This program is expected to result in a high-temperature heat pipe passive cooling system for space-borne phased array antennas. The innovative approach chosen for this project will result in a reliable g-force independent cooling system that is robust against launch and vibration forces as well as the zero-g environment of space. The system is lightweight, inexpensive, and efficient, and has th ...

This program is expected to result in a compact, high energy density, silent propulsion system for small unmanned autonomous systems (SUAS). The innovative approach chosen for this project will substantially increase both range and time aloft of miniature unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), while using far less electricity. This will leave more available electricity for sensors and communications resu ...

This program is expected to result in a miniature drying and microclimate cooling system for the interior of MOPP Level 4 protective suits. The innovative approach chosen for this project will result in a gravity-independent drying/microclimate cooling system that operates with JP-5, or other heavy fuels, universally available to the user, enabling continuous use over extended missions. The integr ...

This Small Business Innovation Research project proposes to develop a hybrid Cartesian grid/gridless solver for fast prediction of store separation. In this approach, a Cartesian grid is used to cover the majority of the computational domain except near the body surfaces to take advantages of ease of grid generation and computational efficiency of the Cartesian grid approach. Near the body surface ...

We plan to develop a Virtual Radio Frequency (RF) Environment for testing Command, Control, Communications (C3) systems. Testing the large tactical C3 systems requires fielding hundreds of nodes and providing thousands of signals/messages to meet the operational requirements. This is very expensive and often the large numbers of systems are not available. Our Virtual RF Environment (VRE) would all ...

The low data rate of the MIL-STD-1553B bus is limiting the capability and performance of current applications. These applications and others under development could be augmented by increasing the data rate under which these systems communicate. The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) is one example of a system that could benefit from the increased data rate. The current 1553 protocol suppor ...

The DataSoft Network Obfuscation and Virtualized Anti-reconnaissance system (NOVA) detects hostile network reconnaissance and denies access to real network information while simultaneously providing false network information to attackers. This results in attackers expending significantly extra time and effort, allowing defenders additional time to mount an appropriate response. NOVA is a novel dis ...

The DataSoft Software Defined Radio (SDR) Tool Suite (STS) provides a new and enhanced capability to the SDR developers via two independent tools: the STS-WF Analysis Tool and the STS-Probe Toolbox. The STS-WF Analysis Tool can reduce cost and schedule by assessing new waveform (WF) and platform (PF) compatibilities along with guidelines from standard portability and compliance documents early in ...

The U.S. military’s next-generation radio system, JTRS, is based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and will create new opportunities, methods, and applications for generating and sharing tactical data. One of the many challenges in realizing the JTRS vision is to create small, lightweight, embeddable devices that operate from battery power, meet the requirements for performance, SCA com ...

The U.S. military''s next-generation radio system, Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), is based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and will create new opportunities, methods, and applications for generating and sharing tactical data. To realize the JTRS vision, a Universal RF Transceiver (UT), capable of implementing the complex communications waveforms of today and tomorrow, is required. ...
