The SCAND concept improves network system security by increasing the efficiency of human administrators and narrowing the window of opportunity for malicious users to exploit vulnerabilities in network systems. This is achieved through the monitoring and auditing of system security configurations on large-scale, mission critical network systems. The SCAND system uses software agents to compare t ...

A high performance composite gimbal development and demonstration is proposed. This effort will build upon the successful Phase I demonstration of a 3-axis lightweight composite gimbal with precision stabilization and pointing capabilities. Key technology advances include higher overall stiffness through composite fabrication and bearing improvements, an upgraded sensing and processing architectur ...

This Phase II effort demonstrates the feasibility of integrating a chemically powered or “active” infrared (IR) treatment into an inflatable device and then perform three experimental excursions with the hardware: 1) achieve a tunable IR signature by cooling the surface; 2) achieve tunable IR emissions combined with a predetermined and fixed radar cross section (RCS); and 3) achieve both varia ...
