hypersonic/long range vehicle while also aiding in managing high temperatures. To address this need for an high temperature thermoe ...

ABSTRACT:The objective of this program is to design and produce a commercial-like ground support aircraft cooling and 400 Hz power system that is made from predominantly commercial sub-systems, such as a commercially available (COTS) generator, engines, air conditioning components, blower, and trailer. The system would incorporate novel recirculation of the evaporator condensate to pre-cool the a ...

ABSTRACT:Both commercial and military aircraft are being flown/utilized for extended operational time; a more accurate prediction of residual life and the inspection interval for an individual aircraft is required, as these aging aircraft are kept in operational status. A technique for converting actual aircraft measured flight usage data into accurate calculated stresses/strains on the structural ...

ABSTRACT:In response to SBIR AF141-124 Phase II request for proposal, Rincon Research Corporation (RRC) proposes to optimize and validate the results of the Phase I study, which determined that a constellation of 5-kg 10x10x30-cm low earth orbiting cubesats can geolocate a terrestrial transmitter that is interfering with the communications of a U.S. Government satellite. We optimize Phase I findin ...
