Defending against state-of-the-art cyber attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats requires the capability to counter the adversarys actions after they have already gained a foothold within our networks. Network deception techniques, working in conjunction with normal cyber defense methods, can alter the underlying attack process, making it more difficult, time consuming, and cost prohibitive fo ...

RNIs is proposing a novel approach for the Dismounted Augmented Reality Environment (DARE) as a component of the STE that is intended to fully integrate and interoperate with other STE components including live, virtual, and constructive domains, existing and future dismountedtraining simulations and equipment, and support cloud-based development and content delivery.

Diagnostics and instrumentation is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the next generation of technology to defeat chemical and biological weapons.This proposal addresses the need for instrumentation to quantify the spatial and temporal evolution of fundamental physical and chemical processes, such as temperature and species identification and concentration, pertinent to the pyrolytic destruct ...

This Phase 1 project will develop a scalable manufacturing process for the production of kilogram quantities of encapsulated HI3O8 with a particle size of approximately 2 m. This project addresses the need to develop manufacturing processes and build a production capability for the manufacture of HI3O8 a halogen-containing chemical reagent for use in biocidal thermite mixtures. Akita Innovations ...

Agiltron will develop a new class of chemical vapor analyzer by leveraging Agiltrons development and production of micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) products and expertise with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis and film fabrication. Our approach capitalizes on integration of these separate technologies to generate a unique and novel functionality that fully addresses all r ...

Agiltron Inc. is proposing a mid-infrared, hyperspectral, tomography-based sensor to achieve high sensitivity, accuracy, speed and resolution, and three dimensional chemical/biological warfare agent concentration monitoring in an explosion plume. This innovative approach will leverage Agiltrons existing expertise in gas sensing, spectral imaging, wavelength multiplexing/de-multiplexing, optical co ...

As analysts and operators move from data to insights, tools are needed for supervisory control, command and control, and intelligence analysis. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) requires the ability to navigate and interpret mounds of data to produce actionable decisions. Through the Urban Telepresence program, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is redefining a concept of ...

It is not likely that an autonomous system can be programmed with all the information it requires to perform every mission or every variation of every contingency within the near future. One way to address this issue is to provide user-friendly means to teach or program a robot to add to its autonomous capability. This proposal focuses on the physical aspects of the robot performance, manipulat ...

Recent advancements in sensor simulation tools [2] have improved our ability to model radar, lidar, camera, and GPS with software/hardware in the loop. Of course, our ability to model the physics of heavy trucks [3] is quite mature as well. To address the challenge of developing the STE, we will provide our autonomy algorithms as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). The focus of this topic ...

With the proliferation of cheap sensors, reduction in storage costs and the ubiquity of communication networks, Cyber-Physical Systems are collecting and storing data at an unprecedented rate. Analysis of such large databases is necessary to find relevant information and improve the efficiency of the Cyber Physical System. The goal of an analysis tool, simply put is to find the most interesting in ...
