Tri-Band Antenna Electronics (AE) for Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna (CRPA) Systems
SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF182114Assured positioning, navigation, and timing (A-PNT) requires constant vigilance against intentional and unintentional sources of coherent and non-coherent interference. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is especially vulnerable to attacks and must be defended through electronic protection (EP) measures such as anti-jam (AJ) and anti-spoof (AS). The proposed effort will investigate the state-of-t ...

Deep Error Prediction
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: AF183001Aret Associates proposes to use recent advances in deep learning to aid operators and analysts currently processing multiple streams of data in real-time, significantly reducing the cognitive burden of human-robot teaming.The black-box nature of Automatic Target and Recognition (ATR) algorithms gives rise to this burden and without meaningful error bounds on these ATR outputs the human operator ca ...
